Empire Patterned Tights

The Monochromatic Star Wars Leggings Are Ideal for Fashion-Friendly Nerds

— September 9, 2014 — Fashion
These Star Wars leggings are sure to make an out of this world impression this fall. The 100% polyester stretchy pants (note: leggings aren't always pants) feature a unique black and white repetitive pattern that results in a graphic visual effect. From ThinkGeek, the Star Wars Empire Leggings are covered in images including two Storm Trooper helmets, Darth Vader's head and the Imperial crest.

In addition to showing off your love for this classic sci-fi film franchise, the monochromatic tights will also go with anything, so you can wear them super often. As the Star Wars leggings also demonstrate your allegiance to the Galactic Empire, they provide you with a subtle way of showing off your badass nature while still standing out.
