What to match with this?

Katherine

I've just ordered these leggings and I'm trying to decide what kind of top to wear with them, especially what color. Thank you!

Those are really cool, Katherine. I think any brown, gold, or tan shade would work,
Or you could pick up the turquoise if you would rather do a color than a neutral.

I think brown, tan, gold, turquoise, or a blue like the one in the background would work. I would keep the color of the shoes and the top or dress in similar shades to emphasize the leggings, and I would keep the skirt mini or pick one with a high slit to show off as much of the leggings as possible. Without knowing your body type, height, style, or anything else about you I can tell you what I'd wear, but it may not be very useful. My dressing style is pretty casual with flat-heeled shoes, t-shirt fabrics, knits, and a lot of close-fitting clothing.

These would love a tunic. Brown, caramel, or turquoise in the same colour intensity as the leggings.
Unless you are very slim, and then a slouchy faded graphic T with holes, a tan bucket bag, and a cup of very expensive coffee for your way back from a workout.
Fun piece, love them.

A black hippie tank, with either crochet or fringe or both.

Oh you all are awesome! Thanks for the great ideas. I've been looking at a few tunics and high low tops online, but I think I really need to have the leggings to get a good idea of the color. I just joined this site the other day so I'm very new to all of this. I was thinking they might work also with a pair of black lace-up boots I have (they're somewhere between riding boots and combat), but I'm never sure about black with that much brown, I'm pretty terrible at knowing if things like that work or not.

If it helps, WB, I'm about 5'5", US size 7 in jeans. I'm pretty casual too, I rarely wear heels or have much occasion to really dress up. I try to go comfortable, though sometimes it's too easy because I work for my family at a computer all day, never seeing any other people, and it can be difficult to talk myself out of wearing sweatpants. I'm working on doing less of the jeans-and-tshirts thing, I just bought my first pair of high waisted shorts and all, haha

I love black with brown.

Have you looked at the Finds, Katherine? Go to the Finds tab, and then on the right where it says Search Title and Description, type in "tunic" and be inspired. Finds very often link to real live pieces that you can price out and buy.

Have fun!

What fun leggings. I think you have some great suggestions here but want to pop in and say I hope you post the outfit once you find the top.
