How do you feel about them? McCall’s Pattern of the Week ($2.99 online) gives some trend examples.
McCall's Pattern 6173
I wore them in the late 80′s – early 90′s and I loved them them then with tunic sweaters. I see the younger gals wearing them under skirts and I think that looks cute. I wonder what ages this trend will capture. I’d wear them under my long skirts for extra warmth this winter…..but I am definitely past wearing them with a long sweater 
So what fabric would you make them with? Knits, dah ~ I knew that!

I think I’m game to make some leggings as a replacement for tights. Will you be joining the trend?

I might be able to pull off the leggings under a tailored shirt dress, if it’s not too short. You know that old saying “no mini skirts after 35?” I think the same goes for the leggings. I like the idea of “footless tights” too. I want to make some for my daughter.
OH dear, I’m late to this post! Love the leggings look
And it’s finally mainstream enough to wear them without feeling too edgy or retro 80s
