Velvet leggings remind us of some pants we had when we were toddlers, but we think this trend is amping up again: we’ve seen these luxe leggings pop up in a bunch of collections we love (Alice + Olivia, Bop Basics, and more), and there’s even a $600 pair from Moschino (which, for the record, we do not support).

We’re impressed with this trend, and we're giving it a cautious thumbs-up for now, because, to point out the obvious, leggings are really comfortable, easy to tuck into boots, and go with everything.
To point out the less obvious, velvet is thicker than regular-legging cotton, which means it's more forgiving to slight bumps and bulges, and that your pink thong won't be visible through the fabric when you bend over.
Plus, who doesn’t love running her hands over soft, cushy velvet on a cold winter day? It’s not that weird to sit at brunch with your hands on your thighs, right? No, I know, it’s totally not.
