Fabulous Fashion: The skinny on leggings

    Leggings are fashion forward this fall. Celebrities like Sarah Jessica Parker, Kate Bosworth (fredgal), Sienna Miller (thequickanddirtydirty), Charlize Theron (denimideas), and Miley Cyrus (leathergirlsblog) have been spotted wearing leggings.
     They are being worn with all types of clothing like over-sized t-shirts, dresses, tunics, and tailored shirts. Some people are even wearing leggings under their shorts. Leggings can be made dressy or casual. Some leggings have accents of lace, leather, and gold or diamond studs; and some are just solid colors.
   Leggings can be worn with different types of shoes depending on the style you are aiming for. Ankle boots or heels can be worn with them to get a more chic and dressy look. If you are going for a more relaxed look you can wear flip flops, sandals or ballerina flats.
     One kind of legging that is popular this fall is the jean legging, or "jeggings." These leggings are like a pair of really tight skinny jeans, but they are extremely stretchy and comfortable. Some brands even go as far as adding fake zipper stitching in the front and pockets in the back, while others are just a plain denim legging.
   Although leggings can look super cute and fashionable, they can also look distasteful at times. You should NOT wear a short shirt with leggings. Leggings are not a substitute for pants. So, please be classy and wear a shirt long enough to cover the rear.
     Leggings are perfect for those fall days when the weather is slightly chilly. Whether you are making a quick trip to Starbucks or having a night out on the town, leggings are a perfect fit.
