But I have a poison eye for seasonal confusion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-with-leggings---does-it-matter-what-type#post-1099759 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 19:36:59 +0000 catgirl 1099759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I'm wearing a puffer I am generally also wearing boots which give my legs some bulk in skinnies or leggings. I have a seasonal poison eye for puffers with sandals or pumps because that makes no sense to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-with-leggings---does-it-matter-what-type#post-1099668 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 18:08:56 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1099668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There used to be rules about how long your coat was versus your dress/skirt and I suppose the same principles would apply. I personally don't like the look of a coat long enough to make it look like I don't have anything on underneath, so I would tend to go for a shorter coat over a skirt or dress, or a tunic. But if you need something long for warmth, I would just create visual weight with your shoes or boots and make sure your top half isn't too lollipop-ish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-with-leggings---does-it-matter-what-type#post-1099589 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 16:48:14 +0000 zippity 1099589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, good to know. Thanks everyone!<br />Dee - True about the boots. I will definitely be wear them with this outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-with-leggings---does-it-matter-what-type#post-1099535 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 15:52:29 +0000 Dee 1099535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear leggings with puffers regularly because being warm is definitely an important thing. Maybe your footwear could also play a role? I always feel that&nbsp;nice pair of&nbsp;boots balances things out in&nbsp;this type of outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-with-leggings---does-it-matter-what-type#post-1099311 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 07:11:35 +0000 anne 1099311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess it is hard to say absolutely&nbsp;without a picture, but I think it'd be fine. I certainly did a lot of leggings + tunic sweater+ puffer coat last Aussie winter (eg watching my daughter's netball games) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-with-leggings---does-it-matter-what-type#post-1099251 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 05:15:51 +0000 Adelfa 1099251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would totally wear a puffy coat over leggings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-with-leggings---does-it-matter-what-type#post-1099248 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 05:12:54 +0000 zippity 1099248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm new to leggings, but I have to say I love them with a cute tunic sweater. They're just so comfortable! And a significant step up for me from last year's bulky lounge pants and fleece sweatshirt that I lived in. Anyway, I was wondering if it matters what kind of coat I wear with the leggings. Sometimes if I wear an above-the-knee puffy coat, it makes my legs look so skinny in comparison (normally I'd love that, but I'm wondering if it looks out of proportion). Do I have to wear a more tailored/streamlined coat? Or doesn't it matter because it's winter and being warm is the most important thing anyways? I'm going for a casual look.</p> <p>(This whole fashion thing is new to me, so I might be asking a lot of silly questions on here while I learn - hope that's ok!!) </p>
