6 Amazingly Stylish Ways To Wear Leggings

Leggings are incredibly stylish right, but how to wear leggings without looking like a fashion disaster is what matters. After checking out loads of celeb photos, there is a bunch of on-trend ways to wear leggings for women of all shapes and sizes. Here are 7 amazingly stylish ways to wear leggings.

WITH A TUNIC

I love the way a long tunic looks with leggings, with or without a belt to help define your waist. If you have print leggings, go with a solid color tunic; if your tunic has a print, then you'll have to opt for solid color leggings.

WITH A MAXI OR MIDI

I love wearing a pair of leggings under a maxi dress or skirt or a midi skirt. Especially in winter, it adds another layer of warmth and comfort, something tights or even knee socks just can't give you.

WITH TALL BOOTS

Leggings look so stylish with tall boots! One caution, though: if you do decide to wear leggings with tall boots, make sure the boots fit well, and don't leave a large gap at the calf.

WITH A SWEATER

The alpine-inspired look of a big sweater with leggings is completely on-trend right now, and it' such a cute look for the holidays! Add a scarf and mittens and boots, and you're ready to hit the slopes or the company holiday party!

WITH A MINI

This is a very sexy look; the leggings with a mini skirt, but if you have nice legs and a little extra confidence, go for it!

WITH ANKLE BOOTS

This look is relatively new, but it's also quite stylish. Wear your favorite slouchy ankle boots with a flirty skirt and a pair of leggings and see how many compliments you get!

Not sure which of these ways you want to try first? Start by combining a few of them, like a sweater and tall boots, or a mini and ankle boots? 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. Don’t confuse leggings with jeggings, Jeggings are jean leggings. Make sure your leggings are long enough. Don't wear leggings that are too tight or too loose.

The Perfect Outfits for a Slimmer Look

One thing every lady is always conscious of is their weight, and some even feel insecure about how heavy they might look when they’re all dresses up. With a few simple fashion tricks, however, you can help yourself look a little skinnier. Always look for clothing and details that force the eye to look up and down rather than side to side. This reduces the amount of width a person sees, making you look skinnier. Below are some helpful hints.

Wear undergarments that fit.

This is especially important when selecting a bra. The right bra helps you shape your silhouette by keeping your chest in check and your waist defined. Avoid undergarments that offer no support. Thin bikini bottoms and thongs cover the bare minimum. Try boy shorts, briefs, and other styles that help pull in your buttocks, stomach, and thigh. These cuts create a tighter, smoother appearance. Try body-slimming undergarments. If you want extra help creating a shapely figure and keeping your excess weight in check, try a body shaper.

Buy the right size.

Clothes that are too tight will show every flaw and excess pound your body has, and clothes that are too baggy will make it look heavier than you actually are. Only clothes that fit you properly will flatter you. Also avoid clingy clothes,Tight, Spandex-like material will cling to your body and show every roll and fold you have.

Look for bold colors and patterns

Bold patterns can distract the eye and camouflage your outline, causing the observer to notice the item of clothing instead of your size. Choose patterns in bright or deep colors, though, since patterns in light colors may actually draw further attention to your imperfections and make you look larger.

Stock up on v-neck tops.

V-necks and other vertical necklines draw the eye up and down, elongating and narrowing your torso. Avoid horizontal necklines, like crew necks and boat necks, since these may make your shoulders and bust look wider.

Opt for vertical details and avoid horizontal details.

Think pinstripes, pleats, and vertical zippers, and avoid horizontal stripes or rows of embellishments. Vertical details prompt the eye to look up and down instead of side to side, which helps create the illusion of slenderness.

Try a high heel or platform

High heels make your leg look long and lean, and a leaner-looking leg helps create a leaner look overall. Avoid strappy sandals and kitten heels. If you have wide feet, strappy sandals will only accentuate the heft of your foot. Similarly, a large foot looks even larger when squeezed into tiny kitten heels.

Draw the eye to your face with the right make-up.

A touch of eye shadow or a pleasant shade of lipstick keeps the focus on your face and off your body. Never wear too much make-up, however. Add a bit of color to one feature—usually either your eyes or your lips—but keep the rest of your make-up looking natural.

Style your hair.

Ask your stylist about styles that elongate your neck or face. In general, wide bob cuts may add too much width to your face, but many long, layered styles direct the eye up and down instead of side to side.

10 Accessorize with boldness.

Think bright, sassy necklaces and dangling scarves that drape over your front. Stick with jewelry and other accessories that create a vertical look, and avoid horizontal accessories like chokers that may make your neck or other features look thicker.
