I’m not a fan of leggings. I don’t think they’re particularly flattering on my body, and, truth be told, I don’t find them especially comfortable either. However, I seem to be in the minority; celebrities from Fergie to Lindsay Lohan have been feeling the legging love for some time now, and I think I’ve finally come to accept that leggings are officially back - plus, I have to admit that I’ve seen some ladies pull them off with undeniable panache. And then the cruel fashion gods have to go and pull this on me: LIQUID LEGGINGS.

Like I said, regular leggings are one thing. They’re casual. They can be cute. I don’t wear them, but I can appreciate them in certain situations. But this?! Liquid leggings, by definition, are shiny, skin-tight and totally unforgiving. Why would you wear these if you don’t have the body of a supermodel? Why would you wear them if you do? I just don’t get it. Actually, on second thought, I think we can trace this trend directly to the final scene in Grease, in which Olivia Newton-John wows a fit, pre-Scientology John Travolta with her bad girl sassiness and a blindingly shiny pair of formfitting black pants.

Okay, I grew up watching Grease at slumber parties like tons of other girls my age! Bad Sandy is cool, I get it…kinda. But I still wouldn’t wear it. What about you?
