Last year around October '07 a new trend emerged among stars. The lamé legging was donned as the edgy update to the knit legging.
Fast forward to 08 when the look hit the mainstream.
Below are photos taken by myself and loyal reader KB of crimes against leggings. Each of these ladies are prime examples of how NOT to wear the look!
Admittedly, I purchased a pair from American Apparel last year and wore them all of twice. I was sad to see how this trend was interpreted by the masses. Below are three rules anyone thinking of participating in the trend should follow:
Rule 1 Leggings are not a substitute for pants! You must wear a tunic length top or dress for coverage!
Rule 2 Black only! Please stay away from metallic and bright colors!
Rule 3 Ask yourself if this look is age appropriate and right for you? Don't force it!
LC approved Lamé looks
I love this sequin dress with this shinny legging in lame' black. Add a cute patent leather pump and you are set for a night out!
For a more casual look, opt for a tunic or boyfriend cardigan with lame' matte leggings. By taking the shine off, the matte version is a more practical alternative. Adding motorcycle or flat casual boots really brings the look together.

AMEN! I totally agree, please make sure that the shirt is a tunic length shirt. You do not need to have all your business showing or looking like you're trick-or-treating. LOL!
I love the look! Where on earth can I find the sequin top? I have looked everywhere.
