The Leggings Debate

      When leggings first came back into style, they were meant to be worn underneath things, such as a skirt , dress, or a long type of shirt. Slowly this style has changed and now leggings are worn as just pants. That's okay in some cases, but sometimes it's NOT. I also don't want to offend anybody, this is just how I feel on the subject.

Legging Prints:

 NOT : Galaxy print , camouflage, cross leggings, and cheetah print. These trends are an eye sore and are definitely out of style.I'm on the fence about comic book leggings and pin stripes, but I think you can get away with it. If you want to be edgy or different with these type of leggings your not, everyone has them.

HOW TO : Make royalty your legging inspiration because what girl doesn't want to be a queen?  Pick rich floral leggings, paisley print in luscious colors and my ultimate fav, the tropical pattern.Do you have more of a girly style ? Try boho leggings, it's a different twist on the basic Aztec and tribal prints, try something new!

The Black Leggings :

Black leggings are BLACK ! BLACK does not match with everything ! Remember that jeans still exist, and if you think that jeans are too uncomfortable then wear jeggings. I saw this girl with a beautiful peach blouse on with a gold chain, and it was ruined by her wearing black leggings ! You would look so much better in white pants, some nice skinnys or any kind of jeans ! Let your outfit go to it's full potential or don't even bother putting it on.

Transparent Pants:

*psst* leggings are totally see through about 90% of the time. Invest in some spandex to wear underneath them, it's better to be safe then sorry. Spandex also makes it more comfortable when you're wearing leggings, because they can  be so tight on your legs. Girls walk around with thongs on because they are afraid of panty lines but not afraid of everyone seeing their butt ! What's worse? Everyone seeing your panty lines or your butt completely ?

I'm not completely against leggings, I own 26 pairs. However, how to wear them without looking trashy is key. Go for it because the leggings truly go with your outfit, NOT to show off your butt. I like to wear my leggings with long sweaters, crew necks, cardigans ect. What I am in love with is tying tee shirts and muscle tees in different ways with my leggings. I am also buying a lot of bright colors for spring, like turquoise blue, tropical pink and some white, that will give my look just the pop of color it needs.
