I am sure that every girl has a pair of leggings in her closet somewhere. Leggings play an important role in my “wardrobe collections”. I remember my very first pair of leggings was bright fuchsia from Marks & Spencer when I was around six years old. Did I pick it out myself? Of course not! My mom was in charge of my daily outfit back then. But I loved that pair of leggings; unfortunately I was allowed to wear it for only special occasions: weddings, New Year’s party etc. As years go by, I still love leggings but I would buy/wear only black ones.

Suede Leggings (Aritzia); Blouse (Aritzia)

I usually wear my leggings (has to be with my heel or booties) when I go grocery shopping because they are very comfortable and have minimal restriction. There are different types of leggings material: cotton, nylon, polyester. The material determines how thin/thick the leggings are and how tight they are on your skin. My new favourite is faux suede leggings. I love the softness and comfort while it still holds its shape after wear. If you have already had a pair of faux leather leggings and you love it, I highly recommend you should try a pair of suede ones and I promise you will not regret!

As much as I love my leggings, there are couple things I would watch out for. To me leggings are leggings; they are not pants so I will never wear them as pants. The close-to-skin fit shows almost everything so you have to know what tops to pair with and take away some attention on your legs (You may want to stay away with the combo of leggings and bodycon tops to avoid the “sausage” look). And leggings definitely are great friends with long tunics and chunky sweaters. If you want to get the perfect proportion, don’t forget to pair with your heels (sexy and chic)!! Next time you wear your leggings, play around with it and have some fun!
