Although leggings were introduced to the world of fashion not so long ago, they have quickly become a popular item of fashionable clothing. However, many still struggle to come up with the perfect legging outfit that provides a chic, elegant look.
If you have leggings in your wardrobe and are still having difficulty finding the perfect outfit to wear them with, here are some tips for putting together a style you will love.
1. Pair Them with a Leather Jacket
Some may find the pairing of two classic looks boring, but pairing dark colored leggings with a black leather jacket will make for a timeless look that makes for a great day to nighttime transition. If you want to turn up the fun factor, throw on a pair of light or bright colored sneakers.
2. Pair it with a T-shirt and Jacket
If you are going for a casual look, pairing your leggings with a t-shirt can be a great way to achieve it. One problem is that many t-shirts are shorter in length making for a look that can be overly revealing. If you are having this dilemma, try completing your outfit with a light jacket or sweater that you can tie around your waist.
3. Swap Out Heels for Flats and Loafers
Leggings can make for a great casual look or they can be dressed up a bit to be suitable for the office or more casual night time events. However, pairing them with heels will really draw attention to the fact that they are not a formal item of clothing. Therefore, it is best to wear them with flats which can include ballet flats, sneakers, loafers or even a flat pair of boots.
A boot with a low heel can be acceptable, but stay away from anything that is too dressy or has a stiletto.
4. Try a Sweatshirt or Oversized Sweater
The look of leggings with a long sweatshirt or oversized sweater is one that was popularized in the 80’s. In fact, some even wore skirts and dresses over leggings.
The look makes sense because the longer fashions serve as the perfect way to keep leggings from being too revealing, yet the sleek line of the leggings work well on the bottom half.
With the styles of the 80’s coming back in fashion, these are great looks that still work well today.
5. Wear a Crossbody Bag
Crossbody bags are another popular trend we are seeing more often. They are a great way to dress up a casual street style and one that works especially well with a layered legging look.
Conclusion
If you think about it, there are many ways you can incorporate leggings into your wardrobe. If you are still having doubts, look at pictures of your favorite celebrities and fashion bloggers. Then, make the style your own with outfits that are guaranteed to make you look terrific.
