Leggings Are Not Pants

The use of leggings as pants has spread like wildfire over the last few years making it into a somewhat of a cultural norm. When it comes to fashion there are no rules it is your body and you should dress however you like following trends can get extremely boring however when it comes to wearing leggings as pants a big no no unless you do it the right way....
Leggings are meant for layering something used to dress up an outfit or making a shirt seem like dress. I understand the convenience and the comfort factor leggings have believe me but having your ass out there is not the most ladylike or fashion forward thing to do. Of course the guys love it but as women we do need to have some sense of modesty and respect for ourselves. So heres the good news if you really prefer to wear leggings as pants here are some tips

1.) Go for a thicker material: Not only it looks good it feels good. Thicker leggings give you all the support you need as well as showing off your figure minus the involuntary booty shaking while walking. 

2.) It's all about balance: If you are going to wear something tight on the bottom balance it out with something more loose fitting on top like an oversized sweater or a high/low cut chiffon blouse (Been loving this sheer blouse from LuLu's with leggings http://www.lulus.com/products/busy-as-a-v-navy-blue-top/115802.html it comes in a bunch of colors and get them while you can they are always sold out and takes awhile to restock)

And last but not least.... 

3.) Get the right fit: When it comes to leggings most sizes come in XS to XLL and not numbers. So please TRY THEM ON. Leggings do not look good too tight or too loose. Just because you may fit into the size at the rest of the store it doesn't mean you will fit into that size in leggings. 

Have fun these are just some tips and suggestions based on my own personal experience no one person is right when it comes to fashion
