I didn't wear them they way you should, however, since I didn't do much aerobics as a youth. Any dancing that I did was tap dancing, a skill that has never been put to use in my adult life. When the snow would hit, I would put them on over my jeans. Again, why I thought this was a good idea is beyond me. They didn't work too well when I was playing in foot high snow. The snow would become ice, and freeze to my legwarmers. Instead of my legs staying warmer like they should have, my lower legs were encased in ice. Eventually I did stop wearing them, because no matter how cool I thought I was when I was wearing my leg warmers, running around in ice legs weren't worth it.
I'm not sure what became of those leg warmers, they were discarded long ago. Leg warmers occasionally pop up again as a fashion statement, albeit in less bright colors. Now that I'm older I can never see myself wearing them again. My legs just never really get cold.

I totally wore these! Oh my gosh I cant believe they are coming back in style!
A friend of ours just gave us a pair of baby leg warmers as a baby shower gift... they are so cute and teeny tiny.. and retro! ;)
as a yoga teacher... leg warmers are kinda part of the uniform lol
I only own a few pairs... and I generally only wear them under pants when i'm out in public... but I ♥ them
I wore those for years after they went out of fashion. Wore them out, in fact. Was looking for some online the other day. Thanks for the reminder!
