The History of Leggings
Originally, leggings were made from leather and designed to protect the skin from thorns and cold. The predecessors of today's leggings were particularly popular among indigenous tribes in North America. In the 80s, leggings were almost omnipresent, worn not only for sports activities like cycling, ballet, or aerobics but also at parties. The hallmark of 80s leggings was the bright colors. From 2006, this trend reappeared in wardrobes everywhere, not just in neon colors but also with leopard prints, camouflage, shimmer effects, and glitter. Variants of leggings include "jeggings" and "treggings". Jeggings are leggings with a denim look, while treggings are a cross between tight pants and classic leggings.
