That is very good to know. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shiny-leggings#post-1436247 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 02:25:28 +0000 Sal 1436247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not much of a leggings person but I prefer a shine on them. &nbsp;It often means they wear better too in my experience. &nbsp;And matte ones can grey more easily. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shiny-leggings#post-1436243 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 02:12:12 +0000 Dee 1436243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah, I didn't mean to imply that you could only like one kind of legging or the other! But I can see sleek boots adding a lot of visual interest for plainer leggings and you have some great options.</p> <p>Janet, as a pear I share your concerns about thigh emphasis but agree that I don't worry about it too much with the EF leggings.</p> <p>Thanks KL! I'm just glad I'm not the only one who likes that vibe.</p> <p>Joyce, the seasonality is an interesting point. I wonder if I will find the sheen as appealing in the spring as I do right now? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shiny-leggings#post-1436228 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 01:57:29 +0000 Joyce B 1436228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also have them and the slight sheen looks very nice in the Winter, it makes the skirted leggings look " happier". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shiny-leggings#post-1436214 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 01:43:07 +0000 Kristin L 1436214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think shiny leggings have a different vibe than matte leggings as well. I don't have any suggestions for brands, though. Hopefully someone will share a few. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shiny-leggings#post-1436212 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 01:41:32 +0000 Janet 1436212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have issues with shiny material on my legs (nothing seems to emphasize thick thighs quite like something shiny), but I think the sheen on the EF leggings is quite subtle. It doesn't bother me. Now, if they were a bit more shiny, it would have bothered me and I probably wouldn't have kept them. So apparently I find a certain small amount of sheen acceptable, but out and out shiny leggings would not be for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shiny-leggings#post-1436208 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 01:36:45 +0000 Deborah 1436208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love a hint of sheen on a legging, but I also like really black matte jersey leggings too.&nbsp; When wearing a matte black leggings I often like to wear a really sleek black ankle boot.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shiny-leggings#post-1436181 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 00:56:14 +0000 Dee 1436181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've noticed a few people in the recent skirted leggings threads posting that they dislike the EF skirted leggings in particular because they have a have bit of a sheen to them. </p> <p>I own the skirted leggings and actually quite like the fabric. I feel like it makes them seem a little dressier (for leggings, anyway!) and better able to stand on their own. Today I wore an old pair of plain old black leggings under a dress and felt decidedly un-fab in them. </p> <p>So, I was wondering if anyone else appreciates shiny leggings ("Yay"), or if everyone hates them ("Nay"), and your thoughts on why.</p> <p>And for those who do approve, assuming I am not the only one, suggestions for other non-plain leggings brands/styles are appreciated. Thanks! </p>
