Comfort And Style Combined In Women's Leggings

Are you a fan of wearing leggings. As a fashion trend, the leggings long have been around --- maybe around the 80's --- but recently the trend has started to boom and become popular again. A big part of the boom and renaissance of wearing stylish leggings is because of the ever-rising popularity of shoes and sneakers. Because today's  modern sneakers look really sharp and slick when worn with slim fit leggings, it has really created a new niche and it has made itself known again. In today's Instagram and Facebook age, where social media really plays a big role in the proliferation and popularization of existing fashion trends, it can be really easy to "hype up" certain styles. This has been one of the main reason why leggings have undergone this "revival" and "renaissance", but there are still so many reasons why people should love wearing leggings.



Although the leggings of the past were known to be thinner, while some are even considered "see through", today's leggings have undergone a complete overhaul that women all over the world can now enjoy its comfort without worrying about its appearance. As a matter of fact, leggings were shunned in the past because it was so thin and it was made of spandex that can sometimes be too and revealing. Today, however, leggings are so popular and they now come in a variety of prints, materials and cuts. Printed leggings such as abstract and florals dominate the market, while solid colored leggings still make their market.

When buying a leggings, you need to first define what is the intended use in order to find the leggings that will fulfill your needs. For example, if you are looking for a leggings that would look and fit like a normal jean, there is a style called "jeggings" that will fulfill your needs. On the other hand, if you want something slick and shiny, one that you can wear like those worn by celebrities without spending too much, faux leather leggings are your best friend. Just make sure that the feel is leather-like and not vinyl-like or plastic-like when you decide to purchase faux leather leggings in order to make the most out of it.

To extend your possibilities and your style, going with a pattern is a great way to go along with it. From floral, prisms, lines and other possible prints, you can definitely expand your wardrobe's potential by using prints. One of my most favorite prints are florals, but I try to avoid not overdoing it by not combining it with other printed tops. If I go for a printed leggings, I will most likely just  go for a plain or solid colored top to avoid going overboard with it.



At the end of the day, it is the comfort and the versatility given by leggings that make them really appealing to women of today. If you feel like trying out something new, this combination of skirt and leggings in one is a definite hit! Check out these skirt leggings from Babinpumkin and look at how ingenious this idea is :)

  1. It’s true that sneakers look really cool and stylish with leggings. I love the combination of my Puma shoes and my favorite beyond yoga leggings. Both are super comfortable to wear and look great when worn together. Add to that a nice branded sports bra and it completes the look perfectly.
