BY SHEREE WHITELEY Culture Columnist

It's happened - the legging revo- lutlon. These not-quite-tights but not-quite-pants have made their comeback, and proven that it's not just history that's cyclical. The leggings became popular in the 1960s as a version of the tight- er Capri pant, but exploded in the 1980s as a form of workout-chic streetwear. Now it seems that you can't even walk across campus without seeing at least one pair peering out from under a denim miniskirt. They are surprisingly practical, since they keep your legs warm and allow skirt season to be extended without making you look like an idiot with bare legs in December, so it's no wonder that this fad from 20-plus years ago has invaded the fashion scene yet again.
