What to Wear with Jeggings

If you have decided to add this unique piece of clothing to your wardrobe, our advice to you is not to go for designer labels initially. You never know whether this fashion trend will last long or not.
So stick to buying one from a thrift store and in neutral colors such as black, blue, or brown. There are different kind of looks that you can create with a pair of jeggings, by teaming it with different types of tops, bags, footwear, and fashion accessories.

The Cool Look

If you want to sport a cool, casual look, wear it with a loose, long top. Wear a beaded necklace, flat sandals, and carry a large cloth bag. You can wear this look while going to college or on your next trip to the market.

The Hot Look

If you are blessed with a good figure, wear your jeggings with high-heeled stilettos, a leather purse and a short, sleeveless top tucked in. If you are on the heavier side, wear an empire-waistline top that will create an illusion of a thin waist.

The Trendy Look

If you want to go by summer fashion trends, pair your jeggings with knee-high boots.
Wear a long body-hugging T-shirt that falls midway past your thighs. On top of this T-shirt, wear a short, full-sleeved, loose top. This layered look along with the knee-high boots will definitely make many heads turn in your direction.

The Sporty Look
