With so many shoes being more matched to naked feet and fewer ladies wearing hose and tights, knowing how to wear leggings with a dress helps when you do not want to have entirely bare legs.
On the face of it, this is simple – just put on the leggings, toss the dress on over them, and go.
When You Wear Leggings Every Day, This Is What Happens
You also want to be sure you get the style and length right and do not look silly when you are trying to look sophisticated, anyway.
Tips for pairing leggings and dresses
The general rule is to keep it easy.
If the leggings are a pattern or color you will not wear as tights, do not wear them.
Also, bear in mind that it is an inherently new look.
That is not to say that you cannot wear leggings with a vintage dress, but you should be alert you will project a combination of styles.
You can wear leggings with almost any dress. There are some things to keep in mind, though:
Fabric
Any skirt and fabric shape can be filtered with leggings.
Heavier, stiffer fabrics like corduroy and denim may work a little excellent since that is less likely to cling to the legging material.
If you pick a lighter skirt fabric, one thing to watch out for is the leggings’ waistband.
Look for flat waistbands, so the outline does not present via the skirt, mainly if the skirt sits higher on your waist than the leggings do.
Fit
Tight leggings under dresses work excellent. Looser leggings run the risk of making you look saggy.
They do, anyway, work under a highly loose, flowing dress.
In this case, they should match in fabric and style—much the way a Punjabi suit does.
