How could you not have a great time and have the confidence that everybody is looking at you, and your [hot legs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elevated-luxury-tights), with these leggings?

Costume Dept. is a designer that wanted you to have these fun choices so that leggings aren't an afterthought in the accessory department. These are limited-edition leggings, so don't hesitate. There isn't a black pair in the lot!

**Implications** - Exclusivity and personal pizzaz are two elements in the business world that automatically increase consumer interest in a product. Attaching the words "[limited edition](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-market)" to a unique design is a surefire way to increase sales in a world where people's sense of individuality is slowly dwindling and prestige is highly valued.
