Besides their original use for warming up the lower leg for those involved in dancing, the leggings first appeared as a fashion item associated with the aerobics trend of the 1980s and later made a guest appearance around the turn of the millennium.

As mentioned, the current incarnation is connected to the ballet-core story, #balletcore, where you can find the ballerina shoes and bodysuits that have become one of the most useful wardrobe staples in recent years.
In addition, the leggings are also associated with the K2Y trend, mainly due to their adoption by the leading poster girls

and
Billie Eilish

And if we already mentioned in the same sentence the combination of the words trend plus K2Y, it is impossible not to refer to the TikTok network.
Not only does the hashtag #legwarmers have millions of views, but many users demonstrate how they make their own leg warmers by cutting off sweatshirt sleeves.

On the Instagram platform, the reference of the influencers to the matter of leggings is less of the home improvisation genre and more related to the package deal of the ballerinas on behalf of the fashion houses Prada and its days.

From a local point of view held by those who experience the winter here in Israel, it is easy to rise above the crowd of people who adopt leggings and accuse them of a variety of dubious derogatory terms.
But after you try to leave the house in the cold of zero degrees there is a situation where your opinion will change in an instant.
