I recently received a press release from Hue and it contained this AWESOME information on styling leggings. I had to pass it along!
HOW TO WEAR LEGGINGS:
Everyone asks us how to wear leggings…
There’s no fast and furious answer,
But here are a few simple style tips:
LEGGINGS ARE NOT PANTS… so covering your booty is usually a good thing.
All bets are off with Jeggings
which offer the COMFORT of a legging paired with the look (and back pockets) of a jean.
Wear them like jeans.
To offset the sleek, stovepipe silhouette,
leggings always LOOK BETTER paired with looser,
longer tops versus short, snug-fitting ones.
Never ever wear leggings with
SKIRTS AT OR BELOW THE KNEES
unless you are going for the Granny look or
a celebrity who wants to be in the back of Life & Style AS A DON’T.
Worn with a boyfriend blazer and flowy blouse,
LEGGINGS LOOK CASUAL YET CHIC for the office or
a date when layered with chunky socks tucked into lace-up boots
For a clubby look, wear leggings
UNDER A CUTE MINI-SKIRT with booties or chunky platform heels.
For a second date,
layer them UNDER A BELTED BLOUSE AND HEELS.
If your date is short, opt for ballet flats.
WEAR WITH A SLEEK MINIMALIST
TUNIC and knee-hi boots when you want a raise.
Ditch the sweats and SHOW OFF YOUR FIGURE at the gym in leggings.
When the temps drop below 20 degrees, always keep in mind that leggings are the FASHION CROWD’S version of long underwear.
