How to Wear Leggings for Nearly Any Occasion


The rise of athleisiure has made leggings a fixture of our wardrobes for many years now. And with comfortable clothing still a top priority for many shoppers, the silhouette remains a go-to choice for work, play and everything in between (even countless celebrities like Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid and Karlie Kloss still can’t get enough of their leggings).To get more news about Full Length Legging, you can visit destgjshop.com official website.

Yes, there are plenty of technical workout leggings that prioritize performance, but a growing number of clothing and intimates brands like Spanx, Wolford and Nadaam are also offering styles in more luxurious textures including cashmere, faux leather and velvet that are perfect for evening events or days spent in-office. Today’s leggings also come in a range of lengths and silhouettes, depending on the activity you plan to use them for or your aesthetic preference.
Even after finding the right pair for your needs, however, the pieces you style it with are just as important to ensure your look is both occasion-appropriate and effortlessly chic. To help de-mystify this often puzzling equation, we consulted FN’s Style Director Shannon Adducci to discover exactly how to wear leggings the modern way, for nearly every occasion.

The legging may seem like a sport-centric item, but fashion’s recent obsession with bodywear says otherwise,” says Adducci. “Think curve-hugging full-length catsuits and high-heeled sandals a là Cardi B or the classic leggings-and-stilettos pairing that has traversed through the ‘80s to the aughts to now.”

A pair of vibrant leggings is the perfect companion to some glitzy heels done in complementary hues, but a black option can also feel evening-ready when done in sleek fabrics and styled with stilettos.

Other popular leggings-and-heel combos include stirrup-style leggings and pointed-toe pumps for an of-the-moment layered look.The controversial 2000s-era trend of wearing dresses over pants is back, and with the right styling, Adducci says it can apply to leggings, too. The trick, she says, is to keep colors neutral and completely matching — or go for a full-on statement with double the color. Platform boots or summer sandals are the best pairings, as they’ll add some polish to the look to prevent it from venturing into kitschy territory.

If the current Y2K aesthetic is really your speed, consider rolling up a pair of full-length leggings and pairing them with kitten heels and a mini bag. “Rolling up the legging to show more ankle is a direct reference to the decade’s obsession with the capri pant,” Adducci suggests. (Of course, you can also opt for a capri option, but the former method is perfect for those who already own a classic pair of leggings and want to double dip with the style.)

Leggings can work for more casual office environments, but black pairs are always the most office-appropriate. To make them better blend in with the rest of your outfit and elevate the look, add on a coordinating black blazer, coat or sweater. Ideally, Adducci mentions these pieces should cover the waistband and the hip and butt area for modesty. And, “make sure your black leggings are truly opaque,” she says. “Ask someone close to you to assess for you in bright lighting if you’re unsure.” Black stirrup silhouettes are also a great option for the office.

Looking to get a little extra creative with your leggings outfit? “Mirror the look of Balenciaga’s cult Knife boots and poke a pair of stiletto pumps through the back of close-footed leggings or stockings for an unexpected and elongating look,” Adducci says. “Just be sure that you’re ok with keeping the hole in the legwear — this is a permanent styling technique!”
