This unusual printed legging from Adrienne Butikofer transforms your legs into ones that look totally wooden. The photorealistic leggings are printed with a light faux bois woodgrain pattern and if you were to stand by a similarly colored paneled wood wall, your lower half would blend in completely.

The design is unusual and it would take some serious attitude to rock this pair of leggings, but they're pretty out of the ordinary and just out and out fun. The Toronto-based designer also runs a label called [Skinny Sweats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caffeinated-spf) and Butikofer's quirky [woodgrain legging design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microload-gtights) is definitely the most outrageous one in her [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dropshop) shop. The crazy legging design is available for purchase through her shop on Etsy for about $45.
