And they also use arm warmers. Exact same thing and you can slide them up and down as needed to keep your arms comfy without stopping to add/remove a long sleeve layer.
They’re still being sold in some fashionable stores. See Urban Outfitters: http://search.urbanoutfitters.com/exec/?cartpost=0&query=legwarmer
Personally, I think they can be cute if done in tasteful colors. Along with arm warmers, I welcome them back openly!
I bought a pair of gray knit arm/hand warmers at Urbans just a few weeks ago and they are perfect for work. Typing makes fingers very cold.
I have 4 pair of leg warmers and wear them a lot. I have bad circulation and it helps me to wear them. No one sees them because I wear them under slacks.

You can still get al sorts of leg warmers, arm warmers, and even “knee warmers” at any bicycle shop. Like there. They look nothing like the 1980s Flashdance kind of things though. They are purely functional, and tight fitting, not so much designed to fit over regular pants, rather they are designed to fit over your bare legs when you wear shorts or spandex-type clothes.
And you can still get leg warmers any place that sells dancewear.
The Kinky Boot Beasts ate them. I hope somebody got the reference.
Say their name three times while looking in a mirror in a dark room!! I double dog dare ya!! :eek:
Wasn’t there a problem with mold growing on people’s calves because of too much leg warmer wear?
Nah - it’s just that we’re both Canadians and know how to dress properly for cold weather without extraneous saggy woollen tubes. 
Don’t forget the riding crop in the easy-to-reach holster! Beat them leg wamers! Beat them!
