Psychology and premedical junior Jamie O’Connell models leg warmers.
Just because you aren’t an extra in “Flashdance” doesn’t mean you can’t partake in this season’s most functional accessory — leg warmers.
With winter winds taking a toll on high-heeled females, the sleeve-like material shields skin from the cold. Paired with a pleasant pair of patent Mary Janes, leg warmers can be transformed from a springtime style to a wintertime look. When layered over skinny jeans, the accessories take a modern approach on the 1980s style.
Instead of splurging on leg warmers, which can sometimes cost more than $30, you can do some vintage recruitment in your mom’s attic. If she doesn’t have any leftover leg warmers, cut off the sleeves of an ugly sweater. Voila! Cheap leg warmers, and the convenience of getting rid of a heinous sweater.
