Me too start wearing leggings as often as I can. Leggings is comfortable and easy to wear.
Here come the problem. How to make it stylish and not like you are lazy.
Usually I see girls wear it with a tshirt and slippers or flip flops. You should not ever wear slippers or flip flops with leggings. It look like you stick legs. And those who wear tshirt that not crop or long type, those normal which ends just where you butt is. It just a big no no. It look sexy to show that butt but people tend to focus on your butt the moment they see your back.
I not sure why I see girls will always wear like that. That why magazine and newspaper and even online fashion website advise wearing leggings.
But you can wear leggings. After reading and going through magazines and website there lots of ways to match leggings.
Before we start buying leggings. We need to know there lots of type.
Usually there those black cotton type. Which is long up to the ankle. This type can easily find at cotton on, H&M even at those pasar malam or heartland fashion shops. The quality depend on where you bought it. Those which cost more are better in quality. I recommend buy at Topshop or h&m which is around $30-40 even though it is expensive it better to spend a bit more to get something that can last longer. There also those stirrup which all way to the feet. It more of the 80s style. It good to wear if you hate your leggings keep moving up your legs.
Here the problem I saw, many can't see the difference between leggings and footless tights. Leggings are not translucent. Footless tights is translucent though there opaque ones but still it tights and not suppose wear on it own. I saw girls wore it and thier undies can be seen. Not sexy at all!
Next there 3/4 type. It the same as the long one. Just it 3/4 and ends just below the knee or between the calf. This type has more colours. There usually grey, white, black and even others bright colours.
Both this type leggings is best to wear with long top or mini dress. It like for modesty as if wear mini dress some may not comfortable to wear too short. If long top like long tshirt that up to the half thigh.
But I do see they wear crop top but they wore high cut shoes or boots. Never wear it with those slip on shoes it just look tacky!
There also those wet look or leather leggings. It look like you wearing leather pants but it is leggings. The wet look is more shiny then leather. Usually it made of PVC so it not real leather.
This type is usually very popular. Lots like to wear as it easy to match. Can wear with long sleeve shirt and boots to get that rocker chick look. Some match it with a sexy top and knee length boots or even normal heels. Even celebrities wore it.
This style is my favorite. I have 2 pair. I like those which mix leather(PVC) with cotton like those found at cotton on. But I can't find it anymore. Guess they changed the style.
This leggings can be found at Topshop, Dorothy Perkins, forever 21 and many more shops. It even can be found at Bugis street but the one at bugis street is not good quality so do check the quality before buying.
There also those Lycra type. Like the galaxy leggings which I love! I have 2 pairs of it! It multi function can be use for yoga or gym too. Usually wear it with a tank top or long tshirt and high cut shoes.
If you notice I keep mentioning high cut shoes. This cause this type of shoes are suitable for leggings. If others type of shoes you need to carry the style if you want to wear it.
NEVER EVER WEAR with flip flops. It look as if you are lazy. No matter what type it is wrong!
By now you will ask me then how about jeggings. Jeggings is like jeans but it more of leggings. It look like jeans but it actually leggings. Some even has real front pocket.
Jeggings is ok to wear with all kinds of top or shoes. As it look like jeans no problem even if wear normal sneakers but don't wear sports shoes or flip flops.
Flip flops are for the beach!!
There few leggings is a big no no to wear even it look nice. Those kinds which has patterns on it. The kinds auntie wear. Which has flowers patter or worse look like jeans but not jegging!
That is certainly not for wearing at all!!
Wearing bold colours is still Okie but if wear those aunties type is never Okie. This type usually heartland shop or pasar malam sell. Avoid at all course of thinking buying it!
Those big size wearing leggings can be a challenge. To avoid attention at the wrong area. I not an expert so I will not comment of big size. Also may cause some unhappiness.
Back to leggings.
Overall it ok to wear as pants. Just must know how to style. Wearing leggings is no longer see as wrong but it becoming a fashion trend!
There even leggings for men call meggings. A lot may disagree of men wear but to me both sexes can wear leggings. It how you style is important.
Do Google or read magazine on how to style you leggings!!
