While I loved Jay McCarroll’s entire spring 2007 collection, he sent down a pair of leggings that I cannot stop thinking about… every time I reach for a skirt or flats, they pop into my head.
And I am not into leggings… but these are leggings for a non-leggings girl: the smoked chrome color and the fine trouserlike tailoring with large cuffs and buttons give them so much more definition than flimsy spandex/nylon blend that look like tights hacked off at the calves.
Must I really wait for spring to get them (and then have to chase down Jay’s collection in a boutique in SoHo… please tell me Barney’s Coop picked up his line)?
I don’t think I’m willing to settle for the alternatives, which would just remind me of what I’m missing. So I guess it’s full length tights until next season.
