Celebrity DIY Style: Leggings

POSTED BY Stacy Schlyer, 27 May 2008

 

 

One of the hottest celebrity garments has to be leggings - you see them on everyone from Paris Hilton to Beyonce. In fact, they've become so popular that Lindsey Lohan announced her own legging line back in March. Now you can skip the basic black style that you see on the racks and sport a trendy pair such as Paris Hilton's stripe or silver lame leggings just by sewing your own.

There are plenty of patterns available to re-create this look for yourself: Burda 7791, Vogue 8401, McCall 5394, and several in the Kwik Sew line 3463, 2797, and 3455. For some fun and unusual fabrics for your new pants, try surfing on online website such as Spandexhouse. [photo via A Socialite's Life, Virgin Media, and D'ana's Dirt]

    Personally, I think the whole legging look needs to be put to bed. Once Lindsay Lohan comes out with a 'line' of anything, I'm done with it.

    Leggings are for those with lovely legs - as someone with somewhat chunky thighs, when I wear these I tend to look like a pro wrestler...
