We could go on and on about how much we love leggings anytime of the year, but we especially adore them when the chilly weather comes. There are many who say that leggings have no place in the world outside of a gym, but we know better, don’t we? Though style is a personal thing, there are a few musts and a few must-nots when warming up your gams with leggings this winter. 

When choosing your leggings and choosing the outfit you’ll make them a part of, remember: 

• Don’t go crazy with loud patterns or glaring colors. Egyptian hieroglyphics have no place on your pants, nor do neon greens and hot yellows. If you do have a hot-pink-zebra print that you simply must wear, tone down the rest of the outfit with basic black.  
• Do consider playing with neutral patterns and rich colors. Try the muted floral design on HUE Botanical Microsuede leggings, which will bring an air of fun to your fashion. If going for something beyond basic black, consider something rich like a pair of opaque plum leggings with a satin gloss, such as those by Anica. 
• Don’t toss on a t-shirt and call it an outfit. This look is boring and kind of sloppy, even for Saturday shopping. One of the best things about wearing leggings is that you get a fantastic opportunity to explore the shorter hemlines of dresses or skirts that might not be acceptable otherwise. 
• Do consider trying a leather-like style legging. Though leather pants can be intimidating, leatherette leggings are the perfect way to break into the rock-style slowly. They look great under that short skirt, too! Try Eco-Friendly Leather Pant leggings that are sleek, sexy, and ready to rock. 
• Don’t pair your leggings with a crop top or something clingy. This is a look that leaves too little to the imagination. Plus, it’ll make you look like you just stepped out of a video from a late 1980’s hair-band and no one wants to rock that style in 2017.  
• Do pair your leggings with something that covers your behind. This in non-negotiable. A tunic style t-shirt is perfect if you are trying to go causal; an oversized top if you want to dress it up.  If you want to add an edge of warmth, try a long sweater, a poncho, or a sleek lightweight blazer. As long as they all cover your behind.  

No matter what you do and don’t do with your leggings, the most important thing is that you buy high-quality brands that will look great, feel amazing, and last even better.
