How to Style Leggings | 14 Ways
This post is long overdue on KMM Lifestyle. Living in the northeast, it is cold half the year, and I am always looking for ways feel ‘cozy’, yet put together. Enter, leggings.
There is a lot of debate out there on the legitimacy of leggings as pants, and I am here to tell you it’s possible, when done the RIGHT way. In my opinion, they are a wardrobe essential, I even included them in my fall capsule wardrobe! However, there is a certain art to wearing them. Today we are going to talk about 15 ways to style leggings in your day-to-day life!
How to Style Leggings | Tips & Tricks
- Make sure your leggings are opaque and QUALITY material.
- Wear the proper undergarments – keep in mind those panty lines!
- Balance out the fitted bottom with a loose, oversized top.
- Stick to a full length if you are wearing them causally, this will help extend the lines of your legs.
- Layer! If you have a top that is not tunic length, add a longer sweater to cover up your backside.
- While we are on the topic – cover up that behind! Arguably, this is the most important point!
- Tall boots are a great counterpart to leggings.
- Accessorize! I love adding quilted vests, jackets, and scarves to elevate the look!
How to Style Leggings | What to Wear
Here are some examples of ways that I have styled my leggings over the past year! I am wearing the same pair in each photo, these faux leather ones (they also come in petite!). Full disclosure, they are pricey, but I have certainly gotten my moneys worth over the year!
1. Tunic Length Cardigans
2. Tunic Length Tops
3. Jackets & Scarves
I hope you got some inspiration for your next leggings look!
