Different Ways to Wear Leggings

I've randomly surfing the net and found this article that good for us to know what is the purpose of legging and how to accentuate it. Enjoy~

Wear Leggings With a Micromini

If you have a micromini that you wouldn’t be caught dead wearing by itself, leggings are the perfect way to go. Go for bold colors or stick to black - whichever suits you best. If you want to look slimmer, stick to darker colors!

Wear Leggings During Your Workout

There are leggings out there that will actually make you look thinner (think of control-top pantyhose) - there are leggings that do just that. Wear those babies during your workout, or when you’re feeling bloated.

Wear Leggings to Show Off Your Assets

If you’re on the shorter side, stay away from cropped leggings as they will make you look shorter. If you’re heavier on the bottom, choose black leggings paired with a bright top which will attract the attention to your face instead of your bottom area.

Wear Leggings to Impress

These days, you can get fancy, lacy leggings that you can wear to a more sophisticated event. Buy a pair with lace detail and pair with a short dress/skirt or jersey for a chic look. You may need to add a waist belt to balance off the look. Don’t forget the heels!

Wear Leggings to Look Edgy

You’ve probably seen the leggings with the zipper detail at the bottom in stores by now. These will give you an edge without having to try too hard. Wear them with flats during the day and with heels at night.

Wear Leggings to Show Off Your Shoes

Need I say more? Leggings are the perfect item for you to wear when you’ve got a pair of shoes you really want people to notice.

How to dress 10 pounds thinner?

Start with the butt - Your bottom and hips will always look thinner when you are dressed in a solid color and it doesn't even have to be black it can be a beautiful incandescent hot pink if you like but solids tend to slim where other patterns don't. Now a lot of us don't go around wearing patterned pants but a lot of us wear patterned dresses and skirts - so be warned.

De-emphasize your waist - If you are trying to deemphasize your waist and or your middle then avoid crop jackets because they break up your natural lines rather then help you create long, lean lines.

Smaller bust - if you are small busted then try for some wrap shirts, which will give you the illusion of a bigger bust and smaller waist.

Big hips - go for some flat front pants, which are always a winner.

Big hips - don't be afraid to go for a black pencil skirt with black hose. It will make your hips do a disappearing act.

Big Bust - avoid lighter colors on top for they will over-emphasize your bust size and go for a geometric-shaped top with a slim pant and you will have a more balanced look.

Trying to play up your waist - try a slightly raised waist that tends to make the torso look narrower and a flared skirt which also makes the waist look narrower.

Unless you are a super model avoid horizontal stripes.

Only buy a pleated skirt if the pleats are stitched down and don't bunch up at the waist adding thickness.
