Worn initially by dancers supposedly to keep their legs from cramping, it became fashionable in the 1980's following the popularity of two epic movies of the era being 'Fame and Flashdance.'
It became an easy add-on to 'dress up' especially with the teenagers. Now they are nothing more than socks with the ends sniped off ):
It didn't take long for people to realize that it served no purpose for the occasional used and the craze died off - but what has that to do with fashion anyway.
Surprisingly, they are still popular with some people to this day but if you plan on attending an eighties party, or know someone who is going to one, a pair of these and a mini skirt are the easiest to add on to fit in.
As the image shows, these come in neon blue but you will find leg warmers in other colors as well at Amazon.
I like the ideas this girls comes with. Do watch the video.
