    Yeah, they're pretty hot. But unless you're a sixe 6/8, don't go near them. I'd say they'd even make a size 10 girl look chunky.

    i have the american apparel ones and you dont have to be that skinny to wear them if you wear with something looser on top they look great

    the shininess gives the same effect as if you put oil on your legs (if that makes any sence) so only the front of your thighs and legs is highlighted

    I'm a 6/8 and I wouldn't go near them! It all depends on the body type tbh. A girl who is a solid 10/12 could pull them off a lot better than I could at a flabby 8. I think it also depends on what shape your lower body is. But even if I had the body shape I wouldn't be brave enough to wear them, so fair play to anyone who will!

    Yeah, you're right there actually. But seeing as I'm neither a flabby 8 or a solid 10, I think I'll exclude myself from this discussion :P

    +1 I'm the same size as you and I wouldn't get away with wearing them either, from my knees down my legs are really skinny making my thighs look HUGE. You can't put a size limit on them, it all depends on the shape of the girl wearing them. Tight fitting clothes often look better on 'chunkier' girls if their body is in proportion.

    Absolutely, exclude yourself! The very skinny models look nice in them, but I think a girl with meat on her bones would really bring the sexy in them! Fergie has thighs and a butt and I think she looks a lot better in them that Kate, or at least sexier.

    Exactly, some things just look better on a curvy woman.

    Keep us updated if anyone sees these in a shop. I'd like to try these before I'd buy them! (although I'd be afraid if I tried them on in a fitting room I woldn;t be able to get them off!)

    they're not actually pvc leather. They just have that look about them. They're actually material. I'd say they'd be quite comfy too.

    I like these leggings but don't think the average jo soap would get away with them - i'm a size 10 and I prob wouldn't even wear them due to my child bearing hips!

    Well I wouldn't wear them with a homeless bag lady coat like Michelle has done, that's for sure. I think you could wear them with just about anything tbh.

    I was thinking maybe sort of a loose fitted top like nothign too long or anything in maybe a nice purple colour and I bought nice boots the other day so I'll be wearing those over it... I'm dying to get mine. I didnt' realise Vero Moda did them and I bought them from American Apparell. I'm so excited about getting them.

    Well she was never adverse to the idea of liquid leggings as I'm sure she's never even heard of them/seen them before, but I shall put the idea to her.
