    Personally, I don't like fleece, so I wouldnt wear them. I do like the shape tho..

    I made myself a pair of furry ones, and have had many people come up to me and ask where I got them from :D

    here's a pic of some similar to mine

    Because if you have read the whole thread you will see that she wants to 'stand out from the people of wakey, not blend in.' And I think the people in wakefield wear trousers.

    Yah, but why not stand out and look nice? :| And I wasn't really referring specifically to her, just generally. I think I'll go out and wear my pants on my head to stand out in a whole new way.

    Stupid fashion. :no:

    They do look nice to some people. Its the same with everythin.

    If you go out and wear pants on your head some people will think its great and looks nice, others will think its ming.

    yup.

    i asked my housemate his opinion on them, and he said if he saw a girl wearing them he'd 'almost certainly want to have sex with them'. which is his way of saying they look really good.

    so girls, if you want to have sex with my housemate, get yourselves some legwarmers. :p

    Yes, I do know this, Lisa. :p

    It's just sometimes fashion and people seem so lame when they like things purely because it's in fashion (not that I'm saying this is what kaffrin is doing).

    Kaffrin isnt doing it anyway because they aint in fashion yet. Well, I havent seen them in New Look or Topshop. :|

    decide for yourself

    he'll kill me for that :lol:

    i'm not talking about the ugly 80s knitted legwarmers. specifically about the flared japanese-style ones. they don't sell them in western shops. you have to make your own or get them off ebay.

    i'm not doing it cause i think it's hip and trendy. it's more an experiement in people's reactions. i want to wear what i want, and not care either about high fashion, or about wakey's version of low fashion. in fact, just my fashion, and how people react.
