Trend How-To: Liquid Leggings

I personally am not a huge fan of leggings, however, the ‘liquid legging’ trend is one that I’m more than willing to give a go.

Derived from the wet look appearance, these shiny pants are clearly aimed at those who wish to inject extra excitement into their wardrobes, and with the amount of colours, prints and styles, there is sure to be one to suit most tastes.

As with most trends, the key is to wearing this right, as it can easily go astray, landing you on the worst dressed list quicker than you can say “does my butt look big in this?”

The key to achieving the best look with these is being able to balance out the overall appearance. Because these pants are extremely fitted, teaming them with a longer flowing top or jumper for everyday wear will work to tone down the impact, while adding simple wedges or flats will give this daytime look a sense of effortlessness.

To turn this look to night, pair with stilettos and a more fitted top, adding a blazer for a touch of sophistication.

    My jeans haven’t seen the light of day for at least 2 yrs! Yes, I am addicted to leggings!
    I must admit though I have been cautious with liquid leggings – because of their shiny-ness they are more difficult to pull-off. The perfect alternative are the Sass & Bide ‘Rats’ leggings in black – the rouching helps to minimize the shiny-ness & seems to give a slimming effect, which my thighs & butt happily welcome!

    They look great but I think you have to have the body of a VS model to get away with this look!!

    leggings are so hard to pull off. It’s a shame I have drumstick legs otherwise I’d give them a go.
