What is up with the shiny leggings?

[jfhave]

I just came across this pic and saw one of Lauren Conrad wearing similar ones a few days ago. I am not liking this look at all. Do any of you fashionistas rock this look? Or are you guys as appalled as I am?

Pic on next post...

no...it doesn't bother me at least she has the legs for them

It has nothing to do with how nice someones legs are in my mind. I think they are kinda tacky looking...

It's kinda disco. I would rock that.

i think it's alright, though i couldn't pull it off. a lot of people are into the
Lamé legging because it has a similar look to skintight leather/latex pants.

She looks hot, I could name much worse trends out there

Well somehow she even makes a sack-shaped sweater-coat thing look good.

The black is not so bad IMO...
I do not like the liquid gold and silver leggings though.

Yeah, these leggings were made popular by American Apparel and are not only available in black but tons of bright colours, PLUS glittery ones!

I own the gold glitter ones above and they are fun to wear once in a while :O) I find they look a lot less intense in real life as apposed to pics

I already hate leggings, making them shiny or sparkly does not help!

i have a shiny pair that i don't wear alot, but when i do, i love the look...

ahhh. i think they're really tacky. especially the metallic ones from American Apparel.

i have very muscular legs, so anything super tight and shiny is an instant no-no. and generally, regardless of size, i find shiny leggings to be incredibly unflattering.

shiny legging like AA or lycra leggings have been popular here for the past year, I personally like them.
