Leggings, Jeggings, and Footless Tights

Why Are Leggings a Viable Legwear Option?

Leggings have a long history that didn't just start because of exercise videos from the 1980s, though that is when they became wildly popular. Original leggings were used hundreds of years ago and mostly by men during exercise, specifically in the military. Nowadays, many legging-lovers are unfortunately experiencing negation connotations that leggings can't be worn like pants. However, leggings can be just as stylish as any pair of pants, and certainly more comfortable.

Make Sure You Have Leggings, Not Tights

If you can see through the material at all, then you likely have tights, not leggings. If you want to make a style statement through the appropriate wearing of leggings, then avoid any see through materials that hinders convincing those naysayers. It also gives your look more class.

There Are Leggings for Every Occasion

If you want to keep it casual or exercise, you can of course go for traditional black footless leggings. They're comfortable and for some can even double as pajamas. But if you'd like to create a stylish outfit out of leggings, opt for pieces that include fun patterns, textures, or even leather. They can be paired with boots, high heels, or day tennis shoes. Leggings also go especially well under oversized sweaters or t-shirts that are too short to be worn on their own as well as under jean shorts. Capri-style leggings help liven up your everyday attire and are just as trendy as original capris. Overall, leggings out of different materials and style patterns can make it possible to wear them appropriately and fashionably all year round.

Jeggings Vs. Skinny Jeans

Though they may seem to be similar, there is actually a big difference between jeggings and skinny jeans. Skinny jeans are just that: jeans made to look skinny. While the the skinny trend is in right now, sometimes this look doesn't work for everyone. Not to mention it's neither comfortable, nor flexible. The better option is jeggings because you get the stylish look of form-fitting jeans, but still retain the comfort of leggings. The fabric in jeggings is much more forgiving than jeans and helps to keep everything tucked in rather than smushed into place.
