After denims, the sartorial invention that happens to be a blessing in disguise was definitely leggings. In addition to being chic and stylish, leggings are super-comfy to wear around. We got to love them for their versatility more than anything else.
How not to wear your leggings:
Before we show you what to do with your pair of leggings, let us also let you in on some pointers on what you shouldn’t be doing with your them, lest you spoil their purpose and beauty.
# Try not to team up them up with tops that are too short that do not reach below your waist. It is important to remember that leggings aren’t pants.
# Teaming them up with crop tops is a big no as well unless you have the body or the courage to pull that off.
# For your legging to be perfect, it is important that they aren’t too tight or too loose, lest it could ruin the look.
# Make sure your leggings aren’t made out of loud colours and patterns in such a way that the attention’s shifted to them instead.
# Wearing leggings under tight-fitting, body-hugging tops isn’t a good idea as they are tight by themselves and tight on top as well as bottom is definitely a huge no!
