Leggings are the new chic! Lately, I’ve been finding myself wearing leggings more and more often. I always viewed them as loungewear because they’re infamously comfortable but they are actually very chic. Because they have become so popular, they now come in all different colors, patterns, and styles. We’ve already covered how to wear classic black leggings (see previous post: Style Dare: How To Wear Leggings Appropriately), but do the same type tips apply to colored or patterned leggings?
This is exactly what our next Style Dare is all about!
I Dare You…
Amanda from Colorado asked:
“How can I wear colored leggings? I just bought a few pairs but I don’t know what to wear them with.  Can you post this as a Style Dare?”

HOW TO WEAR COLORED LEGGINGS 
Colored and patterned leggings are everywhere right now, but they can be a little tricky to style in a flattering way. Stick with our tips and you’ll look chic every time! 
1- Stick with Dark Hues
Dark hues are definitely your best bet when it comes to wearing colored leggings! They’re slimming and it’s much easier to style. My favorite dark ‘color’ hues are: burgundy, pine, and navy. 
2- Consider Your Body Type
This is an important aspect of choosing any outfit. After all, who wants to wear something that’s unflattering? Most of us enjoy dressing to look our best, so it’s absolutely counter productive when our outfit does just the opposite. 
Are you a little curvy? Try basic, dark hued leggings for a slimming effect. Do you have long, thin legs? Try patterned leggings to give the illusion of curves.
3- Choose An Otherwise Neutral Color Palette
Allow your colored leggings to be a pop of color by keeping the rest of your color palette neutral. Colored or patterned pants definitely have the tendency to be loud. This step will help tame your look and keep it chic!

    Ive never considered colourful leggings but your approach is really fresh and I completely agree, darker hughes would work best without ending up looking like a 3 year old! xx

    These are great tips! Especially dressing for your body. I am a little on the curvy side and have the hardest time finding any pair of light colors bottoms whether it be leggings or jeans that don't look rough on me!
