Style Inspiration: How To Wear Striped Leggings?

Stripes had a big presence throughout the Spring 2013 collections from various designers. Patterned/striped leggings are a versatile piece of any woman's wardrobe, but not every woman understands how to wear them properly. Striped leggings are generally seen in comfortable, rocker, and trendy style. Follow tips on how to make sure you're wearing your striped leggings stylishly.

Take a look at some snapshots below for style inspiration!

Extend your legs: This can be done in many ways, but wearing heels or wedges is probably the easiest. Ballet flats will look great also, especially with cropped styles. Pair the leggings with low or high black boots. Or pair them with close-toed shoes with a little bit of a heel. Matching crop tops: Solid colors and slimming silhouettes will nicely complement the boldness of your pants. Sometimes patterned bottoms can have a tendency to look like pajama pants, especially if you go with a chino-styled cut. Counteract this by pairing them with something neat and dressy up crop top. A dress shirt and blazer would accomplish this perfectly!

Leggings aren’t pants: You can still feel comfortable while looking classy with a well-covered backside. An oversized jumper, a dress, skirt, shorts– anything that goes past the curve of your hips is appropriate and makes for a tastefully chic outfit. You don’t want to leave yourself vulnerable to ridicule or an embarrassing camel-toe situation!

Make sure your leggings are long enough: You may have looked perfect in your perfect black leggings once upon a time, but after you've run them through the wash about a hundred times, you may notice that they rise a few inches above your ankles.

Be confident: As with almost every fashion trend, those around you can sense whether you feel good in something or not. Carry yourself with some SWAGGER, people will admire your bold sense of style!
