Some of you will wear leggings by themselves with a cute little top or an oversized tee. I am sure it can look good on some people but most of the time when I have seen it, it just looks like some 80s re-run gone wrong. The best way to wear leggings is layered. They can be popped under a dress, skirt or even a pair of shorts. Leggings look good paired with a long and layered belted t-shirt dress or an oversized knitwear.

Leggy Questions
Finding the right leggings for your shape can be a bit tricky but we make it easy with the best cuts for all sizes.

1: Skinny Ankles
Skinny ankles are lovely things and when accentuated make the leg as a whole look longer and leaner. What you want is the kind of legging that cuts off a bit above the ankle to show it off in its prime. Skip things like bow details or folds that will just add bulk and counter the effect.
2: Thin Calves
You can get away with both mid calf and low calf cuts and things like button details and big bows. Be sure to create balance though so if there is a lot going down further down the leg even it out with simple lines above.
3: Wide Calves
Wide calves are best served by leggings that cut off just below the ankle or stirrup styles that reach under the heel of your shoe. This draws the eye down to the thinnest part of your legs and beyond.
