There are some characters we love so much we need them off-screen. Sophia Petrillo’s advice starts to creep in to your everyday life, followed by Samantha Jones’ sex tips and Elaine Benes’ dance moves. If you want to leave the couch but keep the cast, there’s a better way — take them with you. On your clothes. Sites that focus on artist-driven merchandise like Etsy, Society6 and Redbubble (not to mention a few larger distributers) are catching on to the fact that fans love entertainment enough to want to wear it all day long. We found 13 of our favorite leggings emblazoned with everything from catchphrases to prints to faces from our favorite TV shows and movies.
First, these argument-ending leggings are perfect for those nights when one of you wants to go out, and the other wants to stay in. You can’t argue with pants that are telling you to Netflix and chill. (Redbubble, $49)
‘Mean Girls’
These leggings have benefits on multiple levels: For Mean Girls fans, you’ve just joined the Mathletes with LiLo. For everyone else, you’ll look smart enough to be on your own high school Mathletes team. Just don’t wear them on Wednesdays. (Society 6, on sale for $39)
‘Star Wars’
Channel your inner Princess Leia with these Star Wars-inspired leggings, all the better to stay home and rewatch the series in. (Forever 21, $20)
‘Gilmore Girls’
When you’re not busy talking about the Gilmore Girls reboot or googling to see if Melissa McCarthy has decided to return to the series, you might as well dress yourself up in Stars Hollow-worthy memorabilia. With references to The Dragonfly Inn, the town center gazebo, and of course, Luke’s famous coffee, these thoughtfully-crafted leggings are perfect for the Gilmore Girls fangirl.
