The material of the pants became more varied and the colors richer, but the basic features remained the same: they were close-fitting, highly elastic, and breathable, but over time, the knees would bulge and become shiny in places.
Bodybuilding pants at the same time the emergence of cultural symbols with the characteristics of the times and hula hoops. It was suddenly and decisively popularized. The wholesale acceptance and rapid popularization was the only response of the society to the so-called fashionable things in that era. Red skirts, Batshirts, Japanese color TVs, breakdancing, Walkmans, Jumping Jacks ..... to bodybuilding pants and hula hoops.

Whether they were going to work, picnics, dinner parties, shopping, hospitals or the grocery store. The fashion punctuation becomes a jack of all trades. In a little open space, we will see women, especially women in their forties and fifties, almost frantically twisting their very slim waistlines to make the brightly colored plastic rings on their bodies fly with them, together with another popular item that belonged to middle-aged women at that time - eyebrow embroidery (which was a kind of beauty item sought after by women at that time but the technology was very unsophisticated), eyebrow treatment, eyebrow embroidery, eyebrow embroidery, and so on. This, coupled with another popular item for middle-aged women, eyebrow embroidery (a popular but unsophisticated cosmetic procedure that turned the eyebrows into two large, greenish-colored bugs on the forehead within a few weeks of the treatment), almost caused a sudden visual and psychological breakdown for those who were unprepared for it at first. Luckily, the culture quickly spread like a tidal wave, and people got over it.
Bodybuilding pants are supposed to be simple and fussy. Simple because of its simple production, low cost, which is also the rapid popularization of the basic elements in China at that time; picky is that it has very harsh requirements for the wearer, we know that at first its audience is very narrow, that is, gymnastics, dance and other professionals. Because of this, the introduction and publicity by RTHK suddenly sent it to the altar of mainland popularity. It is said that in the 1960s, the British women's clothing store "Slimer" had designed, manufactured and sold a large number of such pants with wool and nylon blended materials. Bodybuilding pants was originally engaged in bodybuilding sports people wear professional pants, because of its strong stretch, can give people full freedom of legs, and can reflect the curves of the female body beauty, so the majority of women friends love.
When bodybuilding pants first became popular in China, many people are not accustomed to it, because it is too exposed to the legs of the requirements of the very strict, unless you were born with a pair of long, thin legs, or else, thick legs wrapped in a tight elastic pants, your defects will be unlimited amplification, it is very ungainly. Lovely beauty, popular charm is too tempting, so from the city to the countryside, from young children to the countrywoman, bathed in the spring breeze of the tide of reform, lifting the ideological confinement of the people, no longer want to be bound by all kinds of constraints, and can not wait to try on and follow suit. For a time, the streets and alleys, everywhere swaying with the charm of the bodybuilding pants.
Bodybuilding pants began to wear only in the spring and fall, with the expansion of the wearer's crowd and the need for practicality, gradually extended to the winter. Some conservative and lack of self-confidence women will wear it in winter. Pants plus a pair of warm pants do not show fat, and then covered with a coat outside, dashing very much. In the last decade of the 20th century, bodybuilding pants became a necessity in the closet of female friends, who wore it, who will be associated with fashion. It made a big impact on people's visual aesthetics at the time.
Entering the end of the 20th century, the bodybuilding pants are the same, the feeling of a thousand people is difficult to meet the needs of people seeking new and different, with the opening of China's doors, the infiltration of foreign trends, some more prominent personality, the avant-garde consciousness of the self-expansion of the people's attention, the bodybuilding pants are finally in the popularity of ten years after the date of the quiet draw away, replacing it with more self-expansion, more distinctive The newest addition to the lineup is the newest addition to the lineup, the newest addition to the lineup.
Into the fashion more diversified and personalized 21st century, in line with the trend, the bodybuilding pants have developed into leggings. Hollywood actresses in the leisure time under the theater, all sets of black leggings and then put on a loose T-shirt, and put on big sunglasses, free and cozy shopping to go. The leggings are also known as bottoms, the English is Legging, as the name suggests, is to be able to stick to the legs to wear out the slender curve of the pants. I have to admit, this kind of similar bodybuilding pants stuff is indeed very beautiful, in the New York Fashion Week, stick leg pants continue to occupy a place in the spring and summer trend, the craze has not receded. But the black leggings have been upgraded - in a variety of colors, including gold, purple and pink.
The leggings came to prominence in Europe and the United States before 2007, and there was a rumor that a hipster forgot to put on his pants at a fashion party, leading fashion observers to mistake them for the current trend. Several major brands quickly followed suit, with CK launching "nothing else between me and my legging" leggings, PUCCI designing printed leggings, and Lagerfeld sewing a diamond grid on black leggings with white thread. The most loyal fans and spokesperson for the leggings is "bad girl" Lindsay Lohan, who wears them from summer to winter, and there are very few occasions when she doesn't wear them, and for this reason her agent had to hold a press conference to clarify that they are not never replaced, and that she in fact has thousands of pairs of the same exact ones, which she sometimes has to change four times a day. In order to popularize leggings, Lindsay Lohan created her own "6126 brand" of legging in 2008 (June 1, 1926 was Monroe's birthday). As a symbol of popularity and fashion at the time, almost all women, regardless of age and size, everyone wore them, and the streets saw an unprecedented uniformity and high profile.
And our sisters and aunts didn't have much discernment, not realizing that the tiny bodybuilding pants were also a double-edged sword: for the well-built, icing on the cake;, and for some, to put it mildly, self-defeating.
