Are leggings pants?

I see them at the local high school, down the street and at the shops. Leggings!

Some times they look great and other times you wonder why? So what makes the difference? Is it how thick they are or what you wear with them? When did activewear become regular clothes that are ok in public?

To be honest I think leggings are perfect on stage for dance costumes and fancy dress costumes, or for the gym or dance class. The world of dance and performing is so different from regular life and a whole different set of rules apply anyway, from makeup to hairstyles and more.

They are comfortable and versatile and great when doing aerials and walkovers and tumbling routines at circus, or rehearsing routines at dance class. They give you freedom of movement and warmth in cooler months.

At Firefly I sell lots of leggings, some with stirrups and some without. We have plain ones and patterned and metallics too. They look brilliant when used to create a costume for on stage and with so many colours to choose from it’s not hard to find something you will love, particularly with our two new patterned ranges which have matching crop tops, leotards, shorts and pants. So if you perform, take a look at what we have and try adding leggings to your next look.
