I think I'd like a navy pair as well. There are times where you want leggings, and not jeggings. I think any dark neutral would work well actually. I don't like the look of white leggings though (then again most white freaks me out anyway!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-in-colors-other-than-black#post-343449 Tue, 03 May 2011 00:06:35 +0000 Kristen 343449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have black, brown for my brown dresses, and denim-fabric leggings (not jeggings, these are just leggings with no pockets or anything) for navy dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-in-colors-other-than-black#post-343431 Mon, 02 May 2011 23:17:58 +0000 Aida 343431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've got black, chocolate brown, charcoal, light gray heathered, and white though I'm not over 40.

I love my black leggings, but in my climate black reads "hot" to my eye, especially with the high contrast of lighter weight and color fabrics. I'll check out some other neutrals, thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-in-colors-other-than-black#post-342164 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 17:53:25 +0000 Girl X 342164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>'Not black' doesn't have to mean bright pinks and yellows. If you really just want them for under summer dresses - why not a very light brown, cream, or taupe? Nothing that attracts attention, just something the eye can glance over easily, so the attention stays on the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-in-colors-other-than-black#post-342161 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 17:46:35 +0000 rosee 342161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think any neutral darker color would work (like above): grey, navy, dark taupe, chocolate or plum.

Black sandals, black leggings, black cars. . . they all look hot! If I see someone in black leggings this time of year, I assume she's going to/from yoga class and didn't have time to change.</p> <p>If I lived somewhere cooler, the black leggings might look better to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-in-colors-other-than-black#post-342132 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 16:57:00 +0000 Mo 342132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find black kind of harsh looking with light, airy, summer dresses so I'd be interested in trying out the taupe as an alternative. Even though I am in that over 40 range . . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-in-colors-other-than-black#post-342131 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 16:55:37 +0000 sarah 342131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So far I've only worn black leggings, and you can repeat a dark color on top such as navy if you can't repeat with black. I know Angie is a purest about black leggings, but I have seem some grey leggings on women recently that I thought actually looked pretty nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-in-colors-other-than-black#post-342128 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 16:47:44 +0000 Lynne 342128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>lynne, I see a lot of women wearing white with taupe or grey leggings - I like the low contrast look and I'm tempted to try it. Like you, I worry that black is too high contrast, and it's actually difficult for me to repeat black in my outfits. I own very little black, it's not a colour I'm drawn to at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-in-colors-other-than-black#post-342121 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 16:29:11 +0000 Queen Mum 342121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>here's a blog post about black leggings...<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2010/04/26/spring-mom-on-the-go-flop-proof-outfit-4/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2010/04/.....-outfit-4/</a></p> <p>and a post on leggings in general.

I guess my purpose is to wear them under shortish summer dresses that I don't wear any more. My concern is that black would look too harsh. I'll go play in my closet with the calf length black ones I've got. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-in-colors-other-than-black#post-342048 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 14:16:21 +0000 Louise 342048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think Angie usually recommends just black leggings for all ages, though I'm a bit of a rebel and have navy and grey pairs too x</p> <p>ETA- jeggings are good too x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-in-colors-other-than-black#post-342044 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 14:13:50 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 342044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm on the fence here too. I think you need to have really good legs to do colored tights since the color draws the eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-in-colors-other-than-black#post-342041 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 14:12:08 +0000 Queen Mum 342041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I took a peek at your profile page and given your age, I would say no. But, what colors were you thinking? Possibly light grey and other very muted neutrals, but colors... probably not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-in-colors-other-than-black#post-342035 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 14:02:45 +0000 lynne 342035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ladies, with warmer weather coming and lighter colored clothing, I'm considering cropped leggings in other colors. Your thoughts? I need to keep in mind that I am over 40, so I don't want the dreaded MDAL. </p>
