Before we even begin, we have to be clear about this – leggings are not pants, so don’t treat them like pants. They can look very chic, but only if you pair them right.
The best way to wear them is with super long shirts, dresses and skirts. Still, leggings are not the best option for every occasion. They’re very casual, comfy and look best as a part of an everyday outfit.
Leggings and Tunics
Leggings look great with long shirts and tunics. Make sure the tunic you choose is long enough, for it should cover your hips and derriere.
If you like printed leggings, be careful not to overdo it. Wear printed leggings with simple shirts, or choose a colorful shirt and a simple pair of leggings.
Tight leggings look very cute with ballerina flats; choose a pair in a bright color to create the perfect summer look. Accessorize your outfit with an everyday bag and some jewelry.

Leggings and Dresses
Leggings can look very chic with casual dresses. If you choose leggings in a dark shade, pair them with a dress in a bright summer color – fuchsia, red, blue…
If you’re going for a cool, punkish look, choose leather or faux leather leggings. Pair them with some matching items – studded moccasins and a leather tote bag.
Don’t forget your statement accessories – a multi chain necklace and a cute ring.

Leggings and Skirts
Pairing leggings with skirts can seem predictable, but it can be very effective. Choose a simple black skirt and leggings, a top with a fun print and a nice colored blazer.
Accessorize with a color-blocking bag, ballerina flats and a piece of jewelry. This outfit is simple, very comfortable and, most importantly, effective!
