what to wear with - tights/leggings

this will be a quick blog post, but one of my friends requested this, so i took that challenge.

what to wear with tights/leggings

we've all seen those unfortunate outfits where someone's tights or leggings are wayy to sheer for what they're wearing, so here are 3 rules i stick too when getting dressed.


1. my skirt should be longer than where my finger tips end.

personally i dont know how girls wear short skirts... i do not like feeling like my bum is hanging out. so when i wear skirts or dresses i like to make sure the length is appropriate. i let my arm hang down and where the tip of my fingers ends is where the skirt length should (at the very least) be.

if that is the case you can get away with sheer tights

 

if you're tights have a control waist or short on them make sure your dress/ skirt length covers that...

2. leggings are not pants.

let me repeat... leggings are not pants.. not for any occasion unless you're going to the gym.

if you wear leggings make sure the length of your top covers your bum. often times with alot of wear leggings can tend to become sheer so make sure to keep your bum covered so nothing gets revealed...

for a comfy look, i like to wear leggings with a sweater dress or a tunic style shirt/sweater. this way your look is appropriate, but you still feel comfortable.


also a rule of thumb. don't wear leggings to your workplace. leggings are considered leisure-wear. so slip them on after work or when you're going out.


3. make sure the outfit you are wearing with your tights or leggings is age appropriate and modest.

heres my opinion. when you wear something that is age appropriate you will look far better than if you're dressing too young or old for your age. and modesty is crucial. you may feel sexy in that too short hemline... but most likely you're making others around you uncomfortable. its better to conceal than reveal. stay true to yourself and look presentable and stick to an outfit that you feel genuinely comfortable in, not something you think you need to wear. leggings and tights can get tricky because its can be hard to know what looks good and what doesn't, just stick to a modest and comfortable outfit and you'll look great!
