How to Wear Leggings for Winter 2009


Believe it or not, leggings are back by popular demand, and they are HOT, so to speak, for this winter season! Leggings are quite handy for colder climates if you want to mix up your wardrobe, and you don't necessarily have to wear them to look 80's chic anymore.

Start off by pairing neutral colored leggings with baggy sweaters or over-sized winter tops. Leggings are appropriate for all ages, and you can purchase many complementary pairs in black, gray, or navy to wear for a daytime look. Choose good-quality leggings that will keep their shape so that they remain snug on your body and look slimming.

Longer leggings are more flattering because they will slim the legs and make them look longer. Look for leggings that stop right above the ankle instead of mid calf. Even better, use leggings to spice up a classic dress that you have hanging in your closet for every day office wear. If you purchase higher-quality leggings, then they will look chic and stylish, instead of like something your little sister would wear.

Use leggings to stay warm and add a splash of color to a plain sweater or dress! If you're hoping for a classy impression, then look for berry shades of leggings, and for a different color combination, try teal or fuchsia legging shades.

Think about what shoes you're going to wear with your leggings! Leggings look best with flats or boots, and they are especially handy to tuck into over-sized boots if you are out and about running errands.

Last but not least, for the hottest look of the season involving leggings - think a night out on the town - pair your everyday leggings with a pair of sexy thigh high boots! The way to rock this trend to look as gorgeous as possible is to sport this stunning combination with a simpler top, like a sweater dress, to draw more attention to your lower half. Tres chic!
