Which tops should you pair leggings with?

As comfortable bottoms, the legging is very versatile and a top choice of most women. Leggings are available for daily wear in solid colors as well in various designs and patterns for special occasions. One can easily pair up a plain upper garment with an eye catching bottom. Or if your top is funky, your leggings should be simple. Here are the top recommendations to pair with your leggings.

Tunic – This is the all time favorite piece to wear with leggings. Tunics are preferred by a large chunk of women because they go well on all figures. They are baggy yet don’t appear shapeless and in fabrics such as silk, polyester and cotton, they do not cling to the body either. A mid-thigh length tunic gives just a perfect look. Women who are petite often think that tunic would not suit them but short women choose a monochromatic outfit with the leggings to appear taller. Tunics are best paired with leggings since it is always available in many colors and patterns.

Baggy Tees - If comfort is your top priority, then there is no better apparel to pair with leggings than the baggy tee. A baggy tee’s beauty is that it is an effortlessly amazing style choice which might appear plain initially, but when added with personal touches, it's quite hip and style. A baggy tee must be oversized in areas of the shoulder/bust/neck where it can be easily placed off your shoulder. Baggy tees may be cropped; they can stop on the waist or also on top of thighs. Owing to their casual appearance when worn together, baggy tees and leggings must also be combined with more garments and other accessories to give the ensemble little more dimension.

Kaftans - Most people find it a bit difficult to distinguish between a tunic and a kaftan but the two are very different from one another. Tunics are usually till the thigh whereas kaftans can go as far as the knees. While very comfortable, kaftans are not usually worn as a daily wear outfit because they give a party type appearance. You can pair the kaftan with a legging which matches its color for a fabulous look. If you are tall, kaftans will look awesome on you.

Nowadays women have also started wearing leggings with short tops and the result is disastrous! So before you buy women leggings online, make sure you have any of the above options available in your closet.
