Leggings are a great piece of clothing to have in your wardrobe. They can give you a fresh youthful look with a hint of class, depending on how you wear them. Leggings are very stretchy so they need to be combined carefully to give you a trendy but decent look.  There are different colors of leggings. However, the dark colors are more favorable, especially if you want to flatter your curves. Printed leggings tend to be difficult to match and they also tend to make you look larger than you actually are if not paired with the right clothes. 

The following tips will help you as you choose to wear leggings:

  • Always wear a top that covers your behind area sufficiently. It is not pleasant for you to have your behind exposed when wearing tight leggings. The goal is to flatter your figure and make sure you look trendy. Therefore, make sure you match them with long shirts, dresses or t-shirts that cover up the backside properly.
  • Choose the right type of footwear for your leggings. The most appropriate type of footwear is knee-length boots. These look very stylish and classy and can be worn especially with dark colored leggings. These long boots look very tasteful with leggings and a smart coat, especially in cold weather.
  • Take note that leggings are generally considered casual wear. It would be wrong to wear leggings to work or to any other formal event. If you were to wear leggings to work, it would be considered a dress down and would probably not be taken well by any superior. They are actually to be worn when you are in a relaxed and more carefree environment such as a picnic or other outdoor event like a sports event.
  • The leggings you choose to wear should be either full-length or at least below the knee. This makes them look more complete and also give a good balance with the top you wear with them. Leggings that are too short tend to lose their style as leggings and it becomes difficult to match them properly with a suitable top.
  • To maintain the elasticity of your leggings, you need to wash them regularly. As you continue to wear them, they tend to expand, but as you wash them they go back to their original size and elasticity. So as you wear your beautiful leggings, make sure you wash them regularly in cold water because hot water will make them expand even more.
  • Be creative with your leggings. You are free to wear them with a long winter coat during the cold season or with a long cotton shirt during the hotter season. You can also wear them with nice long winter sweaters and ankle boots. This mixing and matching can be done with one pair of leggings and therefore it makes it fun to have them.

You can now enjoy wearing your leggings in a fashionable way!
