Contrary to most male’s popular belief, women wear leggings for comfort and style, not to have our butts checked out. (I do not do enough squats to have a butt worthy of showing off to begin with.) However, if you are one of the lucky ones, blessed with a Beyonce booty, you go girl. Leggings were practically made for you. With that said, I will write about 5 different ways to wear leggings despite the size of your behind. I don’t discriminate.
The thing I love most about leggings is their versatility. I can’t think of a type of outfit I haven’t worn them with. From the going-out outfits to the hungover mess/definitely didn’t look in the mirror before I went out in public outfits. And I will be covering all of those. Despite the big Lululemon scandal about yoga moms being able to see other yoga mom’s underwear due to the sheerness of the leggings, I still swear by them. They are the perfect thickness, length, and style. The stitching isn’t everywhere, just on the inside of the leg and around the hip. I also am almost positive they are not actually see through. So ladies, if you haven’t already, head over to your local Lululemon (there are like 100 in Boston) and buy a pair. Or five.
Now that we have covered the essentials, we can start putting together endless stylish outfits. Here are my favorites:
1. The cute(?) hungover mess situation
Wearing a shirt that says #Selfie really lets people know how good your night was. Oh also that you’re fun and really don’t care about much. Tie the flannel around your waist because that look is trendy. Just do it.
2. The casual chic look
The big floppy hat is always a good call. Blocks out the haters.
3. The studious school girl look
A shirt with a collar is a must have to achieve this look. A collar says I love learning and doing my homework. It also should give you the courage to tell your professor you love her shoes (when in reality you hate them so much they kind of make you nauseous). The glasses are great too, because they just make you smarter. They literally make you better at math. I swear.
4. The dressy look
Most of you may be thinking I’m losing my marbles, because I think I can make a dressy outfit with leggings. And to that I say: no, you just don’t have any marbles. Also you should definitely purchase these awesome moto leggings from a great company called A Ruby. They are super comfortable and a little more dressy than your average legging. Their website is: www.ARuby.net
5. The sporty look
Honestly this look is really endless. You can wear leggings when you are actually feeling athletic and go work out. Or you can just wear this outfit so people think that you hit the gym on the regular.
I hope that this helps expand your ability to wear your leggings more this year.
Stay stylish BU
