(the movie, not the singer) I'm thinking with clunky boots and an Allsaints type tunic or oversized sweater, they might be cozy-MOTG, but I could be wrong, as I often am! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-leggings-yay-or-nay#post-451335 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 23:46:44 +0000 Jonesy 451335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not really keen on them, but I couldn't articulate why exactly...Maybe they remind me of some distant era that I can't quite put my finger on? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-leggings-yay-or-nay#post-451281 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 22:58:11 +0000 Anonymous 451281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, they do look like skinnies on the model because they aren't stuck to her ankles...and she doesn't have her bum covered. I'd have to see them IRL. After I got out of knit maternity pants I swore I'd never leave the house in pants that didn't button and zip. Ooops, I forgot about my yoga pants...but they're just for exercising....right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-leggings-yay-or-nay#post-451264 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 22:21:20 +0000 krishnidoux 451264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote nay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-leggings-yay-or-nay#post-451260 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 22:20:07 +0000 catgirl 451260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nakidra, it's a joke between my paralegal and me - he's a guy my age, and he's from Alaska and is this close to being a redneck, but feels free to give me (bad) fashion advice. It is a little like a Seinfeld episode. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-leggings-yay-or-nay#post-451258 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 22:18:22 +0000 catgirl 451258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rita, I'm not considering these specifically, just posting to give people an idea of what I mean by velvet leggings. </p> <p>I agree lint could be an issue, but it's an issue with almost everything I wear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-leggings-yay-or-nay#post-451219 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 21:06:59 +0000 rachylou 451219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look so cute in the pic, but I feel very suspicious they will look like long johns in real life. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-leggings-yay-or-nay#post-451218 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 21:05:06 +0000 Deborah 451218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I have a pair of black velvet leggings. Bought them about 2 years ago and I love them. I wear them in winter often with a black satin tunic. I love the contrast of fabrics. I have had a number of women stop me when I'm out to comment and ask where I got them....its a definite yes from me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-leggings-yay-or-nay#post-451208 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 20:56:09 +0000 modgrl 451208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>7 1/4" rise?! That is ridic. I wore these in the 90's too, and some version comes out every year around xmas time. If you are committed to velvet pants, I would hold out for a pair that is cut for adults. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-leggings-yay-or-nay#post-451192 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 20:37:05 +0000 Anonymous 451192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say put a lint roller in every handbag and BBQ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-leggings-yay-or-nay#post-451190 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 20:33:42 +0000 Inge 451190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How would you wear them this time around, Una?</p> <p>I'm not sure. For me they have a bit of a loungewear vibe, but that definitely means they'd be comfortable:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-leggings-yay-or-nay#post-451183 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 20:23:21 +0000 HelenInCanada 451183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those look soooo comfy and a step above regular 'ol cotton stretch leggings. I'd buy them and wear them constantly - just perfect for sweaters and tunics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-leggings-yay-or-nay#post-451181 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 20:21:42 +0000 rae 451181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them on the model, but then her legs are so slim they look more like cigarette pants on her. I think if they were skin tight like most leggings I wouldn't be as into it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-leggings-yay-or-nay#post-451170 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 20:04:42 +0000 Anonymous 451170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pair - not the shiny crushed velvet, but a deep matte black, and I don't think they're outdated or tacky.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-leggings-yay-or-nay#post-451166 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 19:52:16 +0000 Nakidra 451166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay!! I like these and can totally see you rock these!<br /> BTW... when you get a chance, can you please explain the Redneck Paralegal thing to me?! It CRACKS me up everytime I read it. It's like a Seinfeld epidode! We do the same thing, have different names for certain people. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-leggings-yay-or-nay#post-451161 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 19:42:16 +0000 Mo 451161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mmm, velvet.

If I took that into consideration, I'd spend most of my days in the nude! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-leggings-yay-or-nay#post-451137 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 18:57:07 +0000 Claudia 451137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, You have a light furred, very hairy dog: I wouldn't go there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/velvet-leggings-yay-or-nay#post-451135 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 18:55:41 +0000 catgirl 451135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm thinking these would be a fun and warm alternative to skinnies in winter, but are they too 90s? I remember wearing them back then, from the Limited or Express...</p> <p>For example:</p> <p><a href="http://www.cusp.com/shoponline/product.aspx?folderId=/shoponline/apparel/pants&#038;itemId=T3VU1&#038;ecid=CUALRJ84DHJLQkR4&#038;ci_src=14110925&#038;ci_sku=T3VU1" rel="nofollow">http://www.cusp.com/shoponline....._sku=T3VU1</a> </p>
