this summer. At what age should you stop wearing leggings? Whatever your age leggings work, you will know yourself when the times up but most importantly it’s what you wear with them that counts. You don’t want to look frumpy, think glamour or sophistication. Go for a layered look, long tunic with a short cardigan accentuating your best features and to create the tall slim image elongating your body and wear heels if you’re short or pumps if you can without looking frumpy. Colours are important too, plain tops look more expensive than patterned tunics. I think confidence is the bottom line to wearing leggings, you need to feel confident in anything you wear, if you don’t then don’t wear it! Those of you who are on the larger size or you know that you just can’t wear them, then don’t worry. Go for opaque tights or wear your favourite jeans, you want your legs to look their best. Opaque tights do give a better silhouette and look fabulous with boots in winter or heels or flat pumps for the summer time. If you have short legs and long body you must balance out your proportions and make your legs look longer with heels or wedges, making sure you’re not wearing a top or dress which is too long. Leggings are great, you can now buy jeggins the jean style fabric leggings, these are fabulous, I wore a pair all winter which went with everything. For the summer, I am hoping white or pastel coloured ones will be available. Look great with heels, boots or sandals! Enjoy your leggings, confidence is everything – look good and feel great, ready for the day ahead.
