Flashdance & Footloose

The 1980s were loaded with very popular dancing movies. In many of them, you see female performers wearing flamboyant leg warmers like these. In terms of filming, it helped the cameras of that era to catch the motion while adding visual flair to the costumes. Beyond the lack of any real functionality, leg warmers became popular fashion accessories. To this day you see them adorning the legs of women around the world. Especially at an 80s-themed costume party.
