tight black leggings and big foofy boots

otm, those are a plague

The worst.

I know I've had a huge crush on at least one woman who carried one but I can't place her and the bag was definitely not central.

haha i love you guys

hah actually i don't really care one way or the other about the longchamp - i had mistakenly thought this thread was about chronicling trends

totally at least partially is!

and also this bag totally is carried by a high % of leggings/foof-combo wearers

THIS THREAD IS FOR VERY SPECIFIC IMPORTANT TRENDS WHICH INVOLVE TIGHT BLACK LEGGINGS OK

A high % of the legging and boot wearing longchamp carriers also wear pearl earrings ime.

pearl earrings and this other stuff are v much sorority signifiers i guess (perhaps obv)

I def see the bag, the tights and the boots together frequently. But those bags seem very "summer" to me so cross post with IA thread pls

this is gonna be one of those things i've never noticed but will now see everywhere, right

It's a rare day that I see less than 10

They come in different colors, sizes, there's this knockoff by a brand called baby drake or something idk

I think the appeal is in the customizeability + it's unostentatious

Longchamps are one rung about Vera Bradley imo. Would not be inherently objectionable if they weren't sagging under the weight of so much signifying.

Me and my friend made a pyramid of women's bags once. but we didn't fit in either vera bradley or longchamp, how do they relate vis-a-vis coach? that was the base

WELL I think the idea behind Longchamps is that they're v light and crushable? Possibly they were intended as like carry-on bags or things you can pack flat in case you need more storage later. This may also be a gloss they've put on their history, but basically they're supposed to be minimalist and utilitarian. I kind of like the GIANT ones because the scale is ridiculous, you could never lift a bag that big wiht those little handles, clearly that is what servants do.

I mean that partic "cheap" model, obv their major business is in luxury leather goods and that nylon style is their lowest level--on par with the Coach fabric logo-print bags.

The smallest ones are $125 which is just lol because what are they made out of vylon?

errr nylon

Yeah.

and I only first heard of this brand 3 hours ago! big day for me!

less bags, more foof

i fear the narrow black/brown riding-boot thing has completely won out

Every other girl on the campus I work at sports this look.
It tears me apart inside cuz on the one hand, slovenly, on the other, ass.

I work next to a school and can confirm leggings/tights and brown riding boots appears to be the uniform for teachers this year.

Back up there aldo. The teachers are just wearing leggings or they're wearing them under a skirt or something?

Just wearing leggings - long-ish tops to cover their modesty (almost). Malvern is a classy place.

Oh my friends live in Malvern (unless there's more than one?) it's lovely!

Or maybe Malvern Hills?

I saw the worst example of this morning. A young woman was walking around in the thinnest oldest leggings I've ever seen (with a short top/jacket) and she had, well, an extremely large and, um, interestingly shaped behind and the material was stretched so thin that you could pretty much see all of her naked ass cheeks AND HER CRACK. It was not good, it was not good at all. I know that this is not a popular opinion with some people who would say that you should wear whatever the fuck you want to wear regardless of whether or not it looks good on you but I still think there's something to be said for knowing what enhances or flatters your figure and anyway OLD STRETCHED THIN MATERIAL THAT IS PRETTY MUCH NOT COVERING SHIT IS NEVER A GOOD LOOK. It was so bad people were staring. Where are this girl's friends? Someone needs to pull her aside and give her some real talk imo. It was that bad. She was also wearing Uggs.

I SAW STRANGER CRACK BEFORE 9:00 am. I was not prepared for this tbh. I think I have PTSD.

PCSD though I think.

Yeah, maybe that's it. It was bad.

no undies? sounds horrid!

Nope. No an undie in sight.

that's a whole lot of words before you drop the uggs into it

Well, obviously The Uggs were not the main issue here but I felt the need to point out that they were part of the ensemble so as not to deviate too far from the original topic at hand.

i'm not so sure this phenomenon is really such a great aesthetic crime in the general instance, but insofar as the asscrack-hugging rizla thin leggings were a faux pas, adding the uggs is like the eichmann prosecutors finishing off with 'and he also kicked a kitten twice', not the most heinous of the crimes but it sort of contextualizes everything else

Yes.

also "rizla thin leggings" a+

'too sheer'

riding boots & tight jeans paired with a natty blazer cant ever get old

that is definitely more of a look this year than the leggings

I'd make fun of riding boots that have never seen the side of a barn before but I wear motorcycle boots so I probably shouldn't throw hay.

Well, it's the same thing with people who wear Uggs here in Los Angeles.

I mean, I hope your feet aren't drenched in sweat from all the heat.

But I wear flip flops all year round here, so each to his own, I guess.

otm
it comes and goes, but never feels wrong

although i don't really know what everyone is talking about re: "riding boots"
there are lots of different types of horse riding boots, no?

There are but I think they're using it to mean tall calf length leather boots like so?

Or things similar to that.

yeah, I don't think we're talking about that xxp

I honestly just searched google/zappos for "riding boot" and determined that it was a reference I understood, which it was.

ENBB otm

i can't imagine anything bad to say about those boots
