After last week’s Blues Brothers hip glasses, we continue to shine the spotlight on the ’80s revival. And when talking of ’80s redux, how can one leave out the strongest relic of that decade leggings that are back from the dead. They may have been shoved into the back of your wardrobe, but this footless hosiery, which may look ridiculous if worn wrong, can also look luxurious and functional when worn right.

This season has seen the revival of leggy fashion. Along with skinny pants and drainpipes, leggings are the haute statement for now. Stella McCartney started the revival, and the trend has finally filtered down from die-hard fashionistas to the street.

Wear them with loose slouchy silhouettes on top, like a shirtwaister or a loose flowing dress. They also look very hip with micro-minis. A special tip: scrunch them up to show off your sexy boots.
