Hot legs: Denver Nuggets dancers kick winter warmth into high gear

Rocky Mountain News

We're getting a kick out of all the bright ideas in legwear this season. Tights and leggings in fuchsia, marigold, tangerine, aquamarine and sapphire are perfect complements to of-the-moment sweater dresses. To show off the trend, we asked members of the Denver Nuggets dance team to prove that adding a little color to your fall wardrobe is a fashion slam dunk.
