At the end of the 80s, leggings were very fashionable and were called "boxer shorts". Today, leggings are making a comeback and many stars have adopted them. We give you all the tips to be fashionable with leggings!

• Opt for loose-fitting pieces

Be careful, leggings are not worn in the same way as jeans. Indeed, leggings combined with a crop top or crop top can quickly make your outfit much more vulgar than you would have liked. It is therefore necessary to counter the too tight side of the leggings, for this reason favor longer pieces and not too close to the body. No matter the season, you will find the ideal piece to combine: an XXL wool sweater or a sweater dress for winter, a white shirt or boyfriend jeans in spring or a wide t-shirt in summer. Also avoid dressy tops which will go too far against the style of the leggings. Leggings are not pants, so your outfit will need to be tailored accordingly.

• Don't skimp on accessories

Although in any outfit it is necessary not to forget the accessories, with the leggings even more so! Without accessories, your outfit will look a little too simple and without much added value. Be careful, of course, not to fall into the way that is too bling. Pretty gold-colored earrings combined with a long pendant in long necklace style will do the trick very well.
If you like to take risks, you can also opt for a head accessory such as a headband to match your top, this will give a little more color to your outfit.

And let's not forget the handbag! A handbag will be more suitable to match your outfit, you will then find among others tote bags or bowling bags, a shoulder bag will tend to break the loose side of your top.

• Choosing the right shoes

It all depends on the look you want to exude. However, you should forget about ballerinas that will create a "packed" effect.
For a more casual style, opt for a pair of sneakers, it will give a rather casual side to your outfit. Stan smiths for example, or there's nothing to stop you from taking out your most beautiful pairs of sneakers: shiny, flowery, velvet...

For a more "winter fashion" look, opt for a pair of high-high thigh-high boots or a pair of ankle boots, combined with thick wool socks that will protrude well above the boots. In addition to keeping warm, thigh-high boots are very trendy.

For a rather "pretty woman" look, you can even opt for a pair of heels, without choosing vertiginous pumps, a pretty pair of heels will give a little chic side to your look.

• A light but existing make-up

To break the cocooning aspect of the leggings, it is important to take a minimum care of your face. Without going too superficial, 2 options are available to you: emphasize your eyes with a striking eyeshadow and in this case opt for nude lips or accentuate your lips with a red lipstick combined with just a little mascara for your eyes.
