Winter has arrived, and deciding what to wear can become an every morning battle; Do I want to look cute today or do I want to stay warm? Luckily, a new trend has hit the streets that answers “Yes!” to both of those questions!

Pattered leggings are the perfect mix of cute and comfy, with an extra plus for warmth. Pair them with any oversized sweater or shirt and you’ve got yourself a dazzling winter outfit. But there’s a fine line between finding the right pair of leggings and finding the WRONG pair!

Here are my “Dos and Don’ts” when shopping for your next pair of pattered winter leggings:

 

DOS:

  • Keep your top simple. You’ve got enough pattern on your legs, there’s no need to take it to the extreme and add a crazy top!
  • Keep your shoes simple too. Tuck your leggings into a cute pair of Steve Madden boots that are a solid color. Make sure your colored boots are the same color scheme as your leggings!
  • Dress up your top a little. Leggings can look like pajamas if not worn the right way. Add a cute sweater and a statement necklace to spice up your comfy outfit!
  • Be confident! It’s always good to step out of your comfort zone when it comes to fashion. Take a chance; you’re likely to rock your newfound outfit.

 

DON’TS

  • Choose a pair of leggings that are flattering for your legs. Galaxy leggings aren’t for everyone, so find the pattern that is meant for you!
  • Choose a pair of leggings that are see-through! Trust me, nobody wants to see your underwear when you walk!
  •  If your leggings aren’t the right size, don’t wear them! Wearing too big of leggings is better than wearing too tight of leggings.

 

All in all, patterned leggings are the perfect way to stay comfy and cute during the winter. Don’t let the “don’ts” of leggings discourage you; anyone can rock them, there are just a couple things one shouldn’t wear with them.

Happy Holidays!
