If you want to wear floral print leggings, do not think a lot of what kind of top to put with them. Keep it simple and one colored. The attention is already on the design of the leggings therefore the rest of the outfit should be kept neutral. A white tee will always be the best option because it goes well with everything, but if you have the same color top as the flowers of the leggings, then go for it.
Animal Print Leggings And Denim Jacket

This is a youthful look of a young and talented businesswoman, wearing casually her attire. We love the Scottish pattern on the leggings adding character and style, so much so that she does not need a fussy top, only plain not to try too hard to compete against them. The touch of Bordeaux from the leather jacket can be worn over the shoulder walking with the ultimate confidence.
None of these apport anything, EVERYONE has a white top
That…was not helpful. “How to wear leggings: Don’t, unless you have a white top or like to wear funky print on your legs.” How about covering the how-to’s of tastefully wearing leggings, since you said they’re not pants? How about addressing whether leggings can be worn with any length dress or whether they look better with certain dresses?
I want to double down on everything you said Sarah!
The title would have been more appropriate if it read “10 Styles of Leggings to Wear” rather than “10 Ways to Wear Leggings” because other then the sports leggings, these were all worn in a similar fashion. You basically gave us 10 leggings with different colors or patterns. Not very helpful and the title is a bit misleading. Sarah White has given you some great ideas for future articles on how to appropriately feature leggings.
Totally agree!!!! And saying “they’re not pant” but showing them as pants is ridiculous. I planned to send this pin to my teenage daughter for guidelines. Only problem is the examples are all of leggings as pants.
