Be sure to mark your calendar for National Legwear Day on Sept. 22! This day celebrates the fashionable, fun, and functional legwear that we all love. Legwear has been around since ancient times, with some of the earliest examples dating back to 3500 BC. It's come a long way since then, with styles ranging from tights and leggings to stockings and socks in every color imaginable. Whether you're looking for something practical or something daringly stylish, there's no better way to show off your legs than by rocking some great legwear!
