Learn how to wear leggings and look fashionable with these tips.

You Will Need

  • Ankle length, opaque, dark-hued leggings
  • Loose-fitting blouses, tops, and tees
  • A tunic
  • A dress
  • A jacket
  • A miniskirt
  • Flats, sandals, boots, or platform shoes
  • A belt (optional)
How To Wear Leggings: Choose shade

Step 1: Choose shade

Choose ankle-length, opaque, black, or dark-hued leggings to avoid looking like a fashion victim. There are lots of great fabrics and pattern choices, like lace, “wet look,” or torn to personalize your look.

How To Wear Leggings: Create balance

Step 2: Create balance

Create balance by wearing loose fitting boyfriend-style t-shirts, flowing blouses, long sweaters, or roomy oxfords. Tight on top and tight on bottom looks trashy.

Remember – leggings aren’t pants. Make sure your top is long enough to cover your hips.

How To Wear Leggings: Wear with tunics

Step 3: Wear with tunics

Wear leggings with tunics for a casual, bohemian look. A colorful, printed top becomes the focus with a pair of simple black leggings.

How To Wear Leggings: Pair with a dress

Step 4: Pair with a dress

Pair leggings with a dress, which can be fitted for a sleeker look, or with a voluminous skirt for a more casual vibe.

Cinch your dress with a skinny belt to create an elegant silhouette while elongating your legs.

How To Wear Leggings: Top with a jacket

Step 5: Top with a jacket

Top your leggings with a jacket. Hip-length jackets are flattering, as are embellished jackets, like a fashionable military jacket.

How To Wear Leggings: Slip on under a miniskirt

Step 6: Slip on under a miniskirt

Slip them on under a miniskirt. This not only looks fashionable and current but comes in handy if your miniskirt is a bit too short for you to feel comfortable in.

How To Wear Leggings: Wear the right shoes

Step 7: Wear the right shoes

Complement your leggings with the right shoes. Flats, boots, sling backs, and pumps always look great. The more fashion forward can opt for funky, high-heeled platform shoes.

Did you know? Spandex is a synthetic polymer introduced by DuPont in the late 1950s.
