Keep your pants on

I'm prepared to say please, if necessary.

Hot on the heels of all those over-sexed Hallowe'en costumes (no, I can't sit down in this skirt), comes the NYT plaintive "Isn't Anyone in this Town Wearing Pants?"

While there may be moments for this look (not to mention perhaps one in twenty pair of legs), leggings without a skirt are hardly appropriate for ... anywhere outside your exercise facility. And you know it just reminds you of the first iteration of the stirrup-pant/ leggings fiasco of 1985.

Sometimes, being on the "cutting edge" of fashion just leaves you with scars. Not to mention embarrassing photos.
