Leggings

Leggings are tight, form-fitting trousers that extend from the waist to the ankles; in the United States, they are sometimes referred to as tights. Leggings are typically made from a blend of lycra, and either nylon, cotton, or a cotton-polyester blend. However, leggings can also be made from wool, silk, and various synthetic fabrics as well.

 Leggings made from a nylon-lycra blend (usually 90% nylon, 10% lycra) are traditionally worn for exercise, although beginning in the 1980s they have also been worn for fashion. Nylon lycra leggings are often referred to as bicycle or running tights, and are shinier in appearance than those made from cotton. Many have racing stripes or reflective patterns to further distinguish them as athletic wear and provide extra safety.

Leggings made from cotton-lycra, or a cotton-polyester-lycra combination, are more typically worn for fashion, but are also common as fitness apparel as well. Although cotton lycra leggings can come in many colors, black, navy, and various shades of gray remain the most commonly worn. Children's leggings also come in a variety of colorful prints and designs

Leggings are typically ankle-length; they are occasionally stirrupped, or less commonly, footed. Since socks are normally worn over the top of leggings, rather than underneath, stirrups prevent the leggings from becoming untucked from the sock.

Just because leggings are considered the “sisters” of tights, it does not mean that they can be worn with dresses only.  Leggings can be worn with long shirts. The crucial rule of wearing leggings is to always wear a top that covers your butt and goes slightly further. In this particular set, leggings are combined with long white shirt, and the bright accessories of warm color make the look dressy and elegant.

If Dot had these on, she would have had the red carpet rolled out for her when she touched down in Oz. Although we do approve of her sparkly red shoes and cute puppy. Cute puppies are always a good choice.

 Leggings can be our best friends, when we want to wear short dresses, but we are hesitating. Here when leggings can come really handy, because they can be very flattering to our legs, and any short dress is not as revealing anymore when combined with leggings.  Leggings will compliment a kaftan dress, as it is demonstrated in this set. Although for illustration purposes I used the black leggings for all five looks, I believe that dark navy leggings would work as well in this set.

How to wear leggings

Long cardigans are great for wearing with leggings. You can also add a thin belt to the outfit to accentuate your waistline. Personally, I love the presence of turquoise color in this set. I believe that brown or beige leggings would look even better here. The golden color bracelet and the bag, which features three colors, complete the outfit by making it sophisticated. The platform ankle boots go really well with this particular outfit. As a rule of thumb, flats are very appropriate to wear with leggings. If you decide to wear leggings with heels, be careful not to look too 80s. By the way, no-heels high boots are also great for wearing with leggings.

Here is another example of how leggings can be worn with denim jacket. The bright color necklace, as well as flats and big purse make the look summery and fresh. At the same time this look is super comfortable.
