How to look good in leggings...

For me, leggings do look good for tall and skinny girl....sebab nampak diaorg sangat cantik...long beautiful legs...!

I bought a pair of leggings last week.... sajer gatal..sebab murah and cantik. But I think it doesn't suits me very well lah.... So i do some research online on how to look good in leggings ( yeaaa, now days....you can find anything, everything..online, just Google..!! )

So, here are some info's that I find what goes well with leggings :

Tunics

1. Tunics are made from a variety of fabric, but the most common are knit jersey and sweater material. Pair your leggings with a tunic that comes down past your hips and rear. Wearing a shorter tunic (or shirt) that stops above your hips will make you appear ready for the gym versus a night out. Wear a belt with your tunic if you wish. The key is to look balanced--a roomy tunic with fitted leggings. One elegant outfit idea is a black tunic with black leggings and black high heel boots.

Dresses and Skirts

2. Dresses and skirts that fall at or above your knees work well with leggings. If your dress or skirt falls past your knees, you risk visually cutting off your legs. A close-fitting, jersey knit dress with a wide belt worn snugly at the waist works nicely with leggings. More billowy, bohemian fashions also look good with leggings. Younger women can look trendy in leggings paired with denim miniskirts.

Shirt

3. For the best proportions, wear only roomy shirts that don't fall beyond the middle of your thighs. Aim for a silhouette that looks big over small. Avoid wearing a skin-tight shirt with leggings. Petite women should be careful when choosing a shirt to wear over leggings: make sure it is proportioned for shorter torso so that it doesn't look like you're wearing a dress over leggings instead of a shirt. Keep in mind that a monochromatic ensemble will elongate your look. Likewise, tall women need to make sure their shirts are long enough to cover their rear.

Shoes

4. Choose from three can't-lose shoes to pair with your leggings: flats, plain pumps or boots. Ballerina flats are always a good choice. Give your look a rocker-chic edge by wearing booties with ankle-length leggings. Pair cropped leggings (those that fall mid-calf) with platform espadrilles that lace up around your ankle. Because leggings of this length can make your legs look shorter than they are, wearing them with a visually tall shoe helps elongate the look.

Colors

5. Besides the elongating benefit of a monochromatic look, you can also wear leggings that echo a color that already exists in your outfit. For example, if your outfit has touches of brown (including your belt or shoes), wear brown leggings to complement that aspect. Wearing a leggings in a contrasting color can look either fabulous or a bit scary. If you're willing to take the risk, go for it. Black leggings paired with bright-colored tops will draw the attention to your hair and makeup, away from your legs. The key is to accentuate your best features and diminish those that are less stunning.

Some tips :

1. Step 1

   Try several sizes until you find one that fits your body. Skinny leggings and jeans should lay flat and not be too tight on your waist, thighs or ankles. If the leggings are too tight, you will look and feel uncomfortable. Darker colors will create a more slimming effect.

2. Step 2

   Wear a shirt, sweater or jacket that hits you at hip-level or longer. Looser, more flowing tops will balance out the slender look of the leggings or jeans. If you are self-conscious about your size, wear a tunic or shirt that hits below your rear-end.

3. Step 3

   Wear ballet flats or other flat shoes for a casual look, or pair the leggings with a pair of heels or boots for a dressier look.

4. Step 4

   Try a skirt or dress over skinny leggings. Make sure the skirt or dress hits at thigh or knee-level, not longer, to prevent looking overly casual or young and also to show off your skinny leggings.

5. Step 5

   Avoid tapered skinny leggings or jeans. Tapered pants only make the legs look bigger and detract from looking sleek and chic.

Most important thing to remember :

Leggings are tight, do NOT wear them with a tight top!
