I realise this will be juxtaposed with the tacky style crimes thread, but do you think I can get away with...

[MadamAnt]

wet look leggings?

Maybe teamed with a lightweight, slim-fitting, long-ish white cotton shirt, wide belt and flat boots?

if you are rail thin then yes go for it

Didn't the Wet Look get shoved to the back of the closet in the 80's? A major style crime IMO sorry!

I think the only way you can manage them is if you are close to 6ft and around a size 8/10...

They are really not my taste though so I am probably not giving the best advice!

I LOVE them - if you have slim legs. Would get myself if I had something to wear it too.

Am a 10-12, so not uber-skinny. I did see a hip young thing who looked about the same size as me yesterday, and she looked good IMO. I think I was more concerned about the age factor (I'm 33).

age doesn't matter
how tall are you?

My legs are in good nick, but I don't have snake-hips. By a long shot

I'm 5'6"

go for it
they are only £18

They would be very unforgiving of any minor imperfection I would think.

Even if you were 6' tall and size 8 you would have to have perfectly formed legs, no knobbly knees, no VPL etc etc

But all that said, if you want to wear them then wear them! Lifes too short to live in jeans and a fleece

I think the shirt and boots thing sounds odd.

I'd wear THESE here wiht a long blakc sweater and heels.

No. No. No.

get the gold american apparel ones

You'd have to wear these on your feet if you do get them...

if you want wet look then move to devon.
or stop doing pelvic floor exercises.

i'm not usually one to fret the age thing but tbh i think it does matter here - gorgeous young things can somehow get away with all kinds of stuff that really shouldn't be allowed (like wet look leggings!) when we mere mortals can't.

If you are worried about your age you could wear them out, at first, in a grown-up-goth look. That's pretty safe. Boots would have to be a bit glam too. Not necessarily heeled (though that will make you look slimmer). Just not brown suede or anything like that.
Thing about white shirt/certain flat boots is that it can look too studenty or low-rent 80s revival.
All Saints are doing a lot of goth-glam at the moment.
Choose a top long enough to cover the bottom area - nightmare leggings area unless young Christy Turlington.

goth

By Eck!

Serin remembers wearing these aged 15 many moons ago.

.........Goes off giggling to remind best friend what we looked like!!

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Even beautiful, stick-insect teenagers look ridiculous in these.

I like the idea - but yes only for evening wear - hardly toddler group wear.
ALl saints stuff looks utterly post apopcalyptic imo.

I really like them,I think sass and bide started /revived this fashion with there rats pants and i don't think either of them are under 30 and always look great sass and bide

gotta laugh at dragonbutter's response

Hideous. I actually have a facebook group devoted to how hideous they are. Grim. You may as well wear normal leggings and wet yourself.

This is great Madamant. you've chosen a truly controversial and divisive item of apparel.

Absolutely dare you to get them and wear them on the school run.

Then you can tell us what it was like to truly live the avant-garde fashion experience.

Certainly better than being dull and conformist.

I think they would look quite cool with a long sheer tunic with a vest underneath, or a top that skims the top of the thighs, unless you have legs like
