Leggings have quite the following now more than ever, with comfort in focus as the pandemic continues. However, leggings sometimes make you look frumpy. Paired properly, leggings can look stylish and sophisticated. It’s important though to:
- wear leggings that fit properly
- stick to darker, solid colors
- keep the focus away from your butt
- be creative
One of the simplest ways to make black leggings look chic is to match them with a good pair of black boots. The black boots and black leggings make the legs and the body look longer and trimmer.
Long shirts pair well with dark leggings. Button down and light flowy shirts made from silk, rayon, or 100% polyester with some fun prints and patterns for the mild-weather months would look great. Wearing a white button down shirt with your leggings allows for a number of different looks. Accentuate your waist with a complementing belt, to make you look classier and feminine, and slip on some equally flattering pumps for a glammed up casual outfit. Pair the look with your favorite sneakers if you are going for the laid-back, cute look. Elevate the style by adding accessories.
An unbuttoned chambray shirt cuts the line between formal and casual when layered with a boyfriend tee. This casual legging attire would look stylish with flats, booties or boots. You can easily take a layer off when the weather gets too warm and still look posh. An oversized chambray shirt layered with a shorter cardigan works too. Cardigans and sweaters look classic and fabulous in colder temperatures. Layer your cardigan over your tees or crop tops. A black pair of leggings if you're planning on different colors for your tops will tie everything together.
Plain flannels give the leggings great contrast, buttoned down or layered with a tee and leaving the flannel open.
Just like long shirts, long sweaters are easily combined with leggings, just remember to match it with a simple, shorter or form fitting shirt. Wearing something that has the same length as your sweater would make it look bulky and out of sync. Finishing the look with a pair of boots makes you look snazzy and cute.
Denim jacket over tees and leggings are casual and are easily paired with sneakers for a laidback athleisure look and more polished with boots or pumps. Denim jackets are cool, easy to match, and comfortable.
A good choice of blazer or a moto jacket upgrades the look of any outfit and when paired with leggings, makes it more sophisticated. A blazer coupled with pumps and dark leggings will make you look more confident and in control.
While there are more choices and variations, carefully choosing what to go with your leggings would define the outcome.
