Leggings – comfy, but not necessarily known as stylish. I remember the time first I wore leggings as pants, eager to throw my low rise jeans deep into my closet. They were paper thin and little did I know I was giving the world a show of my (not so hot) love of cotton undies. Since then, the legging has evolved as a wardrobe staple for most us. Now they come in all shapes and sizes, from pleather to jeggings. The same primal concern still haunts all of us, wondering if we look lazy or are giving a virtual peep show. No need to worry, I have found 6 tried and true approaches to wearing leggings while looking cute!
