| I am a pants girl but I see women wearing leggings a lot these days. I am 5'4" and 120lbs so I am a size 4 but not comfortable just wear leggings and a top. What do you wear with your leggings? I don't want anything too trendy (nothing that will be "out" next year) b/c I am a teacher and don't have the budget for it. If you can give links to outfits you might wear, that would be great. |

I have no advice but am in the same boat. 5'6", 125 and don't have the guts to pull off leggings with anything but a sweater dress. Too many years of childhoos in the 80's with my mom not letting me out of the house in tight leggings I guess...
Would love ideas (and body confidence boosters!  ) as well!

| There's a reason you all feel that way about leggings... it's because you're not supposed to wear them as pants. |

I have ponte pants, not leggings but similar idea. I wear them with tunic-length tops or sweaters, or sweater dresses. It has to cover my bottom. And I always wear boots with them to balance the look, otherwise it seems top-heavy to me.
However, leggings are not pants. If you can see the tag through it, you shouldn't be wearing it bare. http://www.kitty-ears.com/2013/01/4-reasons-leggings-are-not-pants.html |

| I really love leggings....I am a teacher, and spend a lot of time on the floor, so they are perfect for that...I just bought 3 new tops from Free People that are perfect for leggings... |

| OP here. I have NO desire to wear leggings as pants. Could someone provide some links to some tunics or sweater dresses that won't break the bank? Also I am not into boots with heels. Can you wear flats with leggings? |
