Plus size leggings made a comeback with the latest 80s revival. If you’re old enough you may remember it was Flashdance with Jennifer Beals that started the whole leggings craze back then. Their popularity has risen so much recently that I have to imagine that they’ll never go back out of style. The wonderful thing about this fashion accessory is that it allows you to show off the curvy look of your legs while at the same time giving you great coverage and are extremely comfortable too boot.
The reason that leggings for plus size women are favored by big gorgeous women is that they look great when paired with a nice longer tunic tops. But let’s face it, even those rail thin anorexics look terrible while wearing them with those crop tops.
Whether they are expensive or cheap plus size leggings, just avoid them with that style of top. Even if you get a starring role in a new aerobic video series…just don’t. Instead of this, try wearing them layered underneath dresses, skirts, or perhaps one of those long line boyfriend shirts.
Of course there are the basic plain style leggings, there are also a number of different styles available, each with it’s own unique look. Here are a few different style that you might consider. First up are the so called “wet look” leggings. These large size leggings are also known as “waxy” leggings.
- Wet look leggings have a obvious and definite shine to them that gives an almost rubbery look although much less extreme. And clearly they will be much more comfortable. These leggings are great for the rock and roll look in your favorite club or disco.
- Next up are lace leggings. These plus size leggings have a much softer and more feminine look to them. It’s good to use them with a plainer outfit instead of a pair of tights. Because these offer a lot less coverage you might want to stick to wearing them with dresses or skirts.
- Then there are “detailed” leggings. There is a wide variety of embellished leggings now so there is no reason for you to look like a Plain Jane (which I know you aren’t if you are reading this report). They are a great way to express your own personality from the subtle rushing and stud detailing at the ankle to sparkling sequins or sexy, flesh revealing slashed leggings. They are a simple and very cost effective way of getting dramatically different looks.
- Jeggings have become very popular. It’s a weird word but what it really means is a cross between jeans and leggings. If you like the skinny leg jeans look then you’ll love jeggings. Wear these denim looking leggings for the casual look with a tunic or shirt and flat pumps or sandals.
- Last but not least are pattered leggings. These are for the adventurous fashionista. This is because they come in bold colors and patterns from abstract patterns for bizarre floral prints. This look isn’t for everyone but if you’ve got the look and legs for them, I say go for it!
