Leggings and skinny pants are simple and light, making them
so comfortable and causal to wear. A simple pair can make you look fabulous.
But how do you wear them without looking desperate or boring?
Here are tips to make you look gorgeous in leggings!
1. Jacket
You can look slimming when you wear a jacket with your
leggings. For those whose shoulders are slumping and round, this creates a
slender figure.
A jacket with a good shoulder and nip-in at the waist area
creates a silhouette that is wide at the top and narrow down to your feet.
Think of a hanger giving a droopy t-shirt structure. You can, of course, choose
any color or style of jacket you feel most comfortable with.
A longer jacket, one that extends further down your waist,
is most flattering especially if you want to conceal some weight around your
midsection. Regardless of your choice of jacket, wearing one with leggings or
skinny jeans makes you look more mature and sophisticated.
2. Cardigan
If you want to achieve a casual look, pick a cardigan
instead of a structured or formal jacket. A cropped cardigan makes for a casual
yet mature look.
3. Loose Top
It is complementary to put on a top with drapes or something
loose when you are wearing something tight on your legs. Wearing tight clothes,
top and bottom, is also popular, but
going for a loose top with leggings or skinny jeans makes you look more
lady-like.
You can choose between longer or shorter tops. If you opt
for the shorter one, pair it with leggings that are almost as thick as pants.
This way it won't seem like you're wearing an embarrassing, revealing leotard.
On the other hand, if you have bigger thighs, hips, or tummy, choose the longer
top that covers your rear.
Ballet flats go great with comfy skinny jeans or leggings.
But what takes it up a notch is a hot pair of high heels. Strappy heel sandals
or pumps with pointy toes look even greater with leggings. Choose heels that
have the same color as your pants to make your legs look longer. You can also
go for a nude shoe.
5. Boots
Tall boots are another fabulous option for footwear when
you're putting on leggings. If you don't want to feel short with flats or when
high heels are a hellish pain, go for tall boots. Choose a pair with flat,
wedge, chunky or slim heels.
6. One color
Another way to look slim in skinny pants or leggings is to
wear a monochromatic getup from head to toe. This creates a long, thin streak
and makes you look taller and more slender. You can also spice up your look by
wearing a scarf down the front that creates a vertical line.
