Leggings are a versatile piece of every woman's wardrobe, but not every woman understands how to wear them properly. Leggings must be worn in a layered outfit. It is impossible to look fashionable if you wear leggings as pants and not as tights with other clothes. By mixing and matching different colors and shoes, leggings can be worn at any time of the year. Follow these tips to wear your leggings in style.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: The Legging Code

  1. 1 Don't wear too tight or loose leggings. Leggings should cover the legs tightly enough, but not reveal every dimple in the legs. They also should not hang freely and gather in folds.
    • You can wear leather leggings, but they often generate a lot of unflattering body criticism.
  2. 2 Leggings are not pants. You can safely leave the house wearing trousers and a shirt, but you cannot do the same with leggings. You will look naked and show too much, no matter how good you think you look.
    • Don't wear leggings with a long top or jacket. Even if the shirt covers your bottom, you will still look like you left the house not fully dressed.
    • Wear leggings with a dress, skirt, or even shorts.
  3. 3 Don't wear leggings with the wrong shoes. Leggings look great with knee-high boots, sandals, flip flops, or even short boots. If you wear leggings with heels or platforms, match them with a shirt to avoid looking too vulgar.
    • Leggings also work well with ballet flats or moccasins if the shoe matches the rest of the outfit.
  4. 4 Make sure your leggings are the right length. You may have looked perfect in those black leggings a long time ago, but after repeated washing, they have risen a few centimeters above the ankle.
    • If this happens, set aside the leggings for home wear.
  5. 5 Don't confuse jeggings and leggings. Jeggings are denim leggings that are a cross between pants and leggings. These tight-fitting, sleek pants can liven up a casual outfit, and you can wear them as pants.
    • Leggings should never be worn with a short top, and with jeggings you can wear a short shirt.
    • Make sure the jeggings suit you. They are very tight and not suitable for everyone.

Method 2 of 3: Wearing leggings every day

  1. 1 Wear leggings with a cute dress. Wear a short, summer or spring dress with cotton leggings that match the color of the dress. The dress and leggings don't have to be the same color, but they must match. For example, if the dress has five or six colors, then the leggings must be at least one of them.
    • If your dress has a complex pattern, wear solid color leggings.
    • Or do the opposite - match patterned leggings to a solid dress and complete the outfit with a solid scarf.
  2. 2 Wear leggings with a skirt. Choose a skirt that goes well with the leggings. Make sure the color and material of the skirt does not conflict with the leggings. If you're wearing a wide skirt, wear a tight-fitting shirt so you don't have too much flowing fabric.
    • If the skirt is patterned, wear simple leggings. If the skirt is solid, wear patterned leggings that won't blend in with the skirt.
  3. 3 Match your leggings with your shorts. It can create a very cute, casual look. Wear solid leggings with denim, white, or black shorts. Shorts should not be too tight to avoid blending into the leggings.
    • Casual shoes without a heel are suitable for this look: low boots, sandals and sneakers.
    • Wear a long jacket and a tight T-shirt or T-shirt with this outfit.
    • Remember that you already have so many layers on if you are wearing leggings and shorts, so either add more layers or keep the look simple. There is no golden mean here.
  4. 4 Wear patterned leggings. Zebra or leopard print leggings, striped and covered in other patterns can add a fun and flashy look. You should wear them with a drop top, skirt, dress, pants or shoes. The focus is on leggings, so don't mix other styles with this look.
    • If you're wearing patterned leggings with a long top, add flashy embellishments to the outfit.

Method 3 of 3: Wearing Leggings to Work

  1. 1 Make sure you really allowed wear leggings to work. Even very pretty leggings can be too casual for work. Before putting on your new leggings to work, check your work dress code to make sure it is acceptable.
    • See if other women at work are wearing leggings or skirts that can be worn with leggings.
  2. 2 Wear expensive leggings. There is nothing wrong with cotton leggings, but leggings made of suede, leather, or even dark denim should be worn to work. A large selection of different leggings will help you design and match the most fantastic outfits.
    • Remember the rule of not wearing leggings as pants. Wearing leather leggings with a shirt to work will make you look unprofessional.
    • If you can't give up cotton leggings, wear black leggings to work.
  3. 3 Avoid patterned leggings. Try to wear mostly black or at least solid color leggings to work. If you wear patterned or lace leggings to work, it will look gross. You can wear these leggings outside the office.
    • If you have leggings with small polka dots on a dark background that is almost invisible, then these leggings may be an exception.
  4. 4 Match your leggings with a matching top. If you have a beautiful top that matches leggings, then this outfit will look more suitable for work. Here's how you can dress with leggings:
    • Jacket, plain dress and matching cotton leggings.
    • Loose top and plain skirt with leggings. The skirt should not be much higher than the knee so as not to look too provocative. The loose top should tie the entire outfit together.
  5. 5 Wear leggings with a long sweater. If you have a tight long sweater, you can wear it with leggings. Also wear a belt and matching boots.
    • In order not to attract unwanted looks at work in this form, it should be a really beautiful sweater.
  6. 6 Wear shoes that complement leggings. Sandals look great with leggings but are not acceptable for most jobs. Avoid sandals at work, especially with leggings, as this will look too casual.
    • Pair leggings with low or high black boots.
    • Wear them with closed toe shoes and a small heel.
  7. 7 Switch to denim leggings on Fridays when you are allowed to come to work in casual clothes. You can wear a tunic and ballet flats to them. To better match your work style, add long beads or a decorative scarf. You will look fashionable and casual at the same time.
    • Don't wear leggings and shorts to work. It might look good when you're out with friends, but it's totally unsuitable for work, even if it's a free-style Friday.

Tips

  • Don't wear brightly colored underwear, even if you are wearing long clothes. It can show through leggings if they are made of cotton.
  • Make sure your shirt covers your butt, especially if you're wearing leggings to work.
  • Make sure you don't wear your favorite leggings gray. If so, just carry them around the house.
  • For teenagers, the most appropriate outfit for school is leggings, a long top that covers the butt, a cute scarf, and neutral boots. If you go for a walk, simply replace the scarf with long beads.
