We have roughly six weeks left in 2009 and I've worn skinny jeans only twice -- in fact that was the only time I wore jeans this year. I'm serious. The rest of the year has been spent in leggings (excluding a dress or two). Looking around the streets, stores, nightclubs and restaurants of NYC, I can see I'm not alone. Many fashionistas, have discovered that a legging can give you the same sleek contoured, leggy look as skinny jeans, but they're just so much more comfy!
I've recently made a vow to get back into my jeans for 2010, but with all these varieties in leggings... I'm not so sure.
