It must be the weather. But the stores and streets of San Francisco are packed with knits: extra-long cardigans, scarves, vests, hats and...leggings! Leggings were everywhere. Under short tunic dresses, cardis and mini-skirts. In shop windows. On manikins and smartly dressed sales girls.

Beware, ladies. Just when you thought your legs were safe from public scrutiny, they're coming to a Mile High City near you!
