Running leggings
When watching a running race (all the time), you can see that the legs of the runners have started to become increasingly patterned – in some cases, there are whole galaxies whizzing around runners’ legs.
This is not some sort of running leg issue, far from it. Actually these swirling shapes and leopard print legs make me want to wear running attire all the time. Now that’s a sentence. I am easily pleased; I’m talking colourful leggings. I’m sure they not only bring joy to the runner, they are also good for visual awareness of said runners by the non-running public (in a good way) and they probably make a runner run faster*.
Yes, runner – I know that running is about RUNNING. Not about fashion, but some natty leggings will make a smile. And what’s so wrong with running, smiling? Maybe not when hitting The Wall, but hit the wall with a galaxy on your legs? OK, then. That’ll make those race snaps look pretty rad. Plus, they are still technical, these legging. Technical and chic, winning combo.
I’d also, at this point like to draw your attention to the Top 10 Running Fashion Faux Pas, by Runner’s World. There are some tips from the profesh. Runners definitely care about how they look. Toe shoes with socks is scary, so are short shorts. Though I am partial to ‘wild hair’. Obviously, I am not a professional runner. But I do like running and I do like style – so thank you leggings, you have provided both.
