'I'm really excited about leggings,' says Feldman, of ELLE. 'The thing is they're very flattering on most women. I don't think everyone should wear leggings with a crop top,' but with a tunic or a dress, perhaps.

I'm so glad Mr.Feldman thinks leggings are sexy on women. I don't happen to think they are sexy in the least. Another example of the fashion industry trying to tell women whats sexy. Ask the common man what he thinks is sexy. I'll bet you will get some very surprising answers.

Most women don't wear fashion trends to look sexy per se -- women dress for other women, we adorn ourselves for our peers, for social standing. Most men think that high fashion just looks weird and most women know this. If women want to look sexy for men, they develop their own style and that rarely includes high trends. Few, if any, of us would refer to this year's resurgence of leggings as sexy. It's interesting, comfortable, the celebs are doing it ... whatever. But the look has pretty much nothing to do with sexiness.

the story is pretty funny... i love her rule "if you wore it the first time around, you can't wear it the second time." i guess leggings are out for me but skinny jeans are in!
and please, oh please, say no to ankle boots!

YEP yep yep, I agree gals. but the legging is really I think only cute on young (18 & under)
And yeah the second time around comment!
But I have seen some older gals wear the leggings with a longer skirt and it was nice.
I like to watch the style channel and they used to have this show called Fashion Trance? Where they had runway shows, only high fashion and no voice over. I miss that show.

sarahgilbert and Style Editor - agreed. Skinny jeans good, leggings BAAAAAD. Elfin is not often sexy...except if you're Liv Tyler.

Mamasan, I know the show you mean and miss it too. When I was growing up in the UK there was The Clothes Show, which was so good. Straight-up fashion trends, technology, interviews etc rather than all this faux reality drama.
