How To Wear: Printed Leggings
I was skeptical about printed legging trend. How flattering, appropriate, or even wearable would it be? But I keep seeing uber-stylish women rocking printed legging without looking too loud, too weird, or too bold. Just chic.
I took the plunge and recently bought two pairs of leggings online: one is black-and-white paisley print and the other one is purple-dominated, retro-feel print. When the package came, I rushed to my wardrobe to scour the tops that I could wear with the two. Surprisingly enough, I find many pieces that would go well without going too wild.
I personally think the key to wearability is to keep it simple and solid colored. You can always add accessories like bunch of bracelets or a simple dangling necklace.
Below are some visuals that I like…
