Definition of legwarmers

From Casey, for About.com

Definition: Huge in the '80s "Get Physical" craze, legwarmers -- those scrunchy foot-less socks -- are constantly on the outskirts of making a comeback. Not only do they look adorable, but they are *so* practical. Bunch them up over a pair of tights with a mini and you're good to go.
Pronunciation: leg warm-ers
Alternate Spellings: leg warmers
