Believe it or not, i have several pairs of leggings from the 80's when they went with the big/long sweaters, and they are finally wearing out! I loved them and they were really inexpensive, but thick enough to keep warm.

Now, i am finding they are running more than $20 a pair and i think that is a little pricey (or i am still living in the past.) Any idea where to get them in different colors, good quality (not too thin) and a good price?

Thanks!

I've seen them in Target, they're usually not too expensive.

I don't think $20 or so is too bad, considering today's leggings have lycra and seem to fit better than the ones from the 80's (or am i just in better shape)?

Target, tons of them!!!

here is something neat (did a google search for "leggings"):

Ah, show skating!!! I do it for the glitter!

Here's an idea, do you have 2nd hand stores around, and stores that sell all kinds of unused junk that spent a decade being stored somewhere?
I got my 2 pair of leggins from the last type for 1 euro a piece.

I was just out doing post Christmas shopping and found that Sears has a motherload of leggings, all under $30 for the most part.
I may buy a new pair with a coordinating tee as a practice outfit for Easterns in March.

good timing - leggings seem to be back in style! I'm not sure about where to find inexpensive ones though. Everytime I see them, I picture myself with poufed bangs and a gigantic sweater...can't make myself buy a pair now

don't forget the WIDE BELT and the ripped sweatshirt!!!!!

I'm fairly lucky that I can sew, they are so easy to make, it's just finding the time and fabric (all mailorder because our stores here suck). Yeah, so I've sewn NONE!!!! although I did buy a few pair last year from vic secret & boston proper when they hit clearance (they are the only ones that carry LONGS).

You guys are a hoot! Yes, i still remember that 80's look, but now the sweaters are back with the leggings again, and i think the sweaters this time around are way cuter!

I found some for $18 in JCPenny catalog, have to find out if the quality is good. Several choices of colors, though. I guess my mind for pricing is still in the 80's, too! haha

If you can fit into kids sizes I got some Circo leggings at Target on sale for under $4.

I'm going back for more- they are GREAT for skating.

Although the legwarmers are adorable, it is the leggings i am looking for (like footless tights, but nice and warm, and smooth.
