We live in Los Angeles, so when we came across bebaroque's out-of-the-ordinary take on tights, we couldn't resist sharing them with those of you are already dealing with changing leaves and frost.

L.A. designer Brian Lichtenberg is fiercely independent, beloved by offbeat musicians like M.I.A. and Santogold, and the undisputed auteur of avant-garde unitards and hologram leggings. And at his Spring/Summer 2009 show, held during Los Angeles Fashion Week, Lichtenberg expanded on his favorite themes while adding some new staples to his repertoire.

We adored Vicky's short new hair at Fashion Week -- it was funky, sexy, and totally flattering. However, it turns out that, cute as it is, it has the possibility to go very, very wrong, as you see here at the launch of Victoria and David's new signature fragrance. Isn't part of the draw of super-short hair the fact that it can look wicked cute with very little work? So why, oh why, did she opt to slick it back like Pee Wee Herman??

Maybe it was so that her hair would look as slick as her shoes/boots/leggings. You'll have to click through the gallery to get the full effect. Oh, and for the record, we're not all that happy with Becks, either.

Here's an idea: luxurious base-layer clothing (translation: underwear) that is super comfortable and uses nanotechnology to prevent odor.

Don't go running to the patent office. Pooghe Laundry already did it, and they somehow even made it sexy, too!

Pooghe uses a high tech method called "SmartSilver" that puts silver ions actually in the fabric. When the ions are released, they kill the bacteria from perspiration and voila, no odor.

The line includes men's and women's underwear, long and short sleeve tees, camisoles, socks, tank tops, leggings and compression cold weather apparel, all made from soft Supima cotton. The founder, Steve Monte, manufactures everything in the US, ensuring that all production is sweatshop-free and Fair Trade.

All good things. But really, we all want to see what it looks like on. In the gallery, scantily clad models who we can be sure smell as good as they look.

Apparently the fact that Lindsay Lohan's leggings from her own line are not only hideous but also hideously overpriced, doesn't matter -- they're flying off the shelves anyways.

You don't have to be as skinny as Lindsay to wear her leggings, or as crazy. But it helps.

We thought we had to wait until the end of August for the 6126 leggings line, oh-so-originally named for Marilyn Monroe's birthday, to appear at Fred Segal. Hat tip to Perez Hilton for the great news that we can see the first four items and get them early, as in right this minute!

Yes, if you've been dying for a pair of shiny leggings...with built-in, quilted knee pads...named "Mr. President" (Finish the tasteless Friday joke: what's the difference between an egg, meat and a ____ ___? Hint: you can't beat it!) then today is your lucky day.

Get a look at the rest of this traumatic magic in the gallery, or head on over to shop intuition and place your order now, before they're gone. Those leopard ankle gloves are going to fly off the shelves. Absolutely fly.

Big wide sailor pants has been around for long enough that they no longer look insanely, freakishly highwaisted. Pretty much every designer and retailer has a version, and even better sale prices are popping up all over the place.

If you've been waiting to try this style, get a move on, because the sale rack is the first sign of "over" for every trend. We estimate you have four to six months to wear your new sailor pants. By the holidays it will be all leggings and tights.

Check out spectrum of styles and prices in the gallery.

For those of you who have been waiting ever so patiently to find out where, oh where you could pick up some leggings from Lindsay Lohan's new line, your wait is nearly over. The actress-turned-fashion-designer has signed an exclusive deal with Fred Segal stores.

Many of us women out there suffer during the summer because we don't have stems like a supermodel. Unfortunately, you can't think your legs long but you can create the illusion that they're a mile long with the right clothes. So let's put an end to your suffering and take a look at some helpful hints to getting Rockette worthy gams.

We can see how Lindsay Lohan's mind works: celebrities have endorsed and designed (or in most cases, "designed") everything from perfume to bed linens, motor scooters to jeans... so why not launch a leggings line?

Because no-one asked for or wanted one, perhaps?

Times must be tough for Lindsay Lohan. Not only is the part-time TV actress too hard up to purchase her own clothing (allegedly), she's now asking models for her new line of leggings to work for free.

Believe it or not, a recent casting ad she ran asks: "Please do not send models to the casting unless they are available for shoot and call time and they agree to trade terms." BTW, "trade" is the industry euphemism for "we won't pay you, but we promise this is really good for, you know, your resume, and making connections and stuff."

And sure, we realize that the entertainment industry is a tough business to break into, so people work for free all the time. But we're not talking about some DIY hipster boutique in Brooklyn, this shoot is for a line designed by Lindsay "I've starred in a number of blockbuster movies" Lohan. The idea that she'd ask aspiring models to work for nothing is a joke.

As our friends at StyleList have so generously reminded us, latex leggings are still making the rounds on the legs and bottoms of your favorite celebrities. We warned you in the fall, and then again this winter, and now the time has come -- the trend is at its peak.

Clearly, this shift from skinny jeans to pants that, somehow, are even tighter, isn't going anywhere any time soon. The question is: do you care? Sure it looks OK on ultra-thin actresses, models and pop stars who spend hours at the gym, working every minor bulge into submission with the help of high-dollar personal trainers. But will it look good on normal women?

Discuss.

Save us, somebody please save us. It's not enough that we are forced to look at tabloid picture after picture of Lindsay Lohan dressed in leggings, no pants. That girl would probably show up at the Oscar's in leggings -- that is, if she were ever invited. Now she wants to start her own line.

She talked with Life & Style Magazine saying "I'm doing my own leggings line! But it's a secret. It will be a while before it comes out, but I'm going to do it. I love leggings." Lindsay Lohan loves leggings? No way! I would have never guessed.

She also mentioned that they'll be sold with prints, patterns and designs on them. First of all, that's just silly. She only wears black leggings. I've never seen her in anything patterned. Second of all, were patterned leggings ever popular?

I won't deny that leggings were pretty much the most comfortable trend ever. But the key word in that sentence is were -- as in past tense. How long do we have to drag on this crazy 80's revival?

Please, Lindsay, let this trend die. Repeat after me, "Leggings are not pants, pants are not leggings. Leggings are not pants, pants are not leggings..."
