Want Comfort & Style? Wear Leggings!

Looking stylish while being comfortable is sometimes hard to pull off, especially when it comes to squeezing into bottoms. Some of us dread the struggle of wiggling and jumping into stiff, uncomfortable jeans, or fear the thought of putting on unforgiving skirts.  Desperately trying to hide embarrassing love handles or resorting to oversized baggy clothes does not help your appearance or self esteem. Clothes that do not fit your body correctly are unflattering, unattractive, and look sloppy.
Luckily, leggings allow us to have the best of both worlds. They are a must have garment because of their slimming, perfectly form fitting style, and can be paired with endless looks for any occasion. It’s impossible not to become addicted to wearing them after falling in love with their feel, fit and ability to be worn with anything.
Their stretchy, comfortable material molds to every part of your body, unlike other pants and bottoms which force you to fit into an already formed shape. Leggings don’t restrict your body which allows you to get into them without a struggle and move with ease all day long. The amazing comfort of these bottoms will make you feel like you’re wearing yoga pants but still look fashionable and put together.
Classic black leggings can easily be paired with a tunic, blazer and heels for a dressier look, or more casual with a long sweater and boots. There are also a variety of materials, colors and design that create a different style and look. Wax leggings are shiny and resemble a leather fabric that is edgy and bold for a more stand out apperance. Lace leggings look great under dresses or bottoms and give a different take on tights and layering. Color or printed leggings can be intriguing and original and will definitely stand out.

These versatile bottoms can be dressed up or down from daytime casual chic to a fashionble night out, and are easy to wear and style. However, there are important rules to remember when selecting the other pieces of your outfit.
First of all, they are not meant to replace sweatpants. Second, most leggings are made with a thin material and can therefore sometimes be a little see through. Sure you can dress them down, but no matter what look you are going for, always remember to wear a top or bottoms that are long enough to cover the junk in your trunk.
Leggings are meant to be worn with tunic lengthened items, not with tops the size of your average tee shirt. Your top should be long enough to cover the bottom curve of your backside but shorter than a mid length dress, and they can also be layered under a short dress, skirt or shorts.

With the ability to transform these bottoms into an infinate number of looks, your style will never get boring. Leggings are proof that you don’t have to forgo comfort in order to look fashionable.
