Cora How much do we women love leggings? They are so comfortable, soft, useful on those days when we feel a little puffy or when we don’t want to squeeze inside the jeans. But despite this, leggings are among the most loved clothing items but at the same time most criticized and most feared, and it is very easy to fall into style errors when it comes to them.
The most common questions are: is it possible to wear leggings and be super fashionable? Is it possible not to be vulgar with a pair of leggings on? Can they also be worn outside the gym? The answer to all these questions is yes! And for this reason, this article will be a guide that will help you understand how to wear leggings, based on your body shape and depending on various occasions. But the first thing to remember is extremely important: leggings are not pants, as they are more tight-fitting, elasticized, transparent than pants, but they can be defined as a mix between pants and tights. However, they are not tights because they are heavier and have bare feet. According to the fashion rules, the butt must always remain covered, and therefore you must always wear something long on top of your leggings!
The first perfect combination? Leggings and maxi sweater! This combination is suitable for all body types and it balances the body by always making the legs longer. Since there is a little risk of making a leg piece disappear under the oversized sweater, I recommend that you wear ankle boots of the same color.
If, on the other hand, you have a pear-shaped body or fairly shapely thighs, then you must opt for wearing a maxi cardigan over the leggings, that creates two vertical lines along the body and is able to slim the figure, not pointing out any body rolls or little toned thighs.
But the leggings do not necessarily have to be intended for cold days, maxi sweaters or maxi cardigans: they can also be worn with a t-shirt, possibly with a cropped cut, provided that you are wearing a shirt, perhaps in denim, to tie in waist or hips and never untied! If you then add a leather jacket above, the look achieved is very current and cool. Sneakers look great under leggings and if you choose them in a contrasting color, your legs will be in the foreground!
If the leggings are not very casual, such as the push-up model, jeggings or those in leather, they can also be worn during more elegant occasions under a blouse and a blazer that must strictly reach under the butt. For a chic and elegant street look it is better not to wear heels with an exaggerated platform under the leggings, but choose stiletto heels instead!
Do you want a tip for showing off a perfect look idea for mid-seasons, so for autumn? Wear leggings together with long waistcoats in faux fur, which proportion the figure very well. And on the feet? Chelsea boots, moccasins, lace-ups, ballet flats or even ankle boots with a wide heel.
