A Few Tips Regarding Leggings



Leggings have rapidly gained huge popularity over the past 2 years. There are so many different types of patterns and ways of wearing leggings. Although I am no fashion expert, I have noticed that there is a very common rule that people miss when they wear leggings: LEGGINGS ARE NOT MEANT TO BE WORN IN PLACE OF PANTS!!!

While most leggings are thicker and less transparent than stockings, leggings are still accessories. They are meant to be worn UNDER or WITH things to enhance the overall effect. Meaning one should not replace pants. Wearing legging with a shirt that doesn't go past your hip is like wearing stockings with nothing to cover it. It is a very embarrassing look for you and others around you.

In order to prevent this embarrassing situation, there are simple checks you can perform before leaving the house:
1. After putting on all your clothes, stand infront of a full length mirror.
2. Stretch your body by lifting both of your arms as high as you can.
3. Check to make sure your butt and crotch is not exposed.
If you have passed all of these, then you are ready to head out and have fun!

If you absolutely must wear leggings with a shirt that goes above your hips, there are a few exceptions that you can choose. For example, there are leggings that have jean patterns which will avoid the embarrassing look that one colored, patternless leggings will create. However, it is still generally discouraged.

I hope this was useful! :D
