When looking for a good wardrobe staple it’s impossible to go wrong with a range of leggings. The best thing, apart from their sleek figure hugging shape, is their diversity.
They are the ultimate comfy yet trendy wardrobe essential that can be adapted throughout the seasons.
Darker colours are a must-have at all times, they’re versatile and work well with a range of tops and shoes.
Leggings also tend to be more flattering for most shapes because they’re like a second skin making them less cumbersome than trousers or jeans.
Wear your leggings with a strict blouse and high shoes for a chic professional look, or team with a rough knitted sweater for something more casual. You can also experiment with other tones such as dark blue, green and cherry for a twist on traditional black leggings.
It’s important to remember that leggings are not trousers…so length is what matters when it comes to your tops. Forget the types you would wear with jeans and opt for mid-thigh blouses, shirts or oversize jackets. Keep things simple but striking by keeping your top half plain or monotone if you are wearing patterned leggings and set off black or navy leggings with an oversize coat and a funky scarf.
Darker leggings are best contrasted with light, pastel colors. In colder weather there are plenty of options when it comes to warm jackets and blazers. Layering works best for leggings, so go for beige, cream, or pale pink blouses and rough knitted sweaters.
When it comes to footwear, it’s all about the boots. Chunky ankle, knee-high or motorcycle boots are the ideal companion for leggings and can really make a bring an outfit together.
Don’t be afraid to try out bold, vivid printed leggings that are sure to make a statement.
