Black leggings with interesting details or skinny jeans wold be my suggestions. Actually, nowadays they also make leggings that look like jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-kindcolor-leggings-to-wear#post-93513 Sun, 13 Sep 2009 15:51:49 +0000 Louise 93513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm also a pear and wear skinnie jeans either witha tunic as you would leggings or with a banded top. If you feel like you'd like to give them a go don't let anything stop you. Can't wait to see your buttoned leggings x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-kindcolor-leggings-to-wear#post-93500 Sun, 13 Sep 2009 15:12:17 +0000 pemn 93500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>one more thing...my bad, hard-to-fit feet won't allow ballet flats. The closest I can come is a black mary jane flat. However, unfortunately, it's not all that sleek; it's a little clunky.

Lots of 50-pluses can wear skinny jeans -- and wear them well! Sorry I mis-spoke in my generalization. I just don't feel as if I'm one of those who can wear them. And since I'm pear-shaped, I was under the impression that straight legs are not that flattering for me. (So why am I considering leggings, right? Same silhouette. Hm. Maybe it's because the bigger, bottom half of me is covered by tunic, so that makes it less of a problem? ) sorry to ramble on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-kindcolor-leggings-to-wear#post-93498 Sun, 13 Sep 2009 15:04:26 +0000 pemn 93498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oops...meant Spanx! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-kindcolor-leggings-to-wear#post-93497 Sun, 13 Sep 2009 15:03:22 +0000 pemn 93497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loulou, i was out last night and actually purchased the leggings with buttons, pretty much identical to those at Marks &amp; Spencer. I do like them very much. (Just wish they were a little tighter (to pull me in!). maybe i'll try spank under them.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-kindcolor-leggings-to-wear#post-93482 Sun, 13 Sep 2009 10:41:54 +0000 Louise 93482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Leggings with ruching, zips or buttons might also be worth a try to add a bit of extra interest x<br /> <a href="http://www.marksandspencer.com/gp/product/B002NC3488/sr=1-14/qid=1252838096/ref=sr_1_14/280-9189816-6674117?ie=UTF8&#038;node=&#038;m=A2BO0OYVBKIQJM&#038;keywords=leggings&#038;mnSBrand=core&#038;size=63&#038;rh=n%3A42966030%2Ck%3Aleggings%2Cn%3A42967030&#038;page=" rel="nofollow">http://www.marksandspencer.com.....#038;page=</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.asos.com/Ashley-Olsen/Asos/Asos-Full-Length-Ruched-Leggings/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=188999" rel="nofollow">http://www.asos.com/Ashley-Ols.....iid=188999</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.newlook.co.uk/1705344/170534401/ProductDetails.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.newlook.co.uk/17053.....tails.aspx</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-kindcolor-leggings-to-wear#post-93458 Sun, 13 Sep 2009 03:09:12 +0000 Anonymous 93458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You'd be surprised at us 50+ wearing skinny jeans. There seems to be a style for alot of us even if one persons skinny is another persons straight leg. Give them a try, you might be pleasantly surprised. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-kindcolor-leggings-to-wear#post-93416 Sat, 12 Sep 2009 23:57:54 +0000 pemn 93416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the idea of skinny jeans, san! Unfortunately, I don't think I could squeeze myself into a pair. They would probably push my stomach up to my esophagus, creating respiratory issues. I can just imagine trying to explain that to the paramedics... Actually, it may be illegal in some states for women of 51 to WEAR skinny jeans. :0 Leggings are a little more forgiving in that they're knit and allow you to at least breathe. </p> <p>Now my teen daughter is a prime candidate for skinny jeans. Tall, slender with athletic build and legs up to there. But I think she'd laugh her head off if I tried to wear them. </p> <p>As for a photo of me...dunno if i'm ready for that. I haven't even put the tunic/dress on since I bought it. Will think about that though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-kindcolor-leggings-to-wear#post-93410 Sat, 12 Sep 2009 23:12:20 +0000 Anonymous 93410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you have skinny jeans to try it with? It's a cute tunic! Can you post pictures of you in it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-kindcolor-leggings-to-wear#post-93403 Sat, 12 Sep 2009 20:51:03 +0000 pemn 93403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>sounds great! thanks loulou, angie and joy! sorry to be stupid here...when it comes to scarves with this (because i am not the most confident wearer of scarves), what kind of scarf and how would you tie it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-kindcolor-leggings-to-wear#post-93385 Sat, 12 Sep 2009 18:22:32 +0000 Anonymous 93385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pemn, your dress looks like it will make a great tunic with black leggings. You have a nice scoop neck that can accommodate a variety of necklaces or scarves. A gold-tone chain with big links would work. If you want something more feminine to contrast with the almost military details on the dress, how about pearls? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-kindcolor-leggings-to-wear#post-93381 Sat, 12 Sep 2009 18:01:53 +0000 pemn 93381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wish I'd looked for the link in the first place! I got this on the sale rack at Urban Outfitters. Clearly, I am COLOR BLIND! The tag says it's black. But I swear it changes in different lights. One reviewer calls it a chalky grey..ANYWAY...it is a dress, but at my age I could never wear it as such; too short. I am a bit of a pear shape, but I am not really overweight -- 5'5" and about 125 pounds. So going under the assumption that it's a greyish black, is it going to be too severe to wear black leggings with it? I'm not sure how to accessorize it either, if at all. I would really appreciate opinions here.<br /> <a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?itemdescription=true&#038;itemCount=60&#038;startValue=61&#038;selectedProductColor=&#038;sortby=&#038;id=16694911&#038;parentid=W_APP_SALE&#038;sortProperties=+subCategoryPosition,+product.marketingPriority,-product.startDate&#038;navCount=12&#038;navAction=poppushpush&#038;color=&#038;pushId=W_APP_SALE&#038;popId=WOMENS_SALE&#038;prepushId=" rel="nofollow">http://www.urbanoutfitters.com.....prepushId=</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-kindcolor-leggings-to-wear#post-93332 Sat, 12 Sep 2009 16:07:05 +0000 Angie 93332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loulou has you sorted on the hose-less option.

By the sounds of things, you can wear black leggings with ballet flats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-kindcolor-leggings-to-wear#post-93330 Sat, 12 Sep 2009 15:48:26 +0000 pemn 93330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh, that's a great idea! i can probably find something similiar here in the states. thanks! what color leggings would you do with the top? sorry, no pic. if i can shoot it soon, i will. but the color probably won't be accurate... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-kindcolor-leggings-to-wear#post-93329 Sat, 12 Sep 2009 15:45:52 +0000 Louise 93329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear these if i'm wearing flats and leggings and don't want to be sockless x</p> <p><a href="http://www.marksandspencer.com/gp/product/B0028PVZUY/sr=1-5/qid=1252770263/ref=sr_1_5/280-7535834-8924835?ie=UTF8&#038;node=&#038;m=A2BO0OYVBKIQJM&#038;keywords=&#038;mnSBrand=core&#038;size=9&#038;rh=n%3A66301031%2Cn%3A61438031&#038;page=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.marksandspencer.com.....038;page=1</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-kindcolor-leggings-to-wear#post-93327 Sat, 12 Sep 2009 15:36:28 +0000 pemn 93327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a young 50-plus and just picked up a great empire waist knit tunic in a dark chocolate brown (so dark it's hard to tell if it's brown or dark charcoal or even black). What color leggings should I wear with it? Unfortunately, I have bad feet and am incapable of wearing heels, so will have to wear flats. Must I go without any sock? Can I wear a sheer nude knee-high? Or will that look dorky? I don't usually do well with boots because it's hard to find a good fit. </p>
