I've noticed a disturbing trend lately.

Having spent a few days in the city lately, I've been taking note of cool outfits on other people for inspiration, and I've noticed something horrible.

Leggings as trousers.

The trend appears to be centred as part of the "uni chic" style - messy bleached hair, ballet flats. Usually this style features tracksuit pants and a baggy hoody, or a spaghetti strap top in the hot weather, but now it appears to have mutated into a long-ish t-shirt or, more commonly, a long shirt, with or without a belt, and leggings.

Or even worse, jeggings. (Leggings designed to look like skin-tight jeans.)


Newsflash ladies: NO ONE WANTS TO SEE YOUR BUTT... OR EVEN WORSE, YOUR CAMEL TOE.


Please stop this right away. Just wear a skirt or jeans, how tricky is that? Did you forget to put your skirt on this morning? I hate you.
