how to wear liquid leather leggings

Leave a response ->

Well, a couple of months ago I asked how people were wearing liquid leather leggings. Since I didn’t get the trend, I wanted to see how others were embracing it. I’m happy to say, you have had some very good ideas. It basically breaks down like this:

In your 20’s: The girls in their twenties are wearing them with fluid tops and chunky heels. For the most part, this age group is wearing them at night. There were some who live in a big city that are wearing them in the day with a more casual top. Overall, this age group is dressing them down a bit and try to balance out the glimmer and shine.

  • suede boot @ Steve Madden

  • In your 30’s: The girls in their thirties have been giving the leggings a more sophisticated party girl look. Pairing them with sequin tops or a top in a bold color.

  • Vivienne Westwood ‘Anglomania’ overcoat @ La Garconne
  • Steve Madden ‘Stackedd’ pump

  • In your 40’s: At first I didn’t believe women in their forties were sporting the trend, until someone sent me a picture of Victoria Beckham wearing a pair. Victoria is only 34, but her outfit is a good example of how someone in their late thirties – early forties should wear the trend. I must say, she did it well. She added a classy feel to a funky pair of leggings by pairing them with a fitted blazer. She also added upscale elegance by carrying a Birkin bag, and a pair of Christian Louboutins.

  • While this isn’t a trend I think I’ll be wearing, I can appreciate how the look will work for others. Thank you for sharing your ideas with me.

    • these leggings should NEVER be work without covering the nether regions. seriously, no one wants to see camel toe. yuck! A longish top or a dress is a must

      Rejina,

      You're 15 and wearing black leather leggings to school? That so rocks! I wish I had half as much style sense when I was 15!

      I like to pair my leather leggings with black ballet flats and a loose fitted cream top. I also like a long button up shirt over them. Really, anything you would wear with plain old black leggings work. Though I find it better to wear a lighter fabric on top to balance out the 'heaviness' of the leggings!

      As a fifteen-year-old in seattle, I love this trend! I wear them to school paired with a loose black sweater and white platform pumps.

      Victoria Beckham is 34!
    • Yikes - then she's not dressing her age. She looks horrible for 34 .. I was thinking she wasn't looking half bad for 40.
    • Wow, I am getting online to purchase a pair right now!
    • Don't think they are right for me, but they are cute. I like how you displayed the diff ways to wear them =)
