Perhaps it is because "girls just wanna have fun" or as with all fashion trends, they eventually return... leg warmers are making a resurgence! Although my peers and I have never seen leg warmers worn outside of a ballet studio, they seem to be making a comeback as many other things from the 80's are at this time! I had never even thought to knit a leg warmer until it began being requested, so viola! here they are. This page is just samples of popular iconic symbols from the 80's from popular movies or advertisements of that time, but just as with the other items, these can be made with any color and I can even do multi colors! If you're getting your Flashdance outfit ready, don't forget your leg warmers!
Tips on How to Wear Leg Warmers
- If you are planning to wear heels over leg warmers, then it is best to carry them with denim. It enhances the class of the whole attire. Ensure that they cover the top of the shoes in the way that only heels and toes are visible.
- For the punk look, wear the leg warmers with a nice pair of boots. Pairing them with a ripped jeans and vest will make you sexier. Push the legwarmers towards the ankle and make sure that only heel of the shoes and your toes are visible.
- If you are getting ready for a happening party, then wear the leg warmers with a good pair of leggings. Ballet shoes will look awesome on this look.
- For an androgynous look, wear the leg warmers with skinny jeans. Team them up with sneakers for a perfect look.
- If you are wearing leg warmers on a pair of jeans, then you can go for the classy look. Wear the sweater of same color as the leg warmer. Put slip on-heels on them in a way that the bottom of the leg warmer covers the top of your shoes.
- To give a grunge look, wear the leg warmers with hiking boots and ripped jeans. Team it up with a rumpled shirt with a vest. You can add an extra charm to the look with denim jacket. Push your leg warmers as far towards the ankles as they go. The leg warmer must be positioned just at the top of the boots.
- To give the popular classic look of 80Æs, wear the leg warmers with a pair of spandex pants. Team it up with an oversized menÆs shirt. Couple the whole look with a classy belt at the waist. Mix and match the colors for a perfect look.
- If you are planning to wear mini/short dress, then wear the leg warmers as a thigh high look. Do not wear high heels on this attire. Go for a beautiful pair of flats or small heel shoes. Stretch your legwarmers past your knees and let the bottom of the warmer rest just below the ankles.
- You can also put on two pairs of leg warmer complimenting each other. Also, get the whole layered look by wearing stretch pants and a mini skirt. Do not go for multi colors. Instead, stick to one single theme of colors. Scrunch up to your desired length.
