Choosing leggings might sound shallow because it is the most versatile piece of clothing in our closet we can comfortably wear throughout the year. Yes, if you know the basics, it’s not such a big deal, but if you do not wear them correctly, you might just end up with an unappealing front exposure (camel toe) Let’s remember that leggings are not pants.
Size and Fit
Leggings can either be too snugged or too loose. Make sure they fit your body perfectly and around your waist because leggings cannot be worn with belts of scarves, it’s necessary that the leggings fit correctly.
Measure your Waist, Hips and Tights and be mindful of the makers measurements and your own body.
Fabrics are Important
Lycra (Spandex) and Poly/Cotton blends are the most common fabrics for leggings, but stretched leather, pleather even suede are other interesting fabrics you may try. These fabrications are stylish and make for a perfect up-style look.

Putting your Leggings On:
Most people tend to put on leggings without much thought and pull it from the waist to accommodate the fit.
We recommend leggings to be worn as you do with stockings.
Roll them to your legs securing all the fabric first at the ankles, pull the fabric towards your calves as much material as you can and continue like so until you reach your tights and hips, then you pull them out to your waist. Material should always be moved towards the top of your body.
That will help the leggings to stay in place and not slide down!
And remember to wear the correct undergarments. Seamless is always better!
