Things You Can't Wear Anymore: Leggings Edition

Posted by Nina Lalli at 6:01 PM, August 7, 2007

We're assuming you already know that you can no longer where Uggs, keffiyehs, "thunderbird" beaded moccasins, or gaucho pants. In this feature on Threadster, we will try to make sure you're not the last to know when it's time to throw in the towel on some other trend.

First up: Leggings. As we have said before, we skipped leggings altogether, because we are short, and we do not wish to ever make a line that will cause our legs to appear even stumpier. But for those of you who were pulling it off, it was fun while it lasted. Now you have to stop.

Note: This does not, (nor does anything really) apply to our own icon Lynn Yaeger, who wears leggings every day and has been for many years. She can do whatever she wants.

Um, okay, so several of those things are still in heavy rotation. I refuse to surrender my moccasins. Also, how the hell am I supposed to wear these stupid above-the-knee little dresses if I can't wear leggings? I think wearing them is a less serious offense than exposing my thighs to the world.

I know I'm wrong to do so but when it's WINTER all I want are uggs on my feet.....it feels good to be wrong sometimes.

Drop dead! Anyone that doesn't like moccasins is a jerk! I'll wear mine forever. This particular American footwear will always be in fashion.

Where Uggs? Interesting question. Where to wear the Uggs. Sigh.
