JAKARTA - On the one hand, wearing leggings is very simple. The texture is thin but sturdy when it is used in cold temperatures. But you need to pay attention to mix and match so that you don't look fashionable.

Each body shape has its own character. Based on your shape and posture, you can maximize your appearance. If you want to keep looking good, try the tips for matching leggings and other outfits below.

Pear body shape

The upper part of the pear shape is smaller than the bottom. This means that when the bottom is bigger you can combine leggings with special tricks so that the visual illusion supports your appearance.

First, choose a dark leggings color. Dark colors will disguise parts of the body that appear larger. And mix it with an oversized top for balance.

Second, wear patterned leggings to disguise it and mix it with a top plus a jacket or a shorter outer. This is intended to form a visual illusion of the waist, a crucial point in shaping the perfect shapping.

Third, wear pointy-toed shoes and wear heels so that again forms a visual illusion of a longer level in the lower part of the body.

Hourglass body

The body shape which is small on the sides but widens at the chest and hips is the character of the hourglass body shape. You can still wear leggings as long as you mix them in the right way. For example, with layered clothes, for example wearing black leggings and a colored tank top plus an outer see-through to give it a sexier impression.

Can also provide an additional accent with a thick belt. This will emphasize the silhouette of the waist.

Body shape with large calves

Having big calves is not an obstacle to wearing leggings. The tips are similar to an hourglass body, you can add an additional outfit, namely the outer see-through. For more free movement, you can select the outer without buttons.

Now, the most important thing when wearing leggings is to make sure you are comfortable and confident. Then you can maximize your appearance with chic colors. For example, with plain black leggings and loose short pants. Try to keep short pants not too long or the maximum limit above the knee.

Straight body shape

Straight bodies need a touch more in certain parts to emphasize the silhouette of the body. You can pair shiny leggings with layered clothing or an oversized sabrina cut top.

The exposed shoulders and neck when wearing a sabrina top aim to give a feminine impression. You can also add a belt or pants outside the leggings.

Apple and diamond body shape

Unlike the pear body shape, the apple body shape and the diamond center posture are wider. This means that if you wear leggings you can combine it with an oversized knit top and blouse.
