Fabric
This is important since tights with feet and leggings are two different things. Too many ladies walking through the airport in footless tights reveal far too much to the outside world. Leggings should be made of a thick, completely opaque (not see-through), and very elastic fabric. They ought to resemble stretch pants rather than tights. These excellent materials are perfect for leggings:

Yes, they are comfortable, and no, they are not just for young women.
The greatest fit doesn’t feel or appear like a sausage casing, and imitation leather leggings are no different from regular spandex leggings in that they breathe.
All of these textiles require a significant amount of spandex or lycra to allow for knee and seat spring back. Fabrics with a four-way stretch have the best fit and recovery. Darker hues look more elegant and slimming. Choose the simplest patterns in soft hues because patterns might be hard.
Fit
Go up a size if your leggings feel like a sausage casing; they should be snug. They’ll be more comfortable, and you won’t have to lose style. Pick wide, no-roll leggings that have a high rise. Nothing is worse than reclining and feeling your waistband roll down under your tummy.
Over 50s Shoes To Wear With Leggings
What do you put on your feet then? Knee boots or riding boots go well together. To create a long lean line, pick boots that are the same color as the leggings. Another timeless style is ballet flats—just think of Audrey Hepburn.” Leggings look fantastic with low-heeled shoes, but stilettos are tricky to pull off and may easily veer toward trashy. Leggings look great with boots.
Wearing a sweater
I’d like to start by discussing these Spanx faux leather leggings. You’ve undoubtedly seen me or another blogger wearing these on Instagram. Additionally, I’ve mentioned them on this website on a few occasions! I adore the faux leather style of these leggings, which are a terrific pair. If you’re petite, get the petite version in your usual size because they run long. I paired them with a lovely pre-layered sweater from Brochu Walker for this outfit. How to wear a pre-layered sweater is the subject of a whole post I wrote here. This sweater’s longer length looks well with the leggings. I added a pair of my favorite combat boots and a timeless black handbag to finish the look.
With a shirt and a jacket
Although they are made from Spanx, these leggings don’t have the faux leather texture. Because they are so forgiving, I adore every pair of Spanx leggings. They aren’t the softest, but they offer excellent stomach and leg control, ensuring that everything stays exactly where you want it. I’m covering my bottom with a chambray shirt that I’m wearing with leggings. I’m covering the shirt with a stylish green jacket by Marissa Webb, which is sadly out of stock. The jacket has a really practical appearance, and I adore the color! Here is further information about the utility trend. Since 2018, these snake-embossed boots have been a mainstay in my wardrobe!
Through A Puffer
This outfit is perfect if you’re searching for a quicker, more relaxed way to wear your leggings throughout the colder months. Do you know any other working mothers? Wear your favorite boots with your leggings and a long, comfortable sweater to keep your bum covered. Put on your puffer and helmet if you’re rushing out the door, and you’re good to go!
Utilizing a cardigan
I adore how the most covered-up look can be the sexiest. Leggings may be attractive! Unfortunately, the pre-layered sweater I’m wearing is out of stock, but I linked a substitute! I wore a super-soft cardigan from Barefoot Dreams over the sweater. I added leather over-the-knee boots to dress up and sex up the outfit, but you could also use the boots for Look #2. This pair is out of stock, however, I linked some replacements.
Generally, the best clothing to wear with leggings is:
- Tunics
- asymmetrical tunics and tops
- short skirts
- Knitted clothing
- long sweaters made of knit
- asymmetrical pieces that are longer
- long sweaters
- broad, bulky sweaters
- hooded dresses
How To Style Shoes With Leggings
Brown pants and sneakers are worn by Abi
You can wear a broad variety of shoes with your leggings, as you can see from all the examples in this post.
Since they will further stretch your leg line, I believe open vamp shoes look the greatest.
However, in cooler climates, you can wear your leggings with footwear that has closed toes, such as booties, sneakers, and knee-high boots.
