Good Leggings/ Bad Leggings

I love leggings, whether they're paired with a dress, a short skirt, a long coat, or a tunic. And I think leggings can work on a variety of body types. But leggings can be a mixed bag- worn right, you look long and lean. Worn wrong, you look like a hoochie. And even celebrities aren't immune from leggings disasters. Let's take a look at a few good leggings/bad leggings examples.

Here, Nicky Hilton is having a good leggings day. I would totally wear this outfit- black leggings and black boots topped off by an awesome leopard print coat. Most importantly, her coat covers her rear end. This is key with leggings, as you will see.

To read the rest of "Good Leggings/ Bad Leggings", head over to Lindsay Ferrier's new column at The Stir by CafeMom.

I love all these ideas! (The good ones, I mean ;)) I never know what to wear with my leggings...as long as my tush is covered, we should be OK!

I think a good rule of thumb is when in doubt with leggings, DON'T DO IT. If you think it looks weird or inappropriate, you're probably right! :)

Phew! Thanks for this. Two pairs just arrived in the mail yesterday and I'm a little nervous about them. I'm not a "big girl", but I'm no Kate Moss either. Thank God the shhipment came with a tunic dress/top and sweater that goves well over my girly bits.

I think when they're done right, they can be really slimming. I mean, they draw attention to the slimmest parts of our bodies, right? But I don't want to see ANYONE's ass in leggings, even if she weighs 90 pounds! :D

I basically lived in leggings when I was pregnant. Not only do they look great on soon to be mamas, but they are super comfy!

i used to wear leggings back in the 90's A LOT. and they seem to be thicker then. now they're getting thinner and more sheer than ever.& now they love "slashing" the leggings to make it look like pants..(like lots of slashes/cut outs in front) i don't care if hollywood girls wear the "slashed" leggings. it makes them look tacky. the basic black leggings is always classic.
