Fergus leggings with skirt by Mike & Chris, on sale for $138.60 at Shopbop.
This may date me, but when I was in high school Hard Tail pants were insanely popular with the Abercrombie crowd. In the winter months, many of these girls would put their Hard Tail pants underneath their Abercrombie jeans and fold the waistband of the Hard Tail pants over their jeans. In retrospect, it looked like they were all wearing maternity jeans. These bring me back to those days, and not in a good way. Sure, having a skirt built into your leggings prevents the “leggings as pants” mishaps, but at what expense? The leggings are also bunching around the ankles, which makes them look more like flare pants than leggings.
On another legging related note, the designer of these leggings sent me a lovely message assuring me that the leggings were very comfy and the balls actually act as cushioning. That could have done me some good back in my school days, sitting on those hard wood chairs for hours. So, if you like the look and the price is right, they are comfortable.
