Leggings are pretty much the best thing ever invented. We love wearing our leggings as pants, because nothing is more comfortable! Sometimes, though, wearing all black every single day can get boring. So when your leggings rip (it’s inevitable, tbh) or when you get sick of being unable to differentiate between pairs, it’s time to think about spicing your leggings up. Don’t throw out the leggings that you’re bored of—just get crafty with them!
