Choose a well made pair - not with cotton fibers that bag out over time but a high tech fiber that retains it shape. Get over the body image constraints and just wear them. Go for the comfort and support. Leggings that go to the ankle have a greater positive visual aesthetic than capri style that chop the leg. Plus the full length leggings support you from your ankle to your waist and give you an energetic lift. Laugh, Live, Love & Enjoy! Check out www.UnJeans.com It’s time that we ALL wear leggings.

It is very feminine and attractive, but not too sexy. Since they are a chic look, Lisa, it is to be expected that people will look at you. It is a much more attractive style than the ho-hum stuff normally worn. Hold your head high and be confident. I like them best ankle length (the most slimming) with a tunic/skirt/whatever above the knee. Longer just doesn't look right, mid-calf is a bit flirty and youthful, but higher gets a bit sexy. I hope this style becomes a mainstay (we could use some variety). I love the leggings look. It is very feminine and attractive, but not too sexy.

Perhaps a little more alluring and absolutely fashion forward and funky by the sounds of things. Were you comfortable? Expect others to follow suit as you have probably raised the bar at work!

I must share my experience with you - I recently ventured out into the world of leggings with a pucci inspired dress that ended just above the knee, dark brown leggings and brown wedge high shoes that tied with a ribbon. i left the house feeling funky. But all day at work, i could see that people looked me up and down, then said nothing. It was the strangest thing. Was the look too sexy? i work in a very casual environmnet where pretty much anything goes. what do you think? i’m a little gun shy but i’m still going to experiment.

I was completely dubious of the return of leggings (especially as my 1987 h.s. reunion is coming up!) but I tried them at Angie's request. They were really comfortable. They kept me warm on my chilly morning walk to work. They didn't feel too hot during the day either. In fact I must admit, I really liked how they kept my thighs from rubbing together. Ok, that's kind of icky to think about - but I'm sure I'm not alone in this sweaty, summer, skirt situation! Anyway, I felt very modern and updated. My friend said I looked like a bohemian ballerina.

I wish I could try it out but all I can wear right now are sneakers! Oh well, at least I managed to avoid the dreaded Crocs ;) Hopefully I'll be back in flats before the dreaded NY winter approaches and I can try this look out.
