Their designer didn't say anything about the legs specifically, but she did give some overall insight.

>BABYMETAL combines two opposing concepts in its musicality: metal and J-pop. Its costumes also juxtapose, necessarily, opposing messages to represent such musicality. “I have been making their costumes since their debut, with the same concepts since then, consistently. The key concept is ‘a blend of metal and kawaii.’” Color and material, or outline and detail, I try to play with these opposing elements as BABYMETAL does with opposing musical concepts. For example, in the music video of the new song “Karate,” the girls fight against something that’s invisible. I have a feeling that this something that’s invisible represents the challenges they have had to overcome. Such challenges have brought them strength that has a core the girls can hold on to. Their strength gained so transformed the ephemerality of adolescent girls in them into the beauty of grown women. With those thoughts of mine, I tried to express the girls’ strength, dignity, ephemerality, and their beauty by changing the arrangement of colors this time and adding rubber coating and distressed effects.
