That was too harsh. I think seeing the near pornographic ads and this post and the words "bondage chic" were too much for my old grey cells on the same day. I don't see an edit button now to remove the comment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/latex-leggings-done-right-for-real#post-49618 Fri, 13 Feb 2009 18:14:22 +0000 Ariadne 49618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL, Eve! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/latex-leggings-done-right-for-real#post-49545 Fri, 13 Feb 2009 05:21:50 +0000 Alexandra 49545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think she totally rocks the look--go her! Were it me (not that I'm remotely ballsy enough to wear leggings like that, though I wish I was), I'd probably have picked a bright colored belt, or one that looked decidedly girly, to mute the latex a bit. Still, I think she did a good job. It's a daring outfit, and one obviously not worn just anywhere, but that hardly makes it bad or bondage-y (which isn't to say that bondage is bad.. you know what I mean). ;D </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/latex-leggings-done-right-for-real#post-49543 Fri, 13 Feb 2009 05:11:17 +0000 Ariadne 49543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ouch--saying she looks like a prostitute seems a little harsh. The woman is a friend of a friend, and this thread links to my friend's blog which means it'll show up in her referral logs. That means HER friend may end up reading it. Now I'll feel really bad if she does :(</p> <p>Lots of people (especially creative types) enjoy having a hardcore element to their style. I probably should have said rocker-chic, not bondage-chic (although I don't think my friend would mind that description--don't know about her friend) since rockers are pretty fond of their leather pants, which aren't that far off from latex! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/latex-leggings-done-right-for-real#post-49469 Thu, 12 Feb 2009 17:39:28 +0000 Anonymous 49469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with most of the other women in feeling she would have looked better in something besides those leggings. To me she looked like a nice girl dressed up like a prostitute. Does anyone else really want to send a "bondage chic" message?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/latex-leggings-done-right-for-real#post-49349 Wed, 11 Feb 2009 20:29:43 +0000 judy 49349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it, Brianna...it adds some different texture. Thx for another point of view on the latex thing. The other woman's belt buckle reminded me of this blog post I saw the other day... <a href="http://atlantishome.typepad.com/my_weblog/2009/02/diy-jeans.html" rel="nofollow">http://atlantishome.typepad.co.....jeans.html</a> ...she is sporting a similar buckle....and i like her distressed jeans too. I feel they can be done when you have a slim body type and pair it with high quality things, even when one is over a certain age. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/latex-leggings-done-right-for-real#post-49338 Wed, 11 Feb 2009 19:01:10 +0000 Ariadne 49338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There wasn't a theme for the party. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/latex-leggings-done-right-for-real#post-49285 Wed, 11 Feb 2009 12:41:08 +0000 Ana 49285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Was bondage the theme of the party? I was looking at what her friend was wearing, and it seemed to be a theme.</p> <p>The occasion, the apparent theme of the party make the outfit okay. I'm with Maya, though--I think I would have liked to see coated denim, or else a different belt. Her belt looks like it's made of the same stuff as the leggings. Plus, I'm not sure if I like the boots with the outfit, because they are so similar. I don't know, to me it all looks very leathery, with a white shirt thrown in. I guess I'm just not a fan of the look in general, but this girl definitely does it much better than I've seen most other people wear it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/latex-leggings-done-right-for-real#post-49260 Wed, 11 Feb 2009 05:04:24 +0000 Ariadne 49260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think that black or denim skinnies would give the look the same edge. They'd look good, but the daring, artsy, hardcore edge would be lost. The unique sheen of the latex really sets it off, IMHO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/latex-leggings-done-right-for-real#post-49254 Wed, 11 Feb 2009 03:55:05 +0000 Maya 49254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know what I would have preferred? A pair of black skinnies in coated denim. It would give the festive sparkle and sheen without being so...bondagey. Maybe I'm more conservative than I had thought. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/latex-leggings-done-right-for-real#post-49232 Wed, 11 Feb 2009 01:11:19 +0000 Elika 49232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Nicole and Maya. She looks great (artsy and appropriate for the occasion), but to me she could look even better, like with a nice pair of skinnies or funky patterned non-rubber leggings.</p> <p>The look in general just doesn't do it for me. And it doesn't help that here in Paris I get to see it worn horribly almost every day... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/latex-leggings-done-right-for-real#post-49227 Wed, 11 Feb 2009 00:40:38 +0000 Nicole 49227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Maya 100%. She looks good, but she would look good in anything. Something about latex leggings just does not sit well with me. She would look better in a pair of skinny jeans. I guess that's it for me--why wear rubber pants when you can wear jeans? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/latex-leggings-done-right-for-real#post-49222 Wed, 11 Feb 2009 00:32:38 +0000 Violet 49222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for posting this. I think she pulls it off and it is definitely appropriate for the occasion. I love the wide black belt with the white shirt. I agree with Maya, she looks like a model! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/latex-leggings-done-right-for-real#post-49218 Wed, 11 Feb 2009 00:28:25 +0000 Maya 49218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think she looks perfectly tasteful and appropriate for the occasion.</p> <p>I also think she looks like a model and could probably wrap herself in a rubber suit and still look great.</p> <p>That said, I still don't like the look. Skin tight latex just sends the wrong message to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/latex-leggings-done-right-for-real#post-49190 Tue, 10 Feb 2009 22:14:38 +0000 Ariadne 49190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ITA, Bella! The occasion is key. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/latex-leggings-done-right-for-real#post-49188 Tue, 10 Feb 2009 22:12:30 +0000 bella 49188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I think it works. But I think one can add one important element to the reasons why this outfit works: It is occasion-appropriate. She is wearing it to a New Year's Eve party. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/latex-leggings-done-right-for-real#post-49184 Tue, 10 Feb 2009 22:09:15 +0000 Rosie 49184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>She looks chic, not tarty or space-age. I think you are right about the elements that make it work. Also, just boots in general as opposed to heels of some sort keep the latex shine to a minimum. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/latex-leggings-done-right-for-real#post-49181 Tue, 10 Feb 2009 22:05:35 +0000 Anonymous 49181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes she does look great the way she has done the latex leggings.<br /> The only time I have seen them on someone it was with high heels and a lacy black tunic that had a dropped waist. It almost worked but not quite. I think it is best to have the bum totally covered when wearing these type of pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/latex-leggings-done-right-for-real#post-49174 Tue, 10 Feb 2009 21:34:47 +0000 Ariadne 49174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Remembe Angie's blog post about liquid/latex leggings a while back? I was pretty sure there was a way to wear them well, and one of my friends from school proved me right on her blog. I meant to post this a while ago, actually--the post is about New Year's Eve!--but I forgot until now. Anyway, go to this post: </p> <p><a href="http://theongoingproject.blogspot.com/2009/01/new-years.html" rel="nofollow">http://theongoingproject.blogs.....years.html</a></p> <p>and scroll down to the third picture. The girl is wearing latex leggings with a white button-down tunic shirt, a wide black obi-style matte belt, and grey/black booties. I think it's a completely gorgeous outfit--artsy, surprisingly simple, just the right amount of edgy bondage-chic. I'd wear it in a heartbeat if I had the body for it. </p> <p>I think there are two key elements here that make the look work:<br /> 1) the simple, clean, conservative, classic element of the crisp white button-down tunic, which is echoed in the wearer's simple, classic bob hairstyle, and<br /> 2) the mix of different finishes on the leather--the matte belt, the shiny leggings, and the half-matte, half-shiny boots.</p> <p>What do you think? </p>
