Fall Trend: LEGGINGS

My sister's middle school recently instated a new dress code banning tight pants (yoga pants, leggings) and crop tops.

Before I say anything else, I'm NOT a supporter of 11-year-olds' rights to wear revealing clothes. Even in high school there's a fine line between acceptably revealing and uncomfortably hoe-baggish.

But, the leggings part I feel is a bit overkill. Sure, when I was in middle school, my mom didn't allow me to wear them as pants and I didn't want to anyway. But when I got to high school I slowly warmed to them. Now I practically live in my yoga crops.

Saying that, leggings are a huuuuge fall trend, and you can get some high-end, high-priced ones from designers and department stores now. That's some classy shit.


The great thing about leggings is they're so versatile. You can dress them way up or way down, plus they're so darn comfortable. It's like wearing no pants at all. Which we'd all rather do, let's admit it.

Here are examples of two dressed-up and dressed-down leggings styles:
