Boots and Leg Warmers-a forgotten 70's trend

From "F Comme Fairbanks" 1976 we see a great example of the late 70's leg-warmers and boots look. Considering how popular this look was at my high school, it's a shame it was supplanted by the grossly inferior Flashdance leg-warmers and ballet slippers look a few years later. One of my lasting memories was being at the mall the week after Christmas when I was 15 or 16. It seemed everywhere you looked there were girls trying on boots to wear with their new Christmas legwarmers or vice versa. A Merry Christmas was had by all.

  1. LOVE boots with leg warmers. that's actually made a comeback. You should check out a scent from the old movie "So Fine" (the part of the movie where they show the ad for the jeans). Here's a youtube clip (go to about 2:00): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=io53QMwHZ48

  2. Coming from the web's preeminent authority on how real women are wearing boots, I take this a good news.

    That is a tasty scene. Some how I missed that when I rented the VHS. I remember being really disappointed by that movie, but I might have to revisit it. Thanks
