Bright Leggings Make You Unique

A hot fashion and one-of-a-kind funky outfit can be created by utilizing form-fitting leggings along with a long top or blouse, a large t-shirt, a loose sweater, shorts or perhaps a full length or knee length skirt. Add a long pendant or other necklace as an accessory to further individualize the ensemble. The style can be punk or elegant or extravagant and can be worn for a variety of day or evening occasions.

Leggings are usually ankle-length, but some have stirrups and others encase the feet. Some are shorter and others are panty hose tights. They come in all sizes including ones for bigger ladies with a comfortable elastic waistband.

Bright leggings add warmth on chilly days and at any time can bring an outfit up a notch fashion-wise. These leggings come in fun designs, soft materials and flashy colors such as bright purple, orange, green, red and yellow. Designs include geometric patterns, artsy multi-color prints, rose and other florals, a fiesta print as well as optical illusion, outer space and other whimsical designs. Animals are featured, also, including leopard, zebra, peacock, cheetah, Dalmatian and butterfly.

Leggings originally were two separate garments with one for each leg. Modern leggings are usually made from cotton, polyester blend, spandex or nylon, but they can also be made from wool or silk or other materials.

The linen pantalettes worn under crinolines by women and girls in the mid-19th century were a form of leggings. Trousers similar to capri pants but tighter became fashionable in the 1960s, and Patricia Field, a fashion designer, takes credit for inventing the modern leggings in the 1970s.
