    WDYT- Is the leggings look dated?

    I am wondering if the leggings look with tunic/big top etc a daggy look? I know some pple still do it, but cannot find any leggings in the places i usually go, so wasn't sure. I have some long, short sleeve tops that could be warn with just below the knee summer leggings but don't want to be a dag! What do you think?
    EDT- I am not pregnant!

    this is the look I am going for this pregnancy, hope I am not looking daggy! It is kind of the most comfortable thing for me to wear at the moment.

    I know raising dancers, I know! But I am trying to accept that being image conscious (to a degree) is just how I am..
    I loved the leggings, big top look during pregnancy but was not sure if it was a great non-maternity look?
    I can't even find summer colour, 3/4 length anywhere online!

    Try ezibuy, they had some lovely shirts. Personally, I think we've gone right back to 1994 again LOL.

    Pfft, if wearing leggings is wrong, I don't wanna be right Really helpful to me because I love wearing dresses but prefer to keep them short (I hate things flapping around my knees itms), but then I have the dilemma of wrangling small kids and knowing the whole world has no desire to see my backside, so a pair of knee-length leggings in summer, or full-length in winter, sorts that out right quick
    I think some trends come and go, but in all honesty, I think the tunic/leggings combo is going to be around for a while because it's so versatile and can be switched up and down a lot from season to season (different colours, fabrics, lengths etc to make it look 'new'), so I say go for it!!

    I am the queen of that look! It started in pregnancy and since having DS I haven't been able to get away from it. They are just so damn comfy, especially when you're looking after a bub/toddler all day. Sometimes I'll just wear them with runners, other times I'll put on some cute flats and a nice cardy or little dress and dress them up a bit. I always get mine from Cotton On, 2 pairs for $20 - pretty good value if you ask me.

    Phew.....thank goodness I am not alone, lol! Leggings here are the 'going out' version of trackies. Hmm that is a bit sad!!! Target, Kmart and also my local chemist have some good ones. Try TSL/Big W for bonds too - they as so comfy and soft.

    I saw a pic of an interview with a model today, in The Age online, and she was wearing leggings/opaque tights with a dress. So I'd say not? As we get into spring it might be more floaty floral things with leggings/tights rather than tshirts, but maybe it's still tshirts too. No idea.

    Oh Phew! I clicked on this thread with absolute dread. My entire wardrobe at the moment consists of leggings... Eek! Was planning on moving to summer dresses soon though, but keeping some leggings as back up! They are far to easy and comfy to give up on yet
