Winter in Australia... is well and truly here.. and my fashion pet peeve during Winter, is seeing the fashion blunder of leggings worn with no over the hip-line cover up!
Leggings are sleek and sexy, the alternative to a very tight skinny jean. So the golden rule to wearing leggings this season should be;
1.Invest in a good quality pair of leggings where the fabric is thick, and doesn't look like some sheer cloth that's been overwashed and thinning. ( I suggest the equestrian style legging). If you do opt for the sheer cotton version, then you may as well throw on a dirty sweat shirt.. as the wear you'll get out of them would only be about three washes, until it'll look like you're wearing a saggy pair of ... somethings.
2.Unless gravity is on your side from the behind... then please don't wear tops that sit just above the legging waistline. Wear tops that sit midway just enough to cover at least half or all of the behind and front. Ladies, you're not wearing gym gear, so keep it kept...... kept all in.
3. If you're throwing on a jacket, a cropped or over the hipline jacket is flattering. ( tuxedo style / relaxed blazer is my choice )
4.Finish off your legging look with a sleek pair of boots or a high point heel ( avoid the severe round toe boot.. a soft curve is ok)). Although it's tempting to throw on the signature ballet flats.... Boots create a cleaner look and line.
Style up your Winter, ladies! x
