To legging or not to legging---report from a rookie fashion police

Legging. The comeback relics of the 80s.
Every girl has a pair, and every girl wears a pair. You may see flamengos or German sausage walking down the streets with the same pair of legging and wonder how does legging get itself to be so popular? (or it just goes to show the majority of women are dumb down by the fashion magazine.) I don't pride myself to be any way smarter than my kind, I have a pair or two of leggings lying around in my drawer.

The right pair of leggings will create the exact illusion that would make you turn around and look at the vision and ask who is that girl? Oh, that's JUST my reflection. Therefore, choosing the right pair is absolutely crucial. First of all, I think women should dress their age. Women past 30-something should not be seen in mini skirts in the public anymore except some ex-Spice Girls. Nor should someone who is in her teens over dress herself in order to look matured.

White Leggings:
only little girls under 10 should wear it.
White legging only looks good on Olive, Popeye's girl friend. And the color white hints innocent, child-like character which doesn't go as well with women. (Unless Lotila style is what you are after) Don't look at the package of this exist-only-as-two-leg model (where the hell is her head anyway?) in white legging and be persuaded to believe that could be you. Sista, it ain't goin to be like dat.

Fishnet and big pattern leggings:
Women with brave tastes and going to places such as bars or pubs and wish to get some attention should definitely be seen in those. Otherwise don't. Very misleading kind of leggings. If insists on wearing it in the board day light, one can tone it down by wearing another pair of no pattern mono-color legging underneath it.

Stripy or bon bon color leggings:
Only appropriate when working in a circus or in a kid's birthday party.

Metallic leggings:
Christmas tree ornament or spaceman gone tight fitted.

And finally, remember that legging is not a pair of pants. It would be sensible to put something on longer than your behind.
