How to Wear Leggings With Dresses Plus Size
Leggings are tight, skinny, and show everything, so there's no way a plus size 40+ gal could ever wear them, right?….
…..NOT! Leggings are a great casual look for mature women, whether you are regular or full-figured. It's all in the way you wear them. Here are some pointers to get you past your mental block.
1. Wear High-Quality Leggings
If you want to look fabulous in leggings, go the elegant route. High-quality plus-size leggings are the keys. There are many different types including activewear (yoga) leggings, thicker Ponte leggings, faux leather leggings, jeggings (denim leggings), velvet leggings..the list goes on.
Whichever ones you choose, make sure they are decently opaque, well made, slim-fitting, and that they stretch, but not too much! They need to hold you in, and smooth out any lumps and bumps without losing their shape. A high, wide waistband also helps immensely to give you a sleek, sexy look.
2. Avoid Short Tops with Leggings
You've probably heard this a million times and here are my thoughts. The best tops to wear with leggings are tops that cover your bottom and yes, your crotch! That sounds kind of crass, but it is the truth!
Keep your private parts private because leggings tend to show everything. The exception might be if you are wearing a really thick Ponte legging, (more like pants), but even then, a longer top worn with leggings is a more flattering silhouette.
The ideal length of the top to wear with your plus-size leggings hits anywhere from just below the groin (and your bottom at the back) to a few inches above the knee. The exact spot is going to differ based on your proportions and the style of the top. The sweater above is a good length if you want to downplay your thighs.
If you are short, keep your top on the shorter side because if the top is too long it will drown you and make your legs look even shorter.
Tops for leggings could include a long sweater, tunic shirt, or vest. High low tops- shorter in the front and longer in the back are very popular. There are so many choices!
3. Wear Slimming, Colors
In winter, black, charcoal gray, dark brown or navy leggings are lovely. The shades make a great backdrop for a pretty top and the darker colors slim your bottom half.
In summer, you can wear still wear black leggings but they can look and feel hot. In this case, try white jeggings which are more popular than white leggings because they are more opaque but not heavy.
To look really tall and slim in leggings try a monochromatic look such as all black or all navy but be sure to vary the textures to keep your head-to-toe solid color outfit from looking boring. For example, you could wear a black velvet top with black Ponte leggings. See above (left).
Like to dress more colorfully? Wear light or bright top with dark leggings to draw attention up to your pretty face.
4. Steer Clear of Clunky Footwear
To create elegant leggings look, you need the right footwear.
There are so many shoes that look great with leggings including ballet flats, smoking slippers, slides, mules, flat or low sandals, sneakers, booties, etc.
The main thing to remember is to avoid heavy, clunky shoes which will make you look frumpy. Also stay away from sky-high skinny stilettos, unless you want to look like a 19-year-old on her way to a nightclub.
A shoe that exposes your foot like a low-medium strappy sandal, or a cute ballet flat is very flattering because it reveals more skin on the top of the foot, which makes your legs appear longer.
On the other hand, statement sneakers ( slip on or lace up) can look super cute if you are after a sporty look. Just don't wear heavy, clunky track shoes.
5. Own the Look
One final note – You have to want to wear leggings to look good in them, so if they are not on your radar, don't even go there. Leggings are not for everyone.
