# Dear Fashion Kitty: the Skinny on Leggings ...

I'm embracing the whole tunic thing this fall -- went a little nuts at Calypso on some great cashmere knits this weekend. But I'm having a hard time finding any decent leggings.

What's the deal -- were leggings a springtime thing?

I prefer the sleek stretchy spandexy ones over American Apparel's cotton stiffies. I saw some knit ones from DKNY and Aqua over the weekend, but nothing to write home about. Where should i look for chic, sassy, shapely leggings in a fall palette (greys, plums, navy, black, browns, etc...)

Also, can you confirm or diss my fall fashion uniform concept: knit tunic, leggings, tall badass boots, and some kind of OTT scarf. And possibly a duster coat, too.

Thanks!

Leggings are still in and will be for quite sometime, plus they are comfortable as hell. I checked out a few sites and the good news is that there is a huge selection and a bunch on sale. Yeah for sales.

Net-a-Porter had tons in different colors, textures, and prints. Some that I really liked were [Gray merino wool fine knit leggings by Iisli](https://goo.gl/5uDfVB). They don't have that spandexy look about them but Iisli makes really great quality stuff and these will be perfect for winter.

These [So Fine Long Leggings sold at OnlyHearts.com](http://www.onlyhearts.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com) come in cream, chocolate, charcoal, and black. They have have a bit of Lycra in them so they keep their shape all day long, at $48 they won't break the bank either.

The blue on [this pair](http://www.shopbop.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com)may be a little brighter than the navy you wanted but the price is right and they have a decent sheen to 'em. Another brand to look for is[James Perse](http://www.thisnext.com/), the price is a tad high ($89 for leggings) but the quality is there ... you might get lucky at a place like Nordstrom Rack.

Any who... I could go all day about leggings. So here is what I leave you: a pretty picture of my favorite leggings and some stores to check out ...
