I was glad to find that I wasn’t the only one puzzled by the idea of dropped-crotch leggings. But ever since I wrote that post, I’ve started to be alert to their presence. StyleFeeder oona claims she’s seen them all over Italy, and apparently, they are now hitting the streets of Moscow, per The Sartorialist:

So what do we think? Like them any better on real people?

On a separate but related note, I was cruising around at Brown’s Fashion and stumbled upon designer Pam Hogg’s latest collection. You can purchase her superhero-esque collection as separates (leggings and T’s), but I’m digging this jumpsuit more:

Having grown up believing Wonder Woman was a feminist icon, I can appreciate Hogg’s inspiration. But in this economy, is anyone going to shell out more than 500 pounds to look like a glam Power Ranger?

Okay, I’ve been preaching about fashion and technology for months now and this is exactly what I’ve been waiting for… smart clothes. I’m talking about clothes that make your life easier, whether you’re training for a marathon or headed for a night out with the clique; these clothes can redefine efficiency and time management. Here are a few of my favorite tech-savvy pieces:

The adistar Fusion Apparel Sports Bra

This bra by Polar and Adidas gives you a sleek design with textile heart rate sensors built into the bra, moisture wicking fabric, and an engineered pattern that maximizes your freedom to move. The chest transmitter has a user-changeable battery.

The Rock Rose T-shirt by Music and Sons

Cute funky green t-shirt by Music and Sons include stereo earphones as part of the apparel. Features a washable, side pocket for your iPod, button hole to hook it to your jeans, and a iron safe screen print. On sale for 31.50 euros, each design is handmade so even though they may look alike, everyone is different in its own way.

Audex Jackets by Motorola

Ready for winter sports? Audex Jackets by Motorola and Burton have Bluetooth stereo wireless technology for streaming music from a Bluetooth enabled devices. The controls are on the jackets sleeve and allow hands free calling with a push of the button. Best part, no wires!

Seems like everybody and their brother is launching a blog nowadays. We’ve kept an eye on other shopping sites who’ve launched blogs, and been baffled as to why they seem to feel the need to recreate the wheel. Who needs another magazine editor (or shopping site staffer) on high, telling you what you should be wearing this season?

We’ve decided to buck the trend. StyleFeeder is powered by our users – why wouldn’t we want our blog to be powered by StyleFeeders, too? So we decided to reach out to some of our most active StyleFeeders (the ones who have us obsessively checking our Watchlists like a kid on Christmas morning), who not only consistently find great stuff, but tell you why they like it. We’re turning our blog over to them so you can get the full story behind their StyleFeeds.

Some are verifiable experts who make a living from their impeccable sense of style. Others are professional power shoppers who’ve got one hell of a hobby. We’ll be introducing you to these mavens over the coming days, and soon, they’ll be sharing favorite items from their StyleFeeds. They might not all be your cup of tea, but we’re sure you’ll find a favorite or two.

And us? We plan on getting out of the way. We’ll check in every so often to share a product that has entranced the StyleFeeder community at large. Otherwise, it’s up to you. Think you’d make a great blogger? Drop me an email and we’ll see what we can do!
