Spotted on the likes of Bella Hadid and Doja Cat, it’s safe to say that leg warmers are the latest it-girl-approved accessory. While we’ve seen the rise and imminent fall of many other decade defining fashion trends- think flannel shirts from the 90s and micro minis from the 2000s- 2023 is seeing a full fledged 80s renaissance.

Late last year, Bella Hadid stepped out in NYC wearing a casual denim dress, ballet flats, and you guessed it- leg warmers. Braving the chilly east coast weather with a jacket in-hand, Bella proves that leg warmers are a great way to stay both stylish and warm. With their roots extending back to dance wear in the early 80s, leg warmers originated as accessories to keep dancers warm in chilly studios. Eventually going mainstream, the trend saw immense popularity among the women of the 80s, who often opted for flamboyant colors that were typical of the decade (hello neon). Fast forward to 2023, and it’s no surprise that we’ve seen a more subdued resurrection of this practical trend during the age of ballet core. Often paired with slinky skirts, tight bodices, and everyone’s favorite Ugg minis, leg warmers are quickly regaining wardrobe staple status. 

If one of your 2023 resolutions is to twin with timeless style icons like Madonna and Lady Di, then you’ve come to the right place. Just in time to combat that pesky mid-winter chill, shop these totally tubular leg warmers.
