Hold the Stuffing: Super-trendy leggings

By RENATA CERTO-WARE | December 7, 2012

Well, you did it — you polished off an entire pumpkin pie during Sunday Night Football, and the button of your pants has jumped ship. Keep your food baby in check and stay stylish in some super-trendy leggings (really!) and dressy workout gear (yes, that's a thing) so you can hit the final round of holiday eat-a-thons without looking like you raided Mama June's closet. We hit the cozy armchairs at PARK in Harvard Square to put some surprisingly chic stretchy pants to the test. Just one rule: absolutely no buttons allowed.

Above: Rag & Bone “Samantha” biker jacket, $625 at the Tannery; Lululemon red “Wunder Under” pant, $82 at Core de Vie; plaid platforms, $295 at Cynthia Rowley; headband, $80 at
