Maybe This Leggings Thing Is Nearly Over


Any time cargo pockets are attached to an article of clothing, you know it's popularity is very close to ending. Much to my hilarious dismay then to see this ad in the Times a few days ago. Cargo leggings? Who designed these? Who at Bloomingdale's think it's a good idea to stock them? Who would think, Yes, let's attach these clunky, unattractive cargo pockets to leggings whose whole point is to be sleek and curvy? Who would want to wear them? In fact, the cargo pockets are so egregiously ill-chosen, you almost don't notice the replica ribbed socks at the leggings' bottom!

It's been a good run while it lasted, leggings.
