Legwarmers, for those of you who weren’t born yet in 1984, were a staple of trendy fashion. They had a bit longer shelf life than other trends of the 80s, which is probably why they were recently resurrected. (see pics below)
Rule #1: They had to match your over-sized sweater.
Rule #2: They had to be layered. If you wore just one set of legwarmers, you were poor.
Rule #2 1/2: They had to be scrunched down, not pulled up to your knees. That look was for dancers, not trendy kids.
Rule #3: You had to tuck your acid-wash jeans neatly inside the warmers, and they had to cover only a bit of your Reeboks. Or Nikes. Or Balloons.
Rule #4: Even if they made you sweat to death, you had to wear them.
Old skool. New skool.

If they came back the way they were in the 80’s it wouldnt fly. They way they’re worn now, over the heels or with ballets that’s cute. Not so cute with sneakers
