Spats

[Meg]

thanks for the link! I've loved spats since about sept. when I saw that the band at my uni has to wear them and quite frankly I wanted to steal a pair from someone but held myself back but anyway, I never know where to find them so thanks for the link! Aren't gwens just a type of tight or stock with the ankle cut out? nm, I see now there are numerous kinds of spats, not just the traditional and hers are a more modern version?

What is the difference between spats and legwarmers? Spats button up? Were they just a 1920s fashon thing?

spats come down and cover the top of the foot/shoe...and usually have a strap that goes under the foot to keep them in place...

they are usually not made of a knit material and legwarmers ALWAYS are...
the knit spat is a new phenomenon...

The Margielas are phenomenal...
Here's to hoping I find those in the sale bin @ some
Nordstrom's, Neiman's, Saks, or Co-Op in the near future...

I do love spats...
However, they can fall into costume territory VERY easily..
