and just when i thought that i was done with leggings...

2 trends i was a sucker for this fall/winter were leggings and exposed zippers so the other night when i saw a girl wearing turqoise leggings with exposed zippers as you can imagine i was crushing. even though leggings are just about as played out as can be these somehow still looked freshly stylish and more importantly comfortable. naturally i asked her who made them in which she replied "LnA, you need a pair!." turns out LnA makes a variety of colors made of cotton and spandex or nylon and spandex (depending on the color), retail for $99 and are made in the u.s.a. i really have no clue when these came out, does anyone know?

Wow, those are cool! I'm surprised I like them as much as I do.

annabananna said...

I love to look at these, but I just about wear plain black ones!!

Ida said...

Hmmm, I think I saw them like a few months (4-5) ago. Alas, I don't remember where exactly but it was online for sure.
I am just not sure about the color. Perhaps silver - like Kitty says - would be maybe more daytime wearable:)
Wishing you a lovely week!

ack 99$! I like them but I think I would like to try and make them hehe

make them yourselves, or go to the dry cleaners with zippers and have them put them on.Just make sure to get the silver metal zipper part instead of a zipper the same color.
$99 is a total complete rip-off

I love these. I'm really feeling the zipper-ness these days!

kpriss said...

it's a great idea having them put on! spending $100 on a pair of leggings that will most surely fade away from daily fashion (being a trend breathing the last five minutes of celebrity) in few months tops it's not even close to recommended!

Supercalifashionista said...

Those leggings are so fun! I know, I'm trying to stay away from them like Tim Gunn says too, but I can't when I see pairs like these! Good pick!

bear said...

hi kitty kate! no, i havent. ill have to google them. are they great?

thank you for the heads up mickie!

i agree with you mimi and wouldnt rock the hot pink but it was the best picture i found of the leggings which is why i used it. im sort of loving the silver/grey and turquoise.

ash1314, nv and kpriss - you are so right about the price and diy! im going to try and make them this weekend and if they turn out cute ill write up a diy for threadbanger and post a link to it on bia.

thank you for all the great comments!!
