Gladiator Legs

Strappy Leggings by Hubert

These metallic, strappy leggings carry the effect of the gladiator sandal fashion all the way up the leg. Designed by Denmark's Rikke Hubert, the leggings are made of a shimmery black fabric straps connected by a flattering vertical strip up the back of the leg. The leggings with micro shorts at the top, look adorable under a dress, or can be worn with a t-shirt.

Paired with a strappy pair of sandals the look is fantastic. If the strap look is not for you, Hubert offers the same leggings in a sparkly full-coverage version, though not nearly as fun.
