Today, I am breaking a fashion rule, one that you really need to be careful with. We have all seen the terrible memes, but if done correctly, you can do this. You CAN wear leggings as pants. Take caution, because there is a right way to do this.

First, if you’re going to try to pull this look off, I think its better if the leggings are printed because it gives the leggings more of “pant look” versus just the typical “yoga style.” Next is probably the most important part…wear a shirt that is LONG in the back because otherwise, it’s just not an attractive look on anyone. Because leggings do not typically have back pockets either, this is another reason longer shirts are a must when trying to wear these as pants. I also like to wear longer sweaters to pull this look off.

Pulling this style off can be incredibly easy, but also risky if it’s not worn the right way. This look is also very comfortable for those of you who love that.

To finish this look, I chose to wear my favorite shoes, my wedge sneakers because it gives the whole outfit a fun look and yet sporty because you have leggings and “tennis shoe” style shoes.

Make a look out of your leggings today. Instead of wearing them with just a t-shirt, try a long top and make it an outfit where you wear your leggings as pants. It can be done! Good luck!
