Forget fashion practicality in the 1980s leg warmers were awful and the only grace is it’s hilarious looking back at them 30 years on.

Did you wear leg warmers, or even remember the eighties when you had several pairs in your wardrobe? Let us know your memories below.

  1. I remember having blue woolen leg warmers with little black dogs on them when I was 4 years old. I even have pictures of me wearing them!!

  2. Don’t laugh but I’m looking for leg warmers for my 100 year old Mom. She will only wear dresses and her legs get cold in the winter time even though she has a blanket/throw over her legs.
    I can’t find them locally so will probably order some soon.
