LEGGINGS are a versatile piece of any woman’s wardrobe, but not every woman understands how to wear them properly. Leggings are meant to be worn as part of a layered outfit. It’s hard to pull off a fashionable look if you wear leggings as a pair of pants, instead of as a pair of tights under other clothing. By mixing and matching colours and choosing the right shoes, leggings can be worn in any season and be stylish. Follow these steps to make sure you are wearing your leggings stylishly.

Wear the patterned leggings: Leggings that are zebra or leopard striped or covered with hypnotic can give you a fun and flashy look. Make sure you wear them with an understated top, skirt, dress, pants or shoes. Let your leggings steal the show and avoid clashing by not having other patterns get in the way of your style.

Pair leggings with a cute dress: Put on a short summer or springy dress and pair it with cotton leggings that complement the colour of the dress. The dress and leggings shouldn’t be the same colour, obviously, but they should match. For example, if the dress has five different colours on it, just pick leggings that match at least one of the colours.

Switch over to denim-style leggings for casual Fridays: You can pair a flowing tunic top with denim leggings and ballet flats. To dress it up more for work, add a couple of long chain necklaces or a decorative scarf. You’ll look trendy and casual at the same time.

Avoid wearing leggings with shorts to work. Though this may be a cute look if you’re out with your friends, avoid the look in the workplace even if it’s a casual day. You wouldn’t wear shorts to work on casual Friday, and the same goes for shorts with leggings.
