Plus Size Leggings Fashion Tips:

For the most flattering look in leggings:

Make sure your top comes below the largest part of your bottom (especially for pear shapes).
Make sure your cropped leggings end below the largest part of your calf.
If you are pear shaped or bottom heavy, stick with dark solid colors.
For the most slenderizing look, go with the same color top and bottom (like in the photo below). Head to toe black, navy blue, dark gray or chocolate brown is always slenderizing.

Styles of Plus Size Leggings:

Basic Plus Size Leggings
Basic leggings are usually black or a dark color, plain and made of knit with spandex to make them stretchy. In the summer white leggings are also popular. They are very comfortable to wear and can be very flattering when worn with a top that accentuates your positives. They show off your curves while providing some shaping support. I was so thrilled when leggings came back in style a few years ago and I hope they are hear to stay. Basic leggings are generally inexpensive and easy to find. They are generally worn with flat shoes or sandals, with ballet flats being the "classic" look. Some retailers offer them in petite and tall lengths.

Trendy Plus Size Leggings
Trends in leggings include lace leggings, animal and other prints, bright colors like neon pink and even those with a leather look, sometimes called pleather or liquid leggings. Other trends include novelty touches such as zippers or studs at the hem. It is very trendy to wear legging with high heels now, a look that has been resurrected from the 1980s. In the winter it is very fashion forward to wear boots over leggings - everything from ankle boots to knee high and beyond.

Plus Size Jeggings, Plus Size Denim Leggings
are stretch denim leggings that look like jeans and fit like leggings. These have become very popular over the last couple of seasons. They are very comfortable and flattering to wear. They can be worn casual dressed up. You can find capri length denim leggings for the spring and summer. White denim capri leggings are a great look for the summer.

Plus Size Exercise Leggings
Almost any basic legging can double as an exercise pant. Just make sure they have spandex. A cotton and spandex knit should be better at keeping you body cool and dry than a polyester or nylon blend.

Plus Size Capri Leggings, Plus Size Cropped Leggings
Shorter lengths have become a staple for spring and summer. They look great and are much cooler than full length pants or jeans. You can find capri and cropped leggings in the basic colors - black, white, navy blue and also in denim, including black and white denims.
