I personally think that leggings are the best idea that the fashion industry has had, 2nd only to the invention of the wireless bra! 👏🏽 I have more leggings than I can count, even multiples of the same pair, because that's what we women do when we love something, we get more of it! lol. I have them in every style and fabric imaginable, but my favorite are Faux leggins! They took the coveted leather pants from the 80's & 90's and made them more versatile, affordable, and wearable, You can wear them to work during the day with a business appropriate shoe, and in the evening slip on a pair of blinged strappy sandal and be ready for the Christmas Party! 💃🏽
But as Versatile as they are, they can be a bit tricky to wear, especially for Curvy girls or plus-size pear-shaped Beauties, So I wanna share a few plus size style tips to help you SLAY in your Faux Leggings.
1. But First, Comfort and Quality!
When selecting faux leather leggings, prioritize comfort and quality. I Look for high-quality fabric that offers control with stretch and breathability. Ensure they fit comfortably around your waist and hips without being too tight or restrictive. Opt for a wide waistband for added support and a smooth silhouette.these leggings can be a fantastic addition to your fashion arsenal. Embracing your curves while feeling confident and comfortable is key.
2. Layer it Up
Layering can be a plus for pear-shaped figures. I love adding a long duster over my leggings. I love the look, I love the drama, and I luvvvv that it hides a "multitude of sins" hint-hint. 😊 A structured blazer or a stylish denim jacket can also work wonders in creating a chic, put-together look.
3. Shoes Matter
Shoes play a vital role in completing the ensemble. Opt for footwear that elongates your legs, like ankle boots, heels, or knee-high boots in the same color, and for bonus points, in the same texture as well! They not only add a touch of sophistication but also help streamline your appearance which i'm always down for. On these occasions I was hanging out with friends and family in the ATL downtown streets so I opted for a pair of white blinged sneakers, keeping my cute comfy urban chic black & white vibe going.
4. Play with Textures and Patterns
Mixing textures and patterns can divert attention and add depth to your outfit. Pair your leggings with textured tops or incorporate patterns strategically. Experiment with bold, printed tops or textured sweaters to draw attention upwards.
5. Balance with Flowy or Tunic Tops
To create a well-balanced look, pair your faux leather leggings with flowy or tunic tops that extend below the hip. These tops help in creating a proportional silhouette, skimming over your hips and accentuating your waist. Tunics with asymmetrical hems or interesting patterns draw attention upwards, balancing the wider hip area.
6. Belting and Accessorizing
Highlight your waist with a stylish belt to accentuate your curves. Opt for medium-width belts worn at your natural waistline to emphasize your shape. Additionally, accessorize with statement jewelry, hats or scarves to draw the eye upwards and add personality to your ensemble
7. Put your Best Face Forward
Speaking of drawing the eye upwards, ensuring that your skin is glowing and makeup is flowing is essential. I like to pick at least one facial feature as the focal point. I.e. eyes, skin, cheeks, lips. On a minimalist makeup day, it's the lips for me. Nothing Elevates a look from ordinary to extraordinary like a Red Lip. Pairing it with a black & white fit is chef's kiss! 👄
CONFIDENCE IS KEY
The most important accessory is your confidence. Own your style and feel fabulous in whatever you wear. Embrace and celebrate your curves. Confidence is your best asset, eLevating any outfit you put together.
Fashion is about expressing yourself and feeling great in your own skin. Faux leather leggings for plus-size pear-shaped beauties can be a fantastic addition to your wardrobe when styled thoughtfully. Experiment with these tips, but remember, the most important thing is feeling comfortable and confident in whatever you wear.
