OThin leggings are versatile because they cover your body, yet still have a certain sexiness to them,O says Julie Gilhart, senior vice president/fashion director of Barneys New York. That means you can wear even
the lightest dresses without fear of feeling bare. Here,
a few things to remember before slipping them on:
[yen] Stay away from sheer colors. The best leggings are opaque, meaning no skin should show through them at all. And even though Mischa Barton wears white leggings, darker colors such as black, charcoal, and chocolate brown are wiser.
[yen] Keep things in proportion. Whatever you wear over leggings should hit between the bottom of your, well, bottom, and above the knees. In the O80s, women wore leggings as pants. Today, Oleggings should outline the figure without being in your face about it,O Patel says.
