Rock Chick Chic: Treggings

Ok rock chicks, it's London Calling (yadayada - insert more UK related rock cliches here) - as Winter approaches in the Northern Hemisphere, attention turns to the winter wardrobe. This winter's staple is leather pants - as tight as possible, and hopefully with some dark, moody eyes, loads of gold chains and some crucifixes a la Madonna circa Like A Prayer. These babies are hot, and so tight they've been dubbed "treggings" - a hybrid of trouser and leggings, wound around your thighs in a second skin of sexy, taut leather. Hot. Speaking of hot, summer approaching the southern hemisphere and all, means we'll have to view this vanity-defying trend from afar. Pair them with some grubby Cons and rock-tribute T-Shirts and you'll be the perfect Agyness Deyn wannabe.

As with every fashion trend, there are rules:

• Leather's like denim - don't double up. If you've got leather pants you do NOT need a leather jacket. No coordinated ensembles folks, we're not off to preschool!
• If you're a PC, cow-hugging vegan don't even attempt to do this in vinyl. Gross. Just get some BlackRats from Sass & Bide.
• Don't go dominatrix on us. It's totally passe. Truly.
• Beware the muffin top. Keep your waist-length the right height for you and make sure your top covers any excess, flabby flesh - not many of us are Kate Moss.
• Think about who you're channeling and don't get your leather goddesses mixed up - are you Sandy from Grease - the good girl turned semi-bad/super-sexy? or are you Alison Mosshart from the Kills - the uber rock girl?

Sandy or Alison?

I'm with the band, bitches.
