Leggings - possible to wear it with dignity?

Filed in archive Fashion and Style on July 9, 2007

As you must know by now, I do not consider leggings a piece of art, or even a noteworthy item, and I for one avoid wearing the thing. If you have leg issues (too short, too chubby, too whatever), in fact, if you have legs any thicker than a runway model, you might look ridiculous wearing leggings.

But, if you really want to surf the legging wave, and as I can see, leggings are becoming even office-appropriate, I would suggest bellow the knee or even half calf legging length. You know, like cropped pants or capris. The full length ones, which stop just above the ankle, rarely really flatter one's physique.

You can get:

	Blue leggings - >Danskin Micro Fiber Cropped Leggings Tights - Isn't royal blue in right now? If you're going to wear the legging, maybe it makes sense to have in the IT color.
	Sheer leggings - Pretty Polly Sheer Picot Trim Capri Leggings - These look like cut pantyhose. And believe it or not, I even like them a bit.
	Chocolate leggings - Alice + Olivia Tubular Leggings - Almost black at the first glance. To wear when black leggings look too dark, or during daytime.
