Leggings question

[1yeartogo]

I feel like I always ask the dumbest fashion questions, but how do you wear leggings without looking terrible. I have a handful of leggings and would like to wear them with tall boots since there is no bunching, etc. but I always feel self conscious. I only have couple of sweaters that are longer and fully cover my butt and anything higher feels flashy. Also im thin and have a thigh gap... I feel like it looks like camel toe even if it's just the pants seam since the leggings aren't too small/tight. So how do you wear them? Only with a long sweater or am I just too self conscious.

True leggings I wear with dresses, tunics, and long tops. Legging jeans are more forgiving & modest IMO so I think they can be worn with a slightly shorter top if you are comfortable with it. Me, with my bum? I'm not LOL.

Longer sweaters and tunics. You can find long tees and tanks everywhere now that can be layered with other pieces and leggings,

I usually pair legging with dresses that are a bit too short to be worn alone because I may flash people. I agree that jeggings are a bit more forgiving for top length.

So I think my answer is I need to invest in a few more tunic style tops/sweaters to create some leggings and boots looks.

I used to feel the same. I had to ease into it with the jeggings. Now I can wear plain black leggings with longer tops. I think a long top layered over a tank or something helps you feel not so exposed. Tall boots help. Then there's what maybe 8-10" of legging showing if that? (I'm short so there's usually not much!)

To ease into it you might try wearing dresses with leggings first, then try longer tops and sweaters as you feel more comfortable.

Also so many girls would kill for thigh gap so I wouldn't worry about that!

This exactly. Love this dress, but only with leggings:



I pretty much only wear with shirt dresses/tunics.

I LOVE leggings and pretty much live in them all winter. They feel like wearing pajamas!

I just make sure my butt and crotch are covered. That's how I feel comfortable wearing them. I own a lot of tunics, sweater dresses, long cardigans, and long sweaters that meet this criterion. Most places sell longer sweaters/tunics, but one place I have found a lot is Old Navy.
