There's been a lot of internet talk about the style phenomenon of "meggings" lately: What are they? Where did they come from? Are they happening to your children? Though not necessarily a new trend - The Cut first wrote about them three years ago, but recently revisited the topic - they are indeed a divisive one. I, as you can see, decided to jump onboard this bandwagon and ride it to its post-metrosexual end - but first, I had to find a suitable pair of leggings. My adventure began at OAK, a great place to begin any journey for which the desired end lies distinctly over the sartorial rainbow. I asked one of the meggings-clad associates where I might procure my own pair and wound up at American Apparel, copping the brand's winter leggings...technically for women, but also for me. My references for wearing these babies (and what sparked my interest in them in the first place) came from the stylings of Robert Geller and Givenchy:
I borrowed my friend Michael's F/W'11 Gareth Pugh top for a day (you can see the runway version on a ladymodel here.) Five percent spandex, for the win! This has nothing to do with meggings, I just wanted to share that life event with you all. Happy Monday!
