Bare calves and then flip flops.

Leg warmers?

Teddypicker1 · 31/08/2019 22:04

I loved leg warmers as a teen. I'd have them pulled over my heel though and with trainers.

Leg warmers?

CaptainMyCaptain · 31/08/2019 22:07

I wore leg warmers in the 80s but with thick tights and ankle boots.

So basically a leg warmer. These ones not my cup of tea tbh

MitziK · 31/08/2019 22:40

Shit. Legwarmers are back.

I only made a pair to wear with my long boots last week - I used a cardie that was too heavy for me, the body turned into the DTwatCats' pillow, the sleeves into the warmers.

DP laughed at me.

I am vindicated. I am a fashion goddess.

God No, not legwarmers coming back? Shock

I used to wear skinny jeans , tucker boots and leg warmers in the late 80s , they were a thing .
Add in fingerless red gloves and a donkey jacket ......lush

Not a look I'll revisit though .

Barry, is that you?

StrumpersPlunkett · 31/08/2019 23:37

Not really as cool as leg warmers were in the 80’s def more just the folded over cuff from sturdy walking socks.
Saw it on several different people in Germany on holiday this summer all shorts (not lederhosen) socktop things and fucking flip flops!!!
Baffled

OMG scary stuff!!!

DontCallMeShitley · 01/09/2019 00:25

Boot cuffs apparently.

Andromache77 · 01/09/2019 08:06

Where in Germany? Were they wearing Lederhosen? Maybe it's a (scary) modern take on the Lederhosen and hiking boots look but taking into account climate change.
