How to Wear: Fancy Leggings November 24th, 2009 By

Victoria's Secret Sequin Leggings

Victoria's Secret Sequin Leggings

Latex and lace are the sexy textiles wrapped around the legs of the most fashion-forward celebs, but can the average girl pull off these new daring legging styles?

All you need to do is pick the right top, we’ll tell you how:

With liquid leggings, a simple long and loose off the shoulder tee looks perfect.  Go loose and flowy on top since your leggings are skin-tight. Add a blazer if you want more structure.

Lace leggings look great with simple tops. A long black sweater or a short sweaterdress will compliment the intricate design well.  Add a statement necklace and stiletto shoe booties for an evening look.

For sequin leggings, try a basic tee and suede blazer.  The soft muted texture of the suede is a great way to avoid looking too sparkly and will help to highlight your legs.
