I started seeing something new this autumn, as the summer dresses and flip flops were replaced by skinny jeans tucked into boots.
People were wearing their boots with legwarmers. Except that they're not called legwarmers anymore. They're boot cuffs.
That, my friends, is a pair of legwarmers. Re-branded.
What do you think? Are boot cuffs fresh and exciting or do they make us look like we're trying to revisit the 80s?

I have a bunch of welly boot liners that are designed to cuff over. I never thought to use legwarmers!

That's what those things are? Huh. I thought they were knee socks or something.

I kind of like it... but seeing as I finally just found boots that would fit my calves and skinny jeans, I don't think there is room for anything else!

I haven't tried boot cuffs yet, but I think they add a fun bit of interest and/or color to your outfit. They also look like they might be able to fix that puffy skinny jeans/boot problem?

Love 'em. I just bought a pair last week (and can't wait to try them out!).

I like them, and plan to knit some soon! I think they're not called legwarmers just because they're much shorter. 6-8 inches or so.

I have some and had the same thought when I first wore them. BUT, I am in love. They are cozy and fantastic and I need them in more colors.
