3 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT LEGGINGS………………….

Leggings have been around for a bit and naija ladies have caught on to this trend. However, some of us don’t get that they are not pants and cannot be substitutes for them. I have seen a couple of girls out in town wearing leggings with their unmentionables exposed!!!!!!(free show). So, I was inspired to write this post as a public service announcement (PSA). Here are 3 tips we should all put in mind when next we want to put on a pair ;

#1.Fabric

The fabric they are made of is a very important factor. You don’t want to wear a pair and end up in jail for public indecency. If they are  made of a thin fabric-then it becomes transparent (especially when you stretch) and those parts of your body that should be seen by only your man will be exposed to the general public(Oops!). When it comes to leggings the thicker, the better.
Check the denier of the fabric. Just in case you don't know, denier relates to the thickness of the leggings. For more  coverage and durability, purchase a higher denier (say 100 plus denier)

Oops!

#2 What to wear over them

General opinion differs from person to person. Personally I think that you should wear a pair that are long enough to cover, but short enough not to be a dress. Preferably, something nice and flowy. They are already tight and wearing something equally tight on top will only end up making you look like cat woman (or some other super heroine). However, if you must, you could try wearing something loose like a chunky sweater or a boyfriend jacket to layer it and reduce the “cat woman effect”.

#3 Your feet

 Wearing the wrong foot wear can kill any outfit and totally ruin your look. You could try to wear flats or mid heels with your leggings to give you that chick look.
This ends our PSA for today J

P.S. I’m in love with print leggings at the moment, They are fun, comfortable, cute and help you get noticed wherever you go J. Every girl should have one in her wardrobe.
