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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tkees-x-jcrew) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Metallic Leggings:** Opportunity for designing innovative metallic leggings with unique features. - **Strappy Fashion:** Potential to create strappy clothing items that mimic the gladiator sandal trend. - **Vertical Strip Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to incorporate vertical strip designs into various clothing items. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion designers and retailers to capitalize on the trend of metallic leggings and strappy fashion. - **Athleisure:** Potential for athleisure brands to create stylish and functional strappy leggings for active individuals. - **Footwear:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for footwear brands to create strappy sandals that complement the strappy fashion trend. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Performance Functional Leggings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tighties.md) - [Micro-Weighted Leggings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microload-gtights.md) - [Purposefully Distressed Luxe Tights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/destroyed-tights.md) - [Leopard Mini Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leopard-mini-dresses.md) - [Sleek T-Strap Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tkees-x-jcrew.md) - [3-in-1 Platform Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ugg-goldenrise.md) - [High-Performance Recycled Polyester Leggings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/id-train-colorblock-leggings.md) - [Unique Platform-Style Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platformstyle-sandals.md) - [Sleek Western Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naked-wolfes-stark-boot.md)
