We think that if there is a clothing item that most demonstrates women's journey over time – it is leggings! (And not just Paisley leggings!) Skin-hugging and colourful, they tell the world ‘I am a woman and only I am in control of me.’
This site is about the Paisley Pattern, and we at Just Paisley think we know our Paisley. If you have looked at some of our other articles, you will see that we occasionally mention an item that completely suits Paisley.
Of course, there is the Paisley hair scrunchie. The Paisley drinks coaster set. The stuffed fluffy Paisley iguana toy. (There are many more that suit particular Paisleys) And then there are leggings! Leggings are just perfect for Paisley. We will go further. We think no other item on the planet is more suited to Paisley. Leggings of the Paisley variety make that ultimate ‘I am in control’ statement. They never hold back. And why should they? They are beautiful. They are complicated. They are different. They intrigue. They confuse. They say ‘You think you know me, but you will never completely know me.’
And if you have multiple pairs of colourful Paisley leggings, then tomorrow’s are likely to look completely different from today’s – although that distinctive Paisley swirl that links them as family will still be the first thing you notice when you look at them.
So, there you have it – Paisley's distinctive leggings. The true queen of Paisley. The bold queen. The sassy queen. This queen is not just ceremonial – no, this is the queen who holds the power.
Do Paisley leggings have alternative uses?
Unlike some of our other articles, where we suggest alternative uses for items, we will not do that for Paisley's unique leggings.
No, we don't think you should put your hands in them and use them as a duster.
No, we don't think you should stuff them in wet shoes to help your shoes dry.
No, we don’t think you should stick them over your head and wear them as a long headband.
No, they should not be used as partial chair coverers to bring a boring chair to life.
We are sure your Paisley leggings would be happy to accommodate any alternative ways you could use them. But, we will repeat it, 'We think Paisley leggings should only be used as Paisley leggings'.
And unlike in some of our other articles, where we suggest some colours for Paisley items, we will not do that for Paisley leggings. Why? Paisley's flamboyant leggings ARE the most flamboyant of the Paisley family – by far! And when we say flamboyant, we mean flamboyant to the point of maximum flamboyance.
We have featured a few leggings here – some of which feature prominently on the flamboyance scale. (Our favourite is the red Paisley bandana leggings featured below) But, you decide how far you go with your Paisley leggings. We would only say ‘Don’t hold back!’ Colours, shapes, patterns – go wild and enjoy!
