[dc]L[/dc]ike them or not, leggings are everywhere. Downtown? Leggings. On and off your local college campus? Leggings. In an enchanted grove, bathed in the light of a full moon preparing for the End Times? LEGGINGS.

Pants by Any Other Name Would Still Cover My Butt

While the “Leggings are not pants!” fashion battle rages on, causing fashion casualties on both sides (probably), some continue to wear leggings as pants. Now, leggings mustn’t always be the same old skin tight-stretch-black material variety.

This is 2013, people, and where there are leggings, there are ways (sure). Here’s several geeky leggings for fans of Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, video games, and more–each sure to make any outing or parole hearing much more interesting.

Lord of the Leggings

When fashion meets functionality, LOOK OUT. These Map of Middle Earth leggings not only look great, but are geeky and educational. Sure, you’ll be the butt of Helm’s Deep and Mirkwood jokes, but you’ll know the way to Gondor or Mordor better than any hobbit or Tom Bombadil.

Warning: watch out for creepers using the ‘is there a palantír in your leggings?’ pick up line and boneheads making ‘why didn’t they just ride the eagles?!‘ jokes.

 Yet Another ‘These ARE the Droids You’re Looking For’ Joke

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, pants were still pants. But then, Chewie didn’t exactly wear pants, did he? And what about Jabba the Hutt? Can you even imagine him in pants? More like a tent, am I right? Don’t even get me started on Ewoks either. For geeks wanting to combine their love of leggings and The Star Wars, consider these C3PO and R2D2 leggings.

Warning: watching out for creepers asking where you keep your Death Star plans or asking about ‘making a trench run.’ Set phasers to BARF. Wait. Wrong geekdom.

For the Love of Video Games

Yes, Pac-Man, that lovable yellow pie-chart is just as popular as ever, and he graces this pair of Pac-Man Leggings. I wonder what the Ms. Pac-Man thinks about him run up and down a lady’s leg? Finally, the proper gear to wear the next time you crank Pac-Man Fever, or want to get out of jury duty.

My Pants Are In Another Castle (It Happens)

Not to be outdone by the Man of Pac, video game titans Mario and Luigi have leggings of their own. Probably not the best idea to have one of the Bros. hurling a fireball toward your crotch though (upper left). Unless you are into that sorta thing, in which case, I know a LiveJournal community you should join.

WHY WHY WHY

Welp, so long humanity. Image via Amazon.

Ever wanted to have transparent skin? Well, you are in luck. Here’s a pair of muscle and bone leggings. These will certainly turn heads, and probably call a few police officers. There is something about  ‘leaving it to the imagination,’ but if burdening folks with imagining what your muscle tissue looks like ain’t your cup of tea, then these leggings are for you.
