On the T from Allston to Park. SO MANY leggings for pants are happening all around me. It's awful.

Is it only a matter of time before this shows up in Boston? Already, local fashion know-it-alls and Northeastern students say it could happen:

Jay Calderin, director of creative marketing at the School of Fashion Design in Boston, said male leggings could easily break into the mainstream.

"I believe when you appeal to a man on the level of comfort you're always going to find takers," he said. "Since workout wear has become a part of our fashion vocabulary, it's easy to imagine men enjoying the ease of wearing a new streamlined version of the sweatpant to express their own personal style."

Oh, no, the leggings are back

Sushiesque rues:

I was in Harvard Square on Friday when I saw a girl who appeared to be wearing a long knit shirt and vintage 80s stirrup pants. Upon closer inspection, they were not pants at all. It had only been spring for half a day and leggings had already begun to emerge from hibernation. ...

But she decides to do more than just curse the leggings: She comes up with a set of downloadable notices you can hand to the legging-afflicted.

Meanwhile, over at BU, a concerned student writes:

To the girl walking down Comm Ave today in jeans, Uggs, and a hoodie: Are you on crack?
