Leg warmers are definitely back in fashion but can leather leg warmers work? Victoria Beckham seems to think so. She mixed the leg warmer trend and leather trend together for an appearance at the 2011 Apparel and Retail CEO Summit at the Plaza Hotel. She showed off her svelte figure in a strapless navy dress with black mid-section, black leather leg warmers and stiletto heels. She looked stunning considering she only gave birth to her fourth child four months ago.
Victoria was guest speaker at the conference which was held in New York. Apart from her appearance at New York Fashion Week, Victoria has been keeping a low profile of late as she cared for new daughter Harper and presumably worked on getting herself back into shape.
Leg warmers are perfect for the transitional weather, providing an extra layer to keep your ankles cosy whilst be a fashion statement in their own right. Wear them like Victoria with stilettos or tuck them into boots, allowing them to poke out of the top for a casual daytime look. These leg/arm warmers by Falke at net-a-porter are a good investment. In light grey and made with a wool/cashmere mix they will go with anything and everything as well as keeping you warm. Wear them on the arms with a chunky cardigan for a casual cool look.
For a bit more money you can get these 100% merino wool leg warmers from Toast (pictured). Available in a range of soft autumnal colours they will see you right through winter.

However, if you do want to follow Victoria’s lead and work the leather look, 7 For All Mankind have these biker style leather leg warmers which would look awesome teamed with skinny jeans and heels.
