Metallic Leggings

[gabi1129]

... so after seein Eve's "Tambourine" video everywhere, i was wondering if metallic leggings are hot or not. today i went to a few stores and they have them! So what is a boy to do. Id wear them when i drag. however i dont know if it'll be cute, or will i just look weird?

please be honest and tell me your opinions on these.

this one is from wet seal

hmm they look kinda neat but personally im not really a fan of them.
they look way fun though..
if you like them i say go for it!

Personally I think they are ugly, and I usually like leggings.

I'm not a fan, they look tacky to me imho

IMO, metallic leggings can look very tacky. It depends on what you pair with it.
I think metallic leggings with heels can be pretty hot.

either you'd have to have kick ass legs with nice muscle definition or...

the only way I can imagine someone pulling them off in an everyday sort of look would be between a skirt and boots, so you can see a bit of the legging but it's not too crazy.

To be honest I dont like them. However, have you seen the metallic flecked leggings? They are divine!

Gosh, everything that is old is new again...I had a pair of those metallic flecked leggings in 8th grade (so, like, 1992)

Leggings, in general, remind me of 7th and 8th grade. My motto for "retro" fashion is, "If you wore a trend when you were a kid don't wear it again".

I think done right they can look very nice, but when not done right you look a little like you're in fifth grade. I think a much better look is metallic hot pants under an almost to short skirt. That way you don't flash around your naughty bits but it's still exciting.

i agree with having the nice legs to pull this off.
they remind me of something M.I.A would wear.

I think they're more suited for clubbing, you know "A Night at the Roxbury" style.

I like how Eve wore hers in the "Tambourin" video!

Check it out, she also features the C-Shock collection in it!


-- Oh whoa you mentioned it already! hahahaha sorry!
