Be sure to watch the video. -- the runway models walk by in black contemporary kilts and "meggings". Honest.

Basically it's this look, as sported by mega pop star, Kanye West... except that instead of leather "tights", they're spandex-y tights.



PERSONALLY?

I wore tights when I went cross-county skiing. I have no inherent objection to wearing tights. I wore tights in the late 80's when I was running 25 miles a week. They were warm in the winter. I wore tights in the mid 70's when I was racing bicycles (badly).

But tights on the street? Maybe not. OK, at Lake Tahoe, after skiing, then OK. But otherwise... But you know...OK. Ok, iffin' you really wanna wear tights? yeah? Then wear tights.
But IMHO, "meggings" aka tights, plus a kilt? One or the other, PLEASE.

Please.

That said, didn't King George the something-or-other wear pink tights with a kilt? There's an historical precedent, so it's "traditional", right?
