CollegeProbz: Why Dressing in Leggings Every Day Isn’t Too Cute After All

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UFL chapter.

Leggings: basically every girl’s best friend. It’s the friend that’s always there for you and the friend you can always depend on, but when is it time to let this friend go? Well, I don’t entirely believe in letting go of leggings in general because, let’s be honest, they can be some of the most comfortable pants that you find in your closet. Although they may be quite comfortable, and we might wear them almost too often, is there a time where leggings need to be put aside? Dressing for success isn’t just a cheesy saying that your teacher tells you to make you a better person, it actually works.

Think about it.

When you take the time to get ready in the morning, and you put more of an effort in your outfit, your day tends to be a little bit better. I am a firm believer that if your outfit is good, you feel good, which brings me back to the issue of leggings. Yes, leggings are practical and comfortable, but are they making your day any better? Instead of putting on your favorite pair of Forever 21 leggings, put on a t-shirt dress or a trendy pair of high-waisted jeans.

Instead of wearing leggings, try going for something a little different. You won’t believe how it will impact your day.

1. Your Mood Will Improve

Once you put on your outfit of the day, your mood instantly changes. Instead of dreading the day, you’re looking forward to walking on campus to flaunt your latest attire.

2. You’ll Bring Out Your Inner Fashionista

Once you let go of the legging fashion, you’ll adapt to more unique fashion choices that you’ve never even thought of attempting before.

3. There Will Still Be Days For Leggings

Even though you have now become a fashionista, there are still going to be those days when rocking leggings is the only way to do it.

You can still rock those leggings, but adding other options to your wardrobe can really impact your life in a positive way. Stay looking great, collegiette™s!
