Leggings go latex

latex leggingsLeggings are here to stay for the time being. Like any other style that has a shelf life of more than a year, it must evolve. The evolutionary chain for leggings is pretty short because they will always just be a really tight bottom. The only factors you can really change are their fabrication and the length. This fall leggings have done just that.

The newest leggings to be seen in are extra long latex leggings. Celebrities like Mischa Barton and the Olsen twins have been spotted around tinsel town wearing these glam rock inspired leggings. Celebrities aren't the only ones either; famous fashion designer/ stylist Patricia Field is selling them on her site as well as online super-retailer Shop Bop.

I have to say, as insane as they look I do like them. These leggings are great for an over-the-top rocker look, as well as tamer more casual look.

I will warn you to please wear with these latex leggings with caution, they aren't for everyone. If you wear them the wrong way you could end up looking like a bad Halloween costume, and no one wants to see you look like that.

The place to buy REAL latex leggings is TheLatexStore.com. They have them in red, too!

They look like they might be waterproof. Good waders for fishing or duck hunting. Now Mama's got one less excuse to gripe about us guys heading for the blind or the creek. She can come along and still look sexy. Do they make them in camo

*LMAO* Oh my GOD! Those are absolutely the fugliest things I have ever seen!!! Even someone with a to die for figure like Eva Longoria or Terry Hatcher would look hideous in those! *LOLOLOLOL* The problem is that you'll probably be seeing them on your 300 pound neighbor/coworker first. *Bleeeeeeeeeeeech*

What about people that are allergic to latex? I now can't worry about who is wearing latex leggings or not. This is ridiculous.

Ew. Leggins are atrocious to begin with, why make them of the most uncomfortable material ever?

I remember the black Spandex back in the 70s and 80s. But LATEX? You probably sweat like a pig in them, and putting them on is probably like a wrestling match! And you'd better have a nice figure, as every single flaw will be accented! Even the mannequin looks fat in that picture above! heehee! I wonder how hard they are to peel OFF??
