Leg Warmers are no longer just for dancers or the rehearsal room (or for Jane Fonda throwbacks), taking center stage in the wardrobes of hipsters, fashionistas – and comfort lovers alike. They give a retro look and a funky feel to outerwear, give balance to the silhouette of the leg, and look equally good paired with cute party dresses and lounge-around wear.
Here’s a selection of leg warmers that Suicide Girls are putting on – and taking off – this season.
“If I were to pick just one trend of lingerie to highlight, it would be, without question, the vintage sensation,” says SG member and lingerie expert Sauda. “High waisted knickers, longline bras, and basques are in very high demand. Retro and vintage lingerie flatters all body types; less hour-glass figured women get a significant boost from the accentuating fit and seam details, and curvy girls are showcased just as Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield, Sophoia Loren, and Brigitte Bardot were in their prime. ”

2010 was without doubt the year of the striped sock. Stockings were put to bed in favor off these warm and fuzzy alternatives that say you’re sexy without trying unfashionably hard.

TRY: Getting hooked on my shopping addiction – Gilt.com
WHY: They offer items from the most coveted designers, such as Alexander McQueen (yes they REALLY do!), Christian Louboutin, Rock & Republic, and everyday brands like American Apparel and Converse. The best part is that everything is at least 50% to 70% off. Yes, EVERYTHING!
They’re not just moving merchandise from last season that nobody else wants either. I’ve found items two months BEFORE they hit the regular stores. For example, I saw a pair of Henry Duarte for J Brand waxed denim jeans in a magazine and searched everywhere for them before discovering that the $400 leather-look jeans wouldn’t be available for two months. Then I saw them on Gilt for $98! I freaked out and bought a pair immediately. My other fave purchase is my to-die-for black studded, metal spike heeled Rock & Republic boots. They originally cost $498, but I got them for $110.
