Leg warmers

[GoodnightGrandma]

Has anyone seen leg warmers in any shops ?

That took me straight backto the 1980s...

Leg warmers tucked into pixie boots, good times 🤣

I was thinking about leg warmers for my 6 year old to wear. I used to have lovely green and blue striped ones in the 80s

I got some this week from Claire's accessories for my 7 yo, they're very stretchy so possible they'd fit adults.

Thanks. I’ve given in and ordered some on-line.
My DS thinks I’m mad, but I’m fed up of having cold ankles when I’m walking the dogs !

I love leg warmers and wear mine before and after workouts with my leggings. They're fab for walks too. I get all mine off eBay. Loads on there of all different colours and styles.

I've been craving legwarmers too!

Just ordered a pair off Etsy! 🤣

Used to love my leg warmers back in the day. Didn't know you could still get them. Might treat myself.

I didn’t know I needed leg warmers until I read this thread! Etsy have some great ones.

I'm an 80's teenager and love everything that takes me back there 🤗
Does your town have a good indoor/outdoor market?
I think mine has stocked the same range for 40 years.
Fluorescent if one so desires

I’ve not been to the indoor market where I live. I don’t go into town any more as it’s dead, unfortunately.
I might get some fluorescent ones just to dance round the house in, and possibly some sweat bands 🤣🤣

H and M have some at the moment.

I have some really nice thick ones from Uniqlo, for anyone still looking.

I've just made myself a beautiful pair. I can't wait to wear while I'm walking in the park

When I was thinking about leg warmers it reminded me of those over-the-knee socks that we used to make baggy at the ankle. Some pulled them right up, but that must have been seen as too sexy or something, so it was banned and we had to have them baggy.

Remember "ski pants"? With the bit of elastic under each foot?

They’re called stirrup pants now 🙄 re-inventing the wheel !
