What Can You Wear with Leggings?

Filed in archive Outfits on August 29, 2008

Normally, I'm not big on leggings. At all. Under any circumstances. However, I realize that this is one style - not always in, but sometimes up for resurrection - that some women simply adore. Fine. I know they're easy and while I'm all for easy, I've had the misfortune of seeing too many people wear leggings way past the decade they were considered fashionable.

However, if you have a pair (or two or three) sitting in your closet and you just can't let them go, let's see what kind of top you could wear with them to make them OK.

I saw this pink wrap sweater and thought this was a viable option.

The sweater comes past your hips, which is what you need with leggings. Unless you're running on a track, there's no need for you to wear a short and/or tight top with them. File that under athletic gear and that's a topic for another day.

However, unlike the sloppy sweatshirt, this sweater has some structure to it. And it's not fussy, for you easy-breezy types.
