Dos and Don'ts: Leggings

I think that every fashion blogger, writer, or executive has discussed the dos and don'ts of  leggings, but I don't think everyone has received the message because women are still wearing leggings as pants. Leggings are not pants, they are an accessory located in the hosiery department.  


Every now and then, I see women wearing leggings that are either made with a sheer material or worn with a short top.  These two fashion don'ts, highlight all your flaws and expose every bit of your bottom to the world, and I'm doubtful that you want to be doing that.

Follow these dos to prevent any fashion mishaps.

Do wear thick, dark colored leggings. Thicker leggings will flatter rather than outline your flaws.  Also, darker colored leggings are more forgiving because dark colors give the illusion that thighs and hips are smaller than what they actually are.

Do wear a loose top.  A loose top will balance out the outfit rather than making you look like your outfit was painted on because your leggings and top are as tight as can be.

Do wear a longer top that covers your bottom, whether it's a cardigan or basic tee.  The world is not interested in how round or flat your butt is, so cover it up.

Do have fun with leggings of different textures and prints, as long as they are a dark shade.
