Gold Kiddie Leggings

American Apparel Launches Line of Shiny Kid Tights

American Apparel has decided shiny leggings shouldn’t just be for adult women anymore, making a line of metallic leggings for kids.

The shiny leggings by American Apparel take trendy adult wear and attempt to apply them to children’s clothes. It will take a definite fashionista tot and her equally stylish mom to wear these, but if you feel your kid needs more metallic tights in her life, these shiny leggings are for you.
