Leggings, without a doubt are a favorite with many girls today. They are by far the most versatile garments and their range truly seems endless. From monochromatic, to psychedelic colors and form floral to animal prints. In 2009 leggings that looked like jeans caught on and the term ‘jeggings’ was coined.
Leggings are the new pants. Its no wonder that in the 90’s they went on to outsell jeans! Even though they’ve been around for ages, 2011 takes them on and recreates them with just a tad of a difference.
There are so many pros with regards to leggings! They are comfortable and versatile. Easy to wash and dry and they make for easy luggage while travelling taking up the minimal space. A simple black pair can go from day to night by just changing your shoes and top.
As trendy as they are however, a few tend to go wrong with the look. I find, minimalism is the key here. Keep the leggings in focus and don’t overdo the look. It’ll just look heavy and awkward.
A common argument is whether leggings can be worn as pants. I for one am of the opinion that they can. If you have it, flaunt it! So if the ass-et is cute and you haven’t a worry about a showing panty line, go for it. But pick your leggings right. Unlike the majority, only some leggings are thick enough to be worn as pants.
