yay or nay: leggings or tights under ripped jeans?

Diana

It's become too cold lately to wear my ripped up jeans. They have a big hole in the knee, plus they are a thinner denim. Anyway, was wondering what YLF thinks about wearing leggings or tights under ripped jeans? Would this be an interesting look or should it go back to die in the 80's?

Also, what type of leggings/tights? Color or pattern? Sheer or opaque?

I still like the look. I think you could get away with any kind of tights depending on the outfit, but I'd guess sheer or patterned would look more 80s and opaque or thermal leggings would look more 90s.

Sure, if you're cold might as well have fun.

Think opaque, coloured may look more modern than sheer (for sure) and patterned (possibly). Overall, I'm voting yay for layering with tights.

OK, sounds like I can give this a try without looking like a total fashion victim. Don't worry, I will NOT be doing the big fishnets under ripped jeans thing. I think I will try with opaques first. Or maybe my grey leggings with polka dots?

I'm very intrigued by the idea of patterned tights or leggings underneath. I'm thinking, tho, do not do tiger stripe and a pale blue denim jacket. Too Bon Jovi.
