Must have leggings for Fall '07

Filed under: Accessories, Clothing

Leg Up: Guide to Leggings
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. That's my motto when it comes to leggings. Leggings made an uninvited comeback a few years ago. I shuddered at the thought of putting them on my body. The last time I wore leggings with a straight face was in the 3rd grade, and I hadn't planned on wearing them again. Now that leggings are kind of hard to ignore -- I have decided to embrace them.

Leggings are the perfect transition piece to go from summer to fall and will carry your wardrobe throughout the cold winter months. Since they are nice and popular, it's okay to toss out your $5 leggings from Target to go for something a bit more chic. Expand your leggings wardrobe by going with different colors like navy, cream, plum, and gray. If you are really feeling wild go with a cutesy patterned pair from Primp or take a walk on the wild side with a tiger striped pair from Norma Kamali.

To avoid looking like you just stepped away from a Las Vegas slot machine make sure you wear a tunic or a mini dress with your leggings (no short tops please). Add a jacket and a tall pair of boots with your leggings ensemble to pull it all together.
