The Score: Rag & Bone Stretch Denim Legging

The Score: Rag & Bone Stretch Denim Legging

[Ed. note: this is the first entry in a daily feature we call The Score: something you need that looks cool and doesn't cost more than $100.]

The leggings are made in stretch fabrics that are supposed to resemble corduroy, leather, wool, and the like. Since the ones in this particular ad are light brown, I was sort of hoping they’d be “tree leggings” because you’re supposed to look like a stick when you wear them. No such luck. More »
