SHOP: Marios Net Top With Leggings, $226  fashionSHOP: Marios Net Top With Leggings, $226  fashionI’ve been in the mood for something totally unique and bizarre lately. Well, it looks like I found my next obsession in this awesome tights and net top combination. It’s like having tights that also serve as a scarf and suspenders. If versatility is your thing, then this top/tights/scarf has your name written all over it!

Get it at Pixie Market!

TRENDSPARK: Knee-Padded Leggings

marc fall 2009Set aside the carnal use for knee-padded leggings and you’ll come to find that they are some must-have, trendy pieces for the fall. I love how the knee-pad contributes to the fall’s biker-chic trend and acts as a more industrial alternative to plain leggings and tights.

TRENDSPARK: Licks fashion

Since leggings are here to stay, Lee Jeans from Australia has introduced what they’re calling Licks, the mixing of “Leggings + Jeans”.

“Think leggings, with a zip and a fly. These babies are so slim through the leg that if we hadn’t put a sexy zip in the inseam a normal human girl wouldn’t get them over her foot. They are the ultimate skinny jean – that give you the sleek legging look, with the durability and design features of a jean.”

Not found in the U.S. yet, Licks run around $135-$165 (US dollars).

RANDOM COOL: James Lillis Chain Cage Leggings

RANDOM COOL: James Lillis Chain Cage Leggings fashion

Lohan better move over cause these leggings by James Lillis are incredibly covetable (and at $120 bucks a real steal). I suddenly wish I wore leggings just so I can look awesome in these. Queen Michelle does a great job at playing test dummy for these highly desired pant alternatives.

Can’t wait to see which stores in New York pick them up.

STREET HEROES: How London Wears Leggings fashion


We know that leggings are here to stay, which is why we all have embraced them, whether or not we’d like to admit. I think it’s interesting to see how other major cities rock leggings, and I think the above are two great examples. In the first image, the outfit is a bit image overloady for me, but it works. In the second image, the girly is rocking a pair of leggings that closely resemble denim, which is super cool.

LiLo to Design Panty Hose

LiLo to Design Panty Hose fashion

Guess it’s natural progression to go from leggings to panty hose…Lindsay Lohan’s line 6126 will soon expand into panty hose, one pair is rumored to resemble the two toned Chanel hose from Fall 09.

I’m actually excited for this, there aren’t too many designers creating fun hose out there, looking forward to two toned tights.

Great by themselves with a top or as an add on under a cute dress, when too much black is just too much and you need some added pattern (which I love).

Black Pony Hair Patent Wedge

I love anything black pony, and I love wedges, so this is the perfect combo. Also cute with colored tights, the hue will peak through the cutout and look ultra cute.

Can’t say enough about this dress. I actually don’t like plaid, but this is adorable. A great way to feminize the oversized plaid button up shirt, and looks quite comfy and warm for the winter.

The Way to Wear It: Sheer Jumpsuits

The Way to Wear It: Sheer Jumpsuits fashion

Just because Angela Lindvall rocked out the solid to sheer jumpsuit at Stella McCartney’s Spring 2009 show, doesn’t mean we all can. This photograph is a bit misleading…what on earth has she got on underneath the jumpsuit? Could there be a bodysuit under there? Maybe a pair of boy-shorts? Nude lingerie? Sheer on the runway has become more and more acceptable, but I don’t know how the public would react to this jumpsuit with a view. So, how would you wear it?

After checking out Fashionista’s call for ideas on the way to wear this jumpsuit, I came across a reader comment that was spot on. Leggings. Duh! Why didn’t I think of that? Why not sport this awesome jumpsuit with a pair of slimming leggings to balance out the airy flow of the sheer legs. Match a top base layer to the leggings and you’re on your way to one hell of a knock-out look! 

 

Thanks STYLE and Fashionista!

Rihanna Commits More Fashion Crimes

Rihanna Commits More Fashion Crimes fashion

Oh Rihanna!?! How many times do we have to tell you that pleather spandex leggings are NOT a fashion item, and wearing them as pants is just about the worse fashion crime that you can commit in my book. Also, what is with the acid wash denim jacket, did we just go back 20 years in fashion? Oh, and didn’t we catch you wearing the same pants (and boots) earlier this week? Yes we did, below.

Costume Dept Leggins


Costume Dept Leggins fashion

These deliciously tacky leggings by Costume Dept. are so bad, they’re good. To those who are actually old enough to remember the era from whence they came, this was the kind of garment synonymous with crunchy hair, acrylic talons, spiked heels and New Jersey. But as far as most 80’s babies are concerned, this is just another addition to our schizophrenic wardrobe (and the perfect piece for that M.I.A. Halloween costume). The Hollywood-based brand offers a wide selection of leggings that come in edgy, throwback prints, and metallic and lame`. Made of mostly flammable material, they also come with cheeky names like Gaudy Gold, Liquid Mercury, and Midnight Madam. Bootylicious girls beware…these are for skinny bitches only.

Would ya wear these, indies?

How To Wear Leggings (without looking like an American Apparel reject)

I’ll be honest. I really used to hate leggings. I thought they looked ridiculous on most girls who used the glorified stockings as an alternative to pants.  Of course, with time, the testament of the eighties grew on me and I came to appreciate the thinner, American Apparel addicted silhouettes that were making down the streets of New York.

But how does the fashionably forward wear leggings today, now that most of the city has adopted a pants-free attitude?

Here are some new ways to wear the fashion staple…

How To Wear Leggings (without looking like an American Apparel reject) fashion

ADD SHINE – This season leggings are going Lycra creating sleek, shark-skin shines that will add an extra bit of boom to your look.   The leggings pictured above by The Row (The Olsens line) is the perfect look for the urbanite looking for a bit more attention and set you in a leggings crowd all your own.  (On the model – The Row’s lambskin on cotton and Lycra leggings and viscose T-shirt worn with Don the Verb’s wool coat. Rise Up’s organic cotton shirt and scarf; Tashkent by Cheyenne’s boots.)

THAT 70’s SHOW - The seventies meets the eighties as tie dye influences add flair to the bland legging.  WARNING: Engage this look with caution. We will call you a reject if it looks like members of The Doors splugged all over your legs. (On the model -  Blue Blood’s leather jacket, Mark and Estel’s cotton T-shirt and Gary Graham’s cotton leggings. Low Luv by Erin Wasson necklace; Herve Lger by Max Azria boots.)

ZIP IT UP - Now your leggings can make you look like you’ve just come off the set of a S&M film.  I’m really in love with this look so if any of you indies are rocking this, please send picts to saynt@fashionindie so that we can share it on the site. (On the model -  Brains on Fire’s cotton T-shirt and Superfine’s cotton and elastane jeans. Ksubi sunglasses; Don the Verb scarf; CC Skye clutch.)

LEATHER LOVERS – I can’t get over how awesome this looks. I’ve never been a fan of leather chaps on women, but in leggings form the cowhide creates a look that is purely lux. (On the model - Miss Sixty’s cotton blazer, Mark and Estel’s cotton T-shirt and Blue Notch’s cotton and polyester leggings. Body chain from Low Luv by Erin Wasson; clutch from The Jack Rabbit Collection; Silpada ring.)
