I bought some leggings yesterday that I was a little iffy on, New York and Company’s Black Legging with a faux leather inset. They have a equestrian feeling with an edge, with a faux leather inset on the inner calves. I put them on this morning and I absolutely love them. I automatically feel slim and chic with a little bit of unexpected surprise on the inside of my leg. Another great thing is that they were only $9.99!
The thing to remember with leggings is, they are not pants. Your top needs to be a little bit billowy and or cover your butt, be careful b/c you don’t want to come out with Kim Kardasian legging butt. The best way to wear them are over tunics, under small/short dresses or large sweaters with boots, booties or heels.
Today I have them on at work so I am super casual with a flowing, long black ruffle tunic also from New York and Company, Jessica Simpson patent leopard sandals and gold accessories from Forever 21.
They would also look great paired with a flowing tank, fitted blazer, booties and some glam accessories for a night on the town.
However you decide to wear your leggings make sure to take a hard look at yourself before walking out the door and remember that these are not pants and unless you have the perfect body (let’s be honest, no one does) you should have your but covered by your top.
