Get a LEG Up!

I am short and bow-legged. Skinny jeans, cigarette jeans, leggings, they just aren’t for me. But the trend is too great for me right now not to go for it. And so I have. I am LOVING it. I even have some fun ones with gold zipper on the leg. The key is knowing how to wear them. And maybe that is why I love it this go round and didn’t dig it on me in the past. Good Housekeeping has some tips on how to look great in leggings. But before you take a look, remember part of looking great is embracing yourself, bowl-legs and all and and celebrating what make you unique. Here are the tips…
- Gather ’round. Don’t swap opaque tights for leggings — unless you want your panties to show through! Go with full-coverage leggings with ruching at the ends for a little flair.
- Genius impostor. Trade in your worn-out jeans for denim leggings that are even more comfortable! Go for styles with studs or appliques to draw attention to your legs.
- Branch out. Inject some color into your wardrobe, staring with your leggings! No need to stick to basic black; just be sure to pair bright leggings with neutral-colored tops.
Get a Leg Up. Choose leggings with luxe detail (like velvet piping) — great for evening.
