Sensation of leggings

Whether it’s for parties, for school or for a walk, leggings are perhaps the hottest must-have gadgets of the modern fashion.

Ever since Audrey Hepburn wore them in the movie “Sabrina” back in 50’s, leggings had been one of the most popular fashion items among women. In the last few years, I’ve seen all over campus female students wearing leggings with sweatshirt, skirts, short-denim or dresses. In fact, they go along with any clothes. I’m a fanatic fan of leggings, because they are comfortable and easy to fit compared with jeans. Jeans can be a little too tight to feel comfortable whereas leggings are light and not binding that it feels easier to walk around.

Leggings accessorize the style along with shoes. Depending on what type of shoes you put on, clothing style transforms into a flashy look.

If the outfit is a tunic top, leggings will be the perfect match to make the style look inspirational. To top it off, flat shoes are appropriate. If the outfit is jersey or t-shirts, wear tennis-shoes, and then Walla! You’ve got a sporty look. By wearing black leggings under any color of the one-piece dress with heels, you are now ready to hop in to the party!

Leggings come in different sizes and different lengths. There are mid-calf lengths and full lengths. Some leggings have ankle zippers.

Although they are mostly targeted for the youth, they are worn among women of all ages. (they are common in all ages) Besides, they are worn throughout all seasons. After celebrities like Fergie, Rihanna, and Kate Moss sparked a boom of leggings several years ago, leggings had evolved differently.  

A Hollywood troublemaker (actress) Lindsey Lohan is one of fashionistas who helped a revival of leggings. She is found in tabloids in varieties of leggings like liquid leggings, shiny leggings and colored leggings. Sheer leggings are also seen on the street underneath short-denim. It may look outlandish, but if you want to give an accent to your fashion, sheer leggings will do it.

For those who are not confident enough to wear leggings, jeggings are nice to wear not only as proxy leggings but also as an alternative for jeans. They are easy fit and cozy.

The word jeggins is the combination of leggings and jeans, and the fabric is just like tight denim jeans. Unlike jeans, they are stretchy and not buttoned that you won’t have to worry about feeling tightly-squeezed when the belly is full.

Regardless of individual’s preference, I support that a whirlwind of leggings will remain on women’s legs with a reputation of comfy (skinny) tights.
