Very short skirts with leggings? Again? ... Really?

[NotQuiteCockney]

Ok, I stay out of this section, but wanted to know ... are people really wearing very short skirts with leggings underneath again? Really? Why?

I mean, I wore them before, and I do sorta see the point, but they just look funny to me now ...

Yes people wear them

young girls with silly beads and even sillier hairstyles

and Franny

Oops. Really?

I think I still have one of those pointless strange short skirts in a drawer somewhere. And Old Navy are selling leggings that go to mid-calf and have nice edges on them.

Wearing skirts but not having to worry about chafing, or showing your knickers, sounds good. But I fear I would point and laugh if I saw people wearing this ...

Did you just reqad my post 2 minutes ago about my outfit and start this thread??!!

this trend is sooooooooo over

according to mags

thank the lord

No, Thomcat, I did notice something about footless tights, but didn't realise you meant the short skirt look.

Sorry, I'm sure it looks lovely on you though.

they are bananarama rejects

ah

sorry tc

Do I look bovered?!

WhatevERRRRRR!

better than very short skirts without leggings imo.
Rolling acres of corned beef or inoffensive black cotton/lycra - you choose...

Yes, fair point, MrsB. I never did short skirts without the tights, personally.

The capri-style leggings with a sort of lacy edge at Old Navy are very cute.

I bought pyjama bottoms and shorts, and two really nice racer back vests, though.

depends whether you have nice legs or not mrsb

glad the shopping's going well then, despite my utter lack of useful advice

I say get the leggings - if this autumn's going to be all 60s tunic dresses etc they'll be handy.

I'm not wearing them with short tight skirts, because it makes my bottom look "Freakishly Small" (TM MrsBadger)

I am wearing them with long skirts, or shorter flarey dresses. I think the young girls look very cute in them with their beads and silly hair.

[shame]

I'm sure it's not in any way freakish
I was just jealous I tell ya

No in a short tight skirt it does look it

Dp told me so

Funnily enough I had a conversation with a friend about this the other day after seeing lots of teenage girls wearing this combo.

I like the look (but then again I'm biased as I did it last time round). I'm too old to get away with it now though which is a shame.

Leggings hurrah! not a great look but sooo comfortable...

Remember this the first time round (old git arent I ?)Wouldnt wear it now though!

No, I won't be wearing this. I'll wear shortish skirts with thick tights and knee high boots but not cut off leggings.

too peaches geldof for my liking

Surely you're not old enough to remenber them first time round?

Agree with Gobbledigook AND Anniemac. It's a teenage/young woman style

Tis. 33 yr olds are going to look a bit daft in that get up - generally. There will be some women of that age that just have that look and will be OK but I think for the majority it's going to look mutton

i want us to get back to the really long 70s skirts, i couldn't wait to dress like my big sisters but never got the opportunity (i'm 37 btw!)
