What boots to wear with Leggings

If you are like me and love wearing leggings. It is important to find new and different ways to wear them. I love wearing my leggings with boots. But which boots work, and which don't?

Ankle Boots
This is a tricky one. But if you follow a few rules, you'll be fine. First, match your boots to the colour of your leggings. Please don't wear purple leggings & white ankle boots. That's ridiculous. you will look like a clown. Black on black always looks good. Also, make sure your leggings go all the way into the boot without leaving any skin showing.

Calf Boots
I am not the fan of those calf boots that fit snugly on the calf, but I do love the cowgirl boots, or a flat boho kind of calf boot. Anyway, I think these are perfect to wear with leggings. Go for flats, heels or wedges. It will all look great.

Knee-High Boots
Knee-high boots are playful but still serious enough to be worn to both the mall or the club. An important factor is make sure your leggings match your boots. If you're short, and they don't match; it could make you look even shorter. Flat riding boots look great if you don't want to draw too much attention to yourself.

Thigh-High Boots

The thing about thigh-high boots is that they come in varying lengths above the knee. It  can reach anywhere from just above the knee, to all the way up the thigh. When choosing what length works for you, you have to know where you'll be wearing them. Shorter thigh-highs make for a sexy but still appropriate daytime look, while higher boots will look a lot more suggestive. Also, depending on the top you are wearing at the time, you might not even be able to see the leggings, which in that case you may want to rather opt for a shorter thigh-high.

Hope this was helpful :)

How to wear a shirt over Leggings

I am a huge lover of leggings. And as much as my better half dislikes them, they're still a staple in my wardrobe. Leggings do more than just provide some much needed coverage under a super-short skirt, but they also provide tummy control (which some may need, and others don't). But for me, what's best and most important about leggings is that they are comfortable.

Now that I have confessed my undying love for leggings, I'm going to tell you my pet-peeve when it comes to ladies and leggings : They don't wear the right top/shirt with them! Ladies, no matter how fabulous they are, they aren't pants, which means you have to be careful of your shirt length.

I am going to give you a few tips I hope will help.

1. Cover your butt.
When wearing leggings, you want to make sure all your bits are covered. Leggings are so super-fitted that if you wear a shorter top, you could look a little over exposed. However, don't wear a shirt that looks like a maxi dress over your leggings. Your shirt length should be below your butt, but still above the knee.

2.T-shirts
If you want to look more casual, opt for an over sized 'boyfriend-inspired' T. The great thing about an over sized T is that they're long, roomy, and just as comfy as the leggings. You don't want to wear a regular T-shirt with leggings. Add heels  if you want to dress up the look.

3. Tunics are fab
I love wearing tunics with leggings. It really looks great. What's especially nice about a tunic is that they are often a bit longer, and more roomier than regular shirts or tops. And what's even better is that the volume at the top balances out the fitted leggings at the bottom, so you will look balanced.


4. Blouses are dressy
Leggings are casual, are by all means cannot be worn everywhere. However, you can still dress them up so that they are appropriate for some outings. Adding a blouse will take your look up a notch. Try a white cotton blouse, or a more luxurious silk blouse. And don't forget a great pair of heels.

Going from Summer to Winter style
