How to Wear Leather Leggings

leather leggingsI have an issue with leggings. They’re not pants, they’re not tights – they’re confusing is what they are. If you wear them like pants, you look like something’s missing. And if you wear them like tights, in my opinion, you distract from the flowiness of the dress or skirt you pair them with.

So how do you wear leggings? With very specific tops: ones that cover the you-know-what region. Otherwise, you’ll just look like you’re not wearing any pants, and that can get awkward. Try oversized sweaters, tunics, or even a lengthy chambray shirt.  And when it comes to leather leggings, have some fun by mixing textures. Add a luxe cable knit sweater to complement the sheen of the leggings.  Also try oversized cardigans with a navajo print. Combining more casual textures and prints with leather can create an interesting and balanced look, appropriate for any day. How do you wear leggings?
