Wow! Look at all those stylish gals! I’m so impressed with the many different leggings looks.

I had to lay down the law and establish your #1 guideline up there with my daughter. She would come down wearing nothing but leggings and a t-shirt. You could generally see her underwear right through the leggings. I had to explain that leggings were like underwear, and you can’t wear them without a dress or skirt on top. Hilarious!

Congratulations to all of you!! You rock and you look fantastic! This is what Angie´s forum is about.
Angie and everybody else: you can be very proud of yourselves!!!

Wow! Look at all those stylish women! Love the look on all of you.

Beautiful! Everyone looks so great- I love seeing YLF’ers all together and looking so stylish in their leggings.

Can’t wait to find some tunic tops with you Angie. What a fun post. Everybody rocks this look. thank you!

Love all the leggings. My rule is only to wear leggings with a short (well above the knee) skirt, dress, or tunic. I don’t understand why anyone would wear leggings under a knee-length dress!!! I mean, if you want to make the knee-length dress look casual, just wear flats, anything else looks sloppy. Just my opinion.

How fun Angie. Thanks for showing us how to do leggings. I love how everyone looks happy and confident. I think leggings will be around for a long time. Leggings give us comfort, modesty and sassiness all wrapped up in one.

What a great collage! With so many different ways to wear leggings, it definitely gave me some new ideas. Thank you, Angie!

Wow, everyone looks amazing! So many wonderful ideas on how to wear leggings.
I have warmed up to the look too and recently worn it for the first time.

Oh, how fun! Thank you Angie for constructing such a beautiful collage and showing leggings on all shapes, sizes, and ages!

What a great display! Seeing the look done in so many ways by so many women is a great way to encourage us towards the look Angie. Great job, ladies!

Love the inspiration here! I get cold easily, so this kind of look is a great way for me to be able to wear skirts and dresses more often.

I also like to wear leggings with short short skirts. To me, pairing a short skirt with opaque leggings (not see thru tights) makes the skirt wearable.

This *is* an inspirational college. My toes are tickled every time I look at it. Everyone looks simply splendid. Very, very fab.

Good point San and Gina. Leggings often make certain items wearable, like skirts and dresses that are a tad too short. They provide good coverage when you sit down. I enjoy a modest style myself.

FJT, you’re right. Dresses and skirts that go over the knee look a little off with leggings. It’s best to keep them a little shorter.

Tanya! Our fashion queen! Glad you were inspired to try leggings for the first time too. I know you looked great!

Wow! I’m so impressed with seeing how leggings can be done in so many ways. I’m inspired to go out and get a pair now.
Thanks for the fantastic post and fashion inspiration as always.

Wow times 14! What a treat to look at 14 stylish YLFers this morning. Well done ladies!!!!!

I was one of those who never in a million years thought I would wear this look. Slowly my eye began to adjust with all the members’ great outfits. I finally bought a shorter pair to wear when thrift/consignment shopping under other clothing but allowing modesty when trying things on. They were so comfortable that I had to try to make this look work. I’m finding it a new way to make a dressier piece look more casual.

What a fun post!! Love it! Everyone looks so stylish. I’m wearing leggings again today — they have become a real go-to item in my wardrobe. They make everything work so well. In the fall, I’ll add boots and a moto jacket, and I’ll be good to go!

This is indeed inspiring and I have so many new ideas now. I’m loving the comfort and sassiness of leggings with dresses and its fast becoming a weekend staple outfit for me.

Thank you everyone for posting your great outfits!
Angie, it tickled me to think that, not only did you pick a variety of outfits on body types, ages and sizes, but also by ladies who are from all across the world.. It is amazing to learn from and be part of such a fab global community

And where did you ladies find your fabulous leggings? I totally agree with the rule that they should be rather substantial, but have difficulty finding anything with real substance out there… they’re all footless tights

I’m inspired all over again. Thank you, Angie and YLF forum members.

OK, I think this looks adorable, but you may have confirmed my fears. I do not like to show my knees, even clad in leggings, because they’re really not a nice shape. And even if I thought they looked more acceptable in leggings, I can’t see buying dresses too short for me to wear WITHOUT leggings. So … do they really look so bad with a knee-length or slightly longer skirt? And … am I committing a fashion crime by wearing, at this very moment, gray footless tights (quite insubstantial) under a knee-length black and gray skirt? It was my solution to the fact that it’s still chilly here even though it’s JULY.

