Spring fashion update

It was spring a few weeks ago, and I think it might be spring again, which luckily means a slight change in the fashions seen on the streets. And like with other times of the year, it's a bit scary. What has struck me the most is the sheer strength behind the army of the leggings. While some people are, is seen in the winter months, still wearing them under short denim skirts, most have seemed to toss aside these denim monstrosities for a freer look. Luckily for most this entails really long shirts or short dresses, with leggings either at ankle or capri length. But of course, there are quite a few exceptions to this and quite often things still manage to go wrong.

The first error people seem to make is to wear shirts that are too short with leggings. I think the key style factor here is that the top must reach the top of the thigh. If you can see your tush in stretch pants, you best be at the gym. Not out for a night on the town.

The second, perhaps more disturbing, thing that I've noticed is that some people seem to have leggings that are black, yet a little see-through. I will not go into detail, but if paired with a shirt that's a bit too short, you just want to shake your head and tell the person to go home and try again.

And for the record, I'm not about to go and buy leggings. Especially the ankle length ones because then everyone ends up with clown feet.
