Leggings are a versatile piece of clothing that can be found in every woman's wardrobe, although not all women know how to wear them well. Leggings are meant to be used as part of several layers of clothing. It's hard to be fashionable when you wear leggings as pants, and not as tights under other clothes. By mixing and matching colors and choosing the right shoes, leggings can be worn in any season and remain fashionable. Follow these steps to make sure you wear your leggings in style.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Know the Guidelines for Using Leggings
Step 1. Don't wear leggings that are too tight or too loose
Leggings should be tight enough to wrap around your legs tightly but not so tight that everyone can see every little curve in your thighs. Also make sure that they are not so loose that they look folded on the legs, as this is also unsightly.
While you can use leather leggings, they are generally difficult to wear, fold easily and can make some body types look less beautiful
Step 2. Leggings are not pants
You can walk comfortably in pants and a t-shirt, but not leggings. You will appear completely undressed, will reveal too much, however beautiful you feel.
- Pair leggings with a long top or jacket. Even if the top reaches your bottom, you still look like you're out of the house without a full shirt on.
- Wear your leggings with overalls, skirts or even shorts.
Step 3. Don't wear leggings with the wrong shoes
Leggings look great with knee-high boots, flip-flops and even short boots. If you wear leggings with high heels or pumps, make sure the shoes match your top and don't look too cheap.
Leggings also look great with ballerina or moccasins, as long as the shoes match the overall outfit
Step 4. Make sure your leggings are long enough
You may have looked perfect in black leggings a while ago, but after a few washes, leggings can shrink to a few inches above the ankle.
If you're aware of this, it's time to save those leggings for the days you won't be leaving the house
Step 5. Don't confuse jeggings with leggings
Jeggings are jeans leggings, which is a combination of pants and leggings. These tight and narrow pants can beautify ordinary clothes, and you "can" wear them like pants.
- Although leggings and tops that fall to the waist are a bad thing; You can combine short tops with jeggings.
- Make sure you can look good in jeggings. They are very strict and not for everyone.
Method 2 of 3: Leggings to Relax
Step 1. Pair leggings with a cute top
Wear a summer or spring style overall with cotton leggings that flatter the overall color. Overalls and leggings should be different colors of course, but they should be in harmony. For example, if your overalls have five colors, choose leggings that match at least one of the colors in the shirt.
- If your overalls are full of motifs, try adding plain leggings.
- Or vice versa, you can wear overalls in plain colors with patterned leggings and a plain scarf as well.
Step 2. Match the leggings with the skirt
Choose a skirt that looks good with leggings. Make sure the color of the skirt and the material don't clash with the leggings. If you're wearing a loose-fitting skirt, go for a top that's tight so it doesn't have too much dangling.
If your skirt has a pattern, wear leggings without a pattern. If the skirt isn't patterned, wear patterned leggings or leggings in a different enough color so they don't blend in too much with the skirt
Step 3. Pair leggings with shorts
It can be a sweet and casual look. Go for leggings in a plain color and add a pair of jeans, white or black, and you're good to go. Don't wear shorts that are too tight so they seem to blend in with the leggings.
- Wear casual shoes for this look. Flat shoes, short boots, sandals or even sneakers will suit.
- Wear a long jacket and a tight tank top or t-shirt for this look.
- Remember that when you combine shorts with leggings, the clothes you wear are already crowded. You can add to it, or you can keep it simple. Whatever your choice for this look, don't be half-hearted.
- If the sweater and boots are simple and plain, try matching them with patterned leggings.
Step 4. Look cool with patterned leggings
Leggings with zebra, leopard or hypnotic patterns can make for a fun and classy look. Make sure you combine it with simple tops, skirts, overalls, pants and shoes. Let your leggings steal the show and avoid the patterns colliding.
If you're wearing flashy leggings and a simple top, pair them with equally flashy jewelry
Method 3 of 3: Wearing Leggings to Work
Step 1. Make sure you can wear leggings to work
No matter how good your leggings are, they can convey that you are relaxed and playful, so check your work environment first before deciding to wear your new leggings to the office.
Also check whether other people in your work environment are wearing leggings, or skirts paired with leggings
Step 2. Use leggings made of luxurious material
There's nothing wrong with cotton leggings, but if you have to dress for work, try wearing leggings made of suede, leather or dark denim. Having several variations of leggings to choose from can help you mix and match for a fantastic look.
- Remember the rule not to treat leggings as pants. If you wear leather leggings and a top to the office, you will appear unprofessional and will embarrass yourself.
- If you still want to wear cotton leggings, go for black.
Step 3. Avoid patterned leggings
Stick to black or one-tone leggings in your work environment. Leggings with black lace motifs, for example, can make you look 'cheap' for the work environment. Leggings with such funky patterns may be fun after work, but are too playful for the work environment.
If your leggings have a small subtle polka-dot pattern on a dark material and look almost plain, this is an exception
Step 4. Match your leggings with the right top
Wearing a luxurious top, can make your leggings look better, more luxurious and suitable for work. Here are some tops that can be worn over leggings.
- Wear a designer jacket over a simple overall and team it with cotton leggings.
- Wear loose overalls and plain skirts with your leggings. Make sure the skirt is not so short that it looks provocative. The top you use should be good enough to be able to unite the entire appearance into one whole.
Step 5. Pair the leggings with a long sweater
If you have a thick sweater that is long and looks too big, maybe you can pair it with leggings. Add a belt around the sweater and high boots to match the sweater.
To be able to wear this to the office, the sweater has to look really good too
Step 6. Wear shoes that match the leggings
Sandals look beautiful with leggings but generally cannot be worn in a work environment. Try to avoid sandals in a professional work environment, especially with leggings, as they can make you look even more relaxed.
- Pair leggings with low or high black boots.
- Pair with closed toe shoes that are slightly heeled.
Step 7. Try denim-style leggings for a casual Friday
You can combine it with a tunic top and ballerina shoes. To make it more suitable for work, add a long necklace or decorative scarf. You can look trendy as well as casual.
Avoid wearing leggings and shorts to work. While you can look cute when you're out with friends, it's best to avoid using it at work, even on casual Fridays. You wouldn't be wearing shorts on a casual Friday, would you? The same goes for wearing shorts and leggings