Everyone here looks so polished and put together. Now I feel a little embarrassed having posted my bad quality pictures of incomplete outfits with wet hair, and one outfit that didn’t even work. Oh well, I’m glad people are getting inspired by all these gorgeous ladies. All of you look fab and it’s great to see everyone together like this.

Thanks to all of the great looks posted, I bought a pair of leggings and am loving them. So practical for wearing skirts and dresses that are just a tad short. I do like the look best with shorter skirts and dresses, as some others have mentioned. I feel like I’m back in elementary school just a bit, but the comfort they provide makes it worth it, and the look is really growing on me. My only fear is that now that I finally am wearing them that they’ll go out of style again. I take so long to adopt trends that this happens all-too-often.

I think this is hands down the post with the highest style quotient ever. !!!

WOO HOO LOOKS GREAT! YOU GO GIRLS!

What an inspirational array of leggings looks!

I’m sorry, everyone, but I still don’t like the leggings. To me, it just looks like you wore the wrong length of spanx and now they’re peeking out from under your skirt… not trying to be mean, but that is all I can see, so I don’t think I will ever wear them… tights only for me.

I can’t help but smile everytime I look at the leggings collage. Everybody looks fantastic, and it’s amazing how many different outfits you can create with just one pair of leggings. I wore mine today with a sleeveless dress and am contemplating trying them with a skirt soon too.
Thank you for all the inspiration ladies!

I’ll have to be the second voice of dissent. To me these outfits would be fine with tights or without leggings, but with them my eyes are immediately drawn down to the contrast and abrupt cut-off between fabric and skin. It’s all I see when I see otherwise-cute outfits with leggings.

Angie, where do you stand on lace-trimmed capri leggings? That is what I bought & I think they look cute, but I don’t see any of those in the photos. The lace feels more comfortable and stay-in-place to me.

You ladies all look terrific. Seeing you all looking so great in those leggings is giving me encouragement to branch out and try them myself!

Wonderful post Angie, and so great to see all of my stylish forum friends. I love leggings and hope they are here to stay!!

I have to agree with Rae. When the look first came back I didn’t care for it, but I thought it might grow on me. I can’t help but think it just looks wrong 99% of the time. Just something extra that isn’t supposed to be there. It’s very distracting for me…they hardly ever seem to fit with the outfit. But to each her own I guess!

Great post! What fun to see everyone’s outfits all lined up!

All the ladies look absolutely fabulous!! Great job!

Yay! I LOVE collage posts. This is going to be a super way to try and convince my aunt and SIL who are still quite hesitant about the look. For some reason, I liked the leggings look from the get go!

Oh wow, everyone looks splendid! What a great collage. Thanks for collecting this, Angie – browsing through the forum to see the collection of leggings looks is VERY inspiring. I love how different and creative the looks are. (I was really surprised to see my own picture up there – I’m still really feeling out how to wear the look.)

I’ve admired the look of leggings on other people, but had to get over my hang-up of thinking I was too curvy to wear them myself. Seeing others on the forum with similar body types wear them successfully prompted me to give them a try.

Absolutely fabulous looks

I wore tights and a short, swingy dress to the airport the other day, and even my almost 60, conservative immigrant mother loved them! They were comfortable for the plane (which is often chilly) but cool enough for outside. Since she is still quite youthful and slim, we’re going to shopping to get her a pair this weekend with an above the knee tunic or dress. So exciting!
To the naysayers, I agree, it looks funky at first. But as Angie always suggests, try it on yourself first and see if you like it on you. You might be surprised. I have athletic, almost stock calves and thought one had to be really lean and leggy, but I was wrong.
I buy my tights for about $7 at target. My roommate likes more sheer tights, which she buys for about $10 at Express. You can get them at Urban Outfitters, H&M or the gap as well. Fall/winter weight tights are best at American apparel or alternative apparel, online

I’m another one who finds this look distracting and overly trendy. The more I see it, the more I know it’s not for me.

I think this is a very cute casual look, and I like how everyone in the collage gave it their own individual twist. For me, it’s a bit too hot right now to even think about wearing tights or leggings, but it could be a great option for fall weather.

everyone looks awsome!!! i esp love seeing a fellow pear shape represent here!
