Leggings have everything to be the king of your wardrobe. No wonder that women like Marilyn Monroe, in those days when these “fake elastic pants” began to shine with their own light and to have a role that nothing, until now, has taken away from them. Fashion comes and goes, but leggings will always be there.
It does not matter if you want to use them in a casual or sports outfit, in either case they go very well. They gather desirable characteristics in any garment, just think: who does not like to feel comfortable, attractive and well-dressed at the same time? Yes, all that is possible with the leggings.
The main problem about this piece is that, being so versatile and functional, it is easier to fall into errors using it. One thing is its versatility and quite another is that it goes well with everything.
Leggings tend to get the most out of our legs, and in fact, they are designed just for that. With them, you will look more stylish and (depending on the color) a little thinner too. Also, according to their cut you will see that the upper area of your legs (around the hips) will be reduced to the fullest and look much more stylish. Of course, this depends a lot on the fabric and the height of the cut that goes from the hip to the waist in the garment. Have you ever seen any terrible “camel toe” while walking on the street? Well, that kind of things happen when factors like the latter are not taken into account. Let us begin:
Things You Should Never Do
- Leggings only go well with tops when we talk about sports outfits. In fact, the loyal pair of these gym leggings are the valuable tuffwomen sport bras. Sportswear usually include nylon and polyester, essential additives to improve their hold and make a thicker and stiffer fabric (but equally comfortable) so it will hardly mark something inappropriate if you have chosen the right fabric. For the rest, in casual looks, avoid tops completely.
- Be very careful with prints. Today the leggings comenot only in the sacred black, but also in neon tones or in all kinds of prints. These do not lookbad, as long as they are combined with very neutral pieces in the most basic possible tones (black and white) and in tall and thin girls, printed ones generate the sensation of greater volume, cutting the size of the leg.
- The leggings that you feel very loose (if you bought them big, you should learn more about the sizes), then do not use them to get out, unless they are covered by a very long shirt that hides their folds. Not only do they not look good, but instead of being more comfortable, you will feel rather a bit unprotected. The support is not the same.
- Do not buy leggings of other colors if you do not have a black one yet. Black leggings are the most basic and versatile that can exist inside a feminine wardrobe. You cannot begin with the fluorescent yellow to go to the gym if you do not have this first.
- Always put full-length leggings first before the ¾ or knee models. These do not favor everyone, and also generate a disdainful effect that does not go well on all occasions. Those are better in their sports versions or to be at home, but rarely for a casual look.
Things You Must Keep In Mind
- Leggings are not pants. They are inspired by them and have the same form but never works the same. Shirts that do not look good with leggings usually go hand in hand with traditional jeans.
- Also, do not confuse them with pantyhose. These are similar, but the thickness of their fabric varies to the point of turning them into completely different pieces. Pantyhose should never go alone; always go under some dress, skirt or shorts, especially on colder days. Leggings go very well alone and few combine well with any of these garments.
The guide to what you should not do when wearing leggings can be much longer. Considering colors, shapes and cuts you will know that there are more suitable models for certain occasions than others. All this is only to make you choose better; Do not forget that your body is wise and able to point you when it does not feel good in a garment.
