i have to say that if i were going to wear leggings this fall (and that is, by the way, a freaking huge "if"), these would be the ones. by free people, one of my new favorite brands, the ankle detail gives them something to make them look less like, well, leggings. and, it gives people something to direct their eyes toward (other than your backside). they just seem a little more refined to me, somehow. and while i still wouldn't be caught dead (trust me, i'm protecting the public at large, not just being a snob - me in skintight pants is not a good thing), it is, at long last, a leggings purchase i could support if someone did want to partake. plus, they're only $42 which, from what i've seen of the leggings world thus far, is pretty darn reasonable.
