A legging question

[girl_next_door]

I have dozens of leggings and my favorites are the DKNY. However, I'm always curious on the difference between a $100 leggings versus a $500 leggings versus a $1000 leggings. I'm not referring to leather leggings but just simple jersey leggings like these

Anyone care to share the insight?

$500 cotton leggings?
I can't imagine spending over $50 MAX and I'll spend more on my Lululemon ones, but that's it.

I love my zella live in leggings...they're great imo at $50...$500+ is toooooo expensive imo.

Oh my. $1000 for Herve Leger leggings made in China?
What's that saying? A fool and his money are soon parted?

^LOL

Yeah for leggings I don't buy more than 20$ (on sale, so retail is like 50 ish?)

HL has never been a favorite of mine. If I were to splurge 500$ on leggings they'd be from Rick Owens. And he uses virgin wool which is different and very high quality. Hand spun and very warm. In general anything over 100$ you're paying for the brand mainly, design team, and the materials used come in second.

I love Zella. They're always at nor day rack and you can stock up during the anniv sale.

I'm not sure what the difference is but I can vouch for $30 Express leggings. They're where it's at!

For that price, I would definitely wear these as pants...LOL!

I don't spend more than $12 on leggings, BUT I kind of understand Herve Leger leggings. They aren't typical cotton leggings that are going to wear like cotton leggings. They're a different fabric and design, and they probably fit great like his dresses, and are probably a lot more durable than normal leggings. Can't see myself ever buying them, but I understand them more than $100 plain cotton leggings that aren't really distinguishable from $20 leggings and aren't going to last that long.

I love my DKNY leggings because they fit very well. I had bought numerous leggings and they don't seems to fit, it keeps sliding down.

I have never tried or worn the thousand dollars leggings and am curious how different is it?

I'm guessing they hold you in like the Herve Leger dresses do. Probably not worth the 1k price tag though. I think they just cost that much because of the brand name. Those leggings will be half price before you know it.

Not sure if I would buy them, since I pretty much save my wardrobe budget for work clothes... but I would try them on!

This. I'm afraid to count how many I own. Their jeggings too! They hold you in. I don't see the point in spending serious money on leggings when you're going to have a million pairs anyway. But that's just me.
