Daily Fashion Tip- How to Wear Printed Leggings

                                   
Printed Legging have being around for a while but only became common recently in this part of the world. Leggings come in a wide variety of colors and patterns and if you are creative you will have fun styling them. Their price range is between N2,000 to N10,000 or more depending on the quality and designer but don't worry if you can't afford that. There are affordable first grade second hand (Okrika) leggings you can get between N500 and N600 only (yep, I have done my research, lol).

Please I want to also advise that you either go for the quality leggings or the second hand ones. Most cheap leggings are of low quality and can easily tear or lose so save yourself the embarrassment. The Patterned leggings are almost everywhere this season, they come in different patterns and their colorful trend is definitely worth trying. But before we check out some tips on how to style them,  here are TWO VERY IMPORTANT RULES TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN WEARING LEGGINGS.


  •   Leggings shouldn’t be too tight or too loose. Just right.
  •  Leggings are not , I repeat, not the same as trousers.  They are best worn as part of a layered outfit. If you step out of your house with leggings and a tee-shirt, people will wonder where rest of your outfit is. Leggings are meant to be worn under clothing.
Having said that, here are some tips on styling patterned leggings.

1. Pair printed leggings with a long top that covers your backside. Chambray shirts, blazers, blouses and boyfriend sweaters are great options.

2. Pair them with solid colors. Mixing a patterned leggings with a patterned top will look too busy. Plain tops are usually the best when it comes to patterned leggings.

3. Keep accessories to a minimum. Let your leggings be the centre of attention. Too many accessories can be overwhelming. 

4. Leggings can be worn with a number of different types of shoes. Boots, flats, and heels all work.
