Designer Label Fashion

Have you been wondering why various celebrities’ legs have become so shiny in the last few months? Either they’ve been channelling Olivia Newton John in the video for “You’re the one that I want” or they’ve been buying up liquid leggings, otherwise known as pvc leggings, metallic leggings or wet look leggings (or indeed, shiny leggings). See below for where to buy designer label liquid leggings and wet look leggings online.

Celebrities including Christina Milian, Lindsey Lohan, Ashley Olsen and Agyness Deyn (well, I suppose it is her job) have all been pictured in shiny, wet-look, or PVC leggings.

Some liquid leggings are plain and let their all round 1980s shininess do the talking, but you can also get liquid or wet look leggings with on-trend detail such as ruching and ankle zips.

How to wear liquid leggings

Not quite a legging, not quite a trouser, liquid leggings are the next step on from skinny jeans (in fact they’re being touted as “the new denim”). Liquid leggings are glamorous enough to indicate that the wearer did actually put some thought into their outfit, and the cellulite-highlighting shiny fabric rather rules out the usual “leggings when I’m too fat for my jeans” option.

Liquid leggings - or wet look leggings - look best with a dress such as a T-shirt dress, or a slouchy print T-shirt, a longer length jacket or a baggy knit on top for some rock chick chic. Shiny leggings are also crying out for ankle boots, or high heels (stiletto heels or chunky heels). Or something gladiatorial such as these red-soled Christian Louboutin strappy heels.
