Leggings, how to wear them according to fashion in 2020
A guide to wearing leggings, the perfect garment for indoors & outdoors
Never without…leggings! The garment for your leisure time that thanks to its versatility has been approved on the runway for everyday wear (not only for playing sport). The credit also goes to some international stars: amongst these the beautiful and elegant Audrey Hepburn who was one of the first actresses to show them off with simple ballerina pumps.
Fashion's idea is, really, by Emilio Pucci who in the 50 years proposed a pair of tight trousers, then christened leggings. However, they needed another thirty years to transform into a cult piece: it was during the '80s when Madonna wore them with skirts, lace and chains. The fashion trends for 2020 encourage leggings as the perfect option for that comfy-chic style.
How to choose a pair of leggings?
The suggestion is to opt for mono-colored models: leaving the patterned and dark colors to yoga and pilates, the latter are suitable for personalizing with more sartorial garments. When it comes to styling think of them like a pair of trousers or jeans, but they are more comfortable thanks to the elasticated fabric in jersey or lycra.
Wear them with sartorial outerwear and heeled shoes
Once you've chosen your model, the moment has arrived to put together an outfit. Avoid the multi-layered look that was in fashion back in 2000 and choose minimal styles instead. For a luxury effect opt for sartorial outerwear pieces: a maxi blazer and classic trench are perfect. And when temperatures drop, wear leggings with a lovely white shirt, full of volume. When it comes to accessories, fashion suggests shoes with a little heel for slimming the figure, like Texan boots, court shoes and Mary Janes.
