Pull up your socks and leggings!

Express News Service

People who love fashion can experiment with anything under the sun, right from their bags, clothes to even socks.

 Yes.

 Even socks! Since winter is just around the corner, its not just the sweaters you need to pull out of your cupboard, but also your gloves, stockings, leggings and tights.

 If your are wearing a plain outfit with a neutral shade, a bright coloured legging is all that you need to jazz up your winter outfit.

 A simple tight in black or dark brown shade will coordinate well with woollen dresses and skirts and will also keep your leg warm.

 Moreover, for starters that is the the best way to sport leggings and its always a safe bet to wear shorts, skirts or long tshirts on top of them.

 Ankle length leggings are definitely the hottest style at the moment, but play around with proportions and decide on the length that looks best on you.

 Leggings that hit midcalf might look good on a tall, skinny girl, but might make a shorter leg look wide.

 Wear leggings made of thick fabric.

 Other than keeping you warm it will also provide support to your not so perfect abdominal areas and make your legs look toned.

 If you have heavy legs, its better to stay away from bright colours or bold prints, as they can make your legs appear larger.

 Plan to invest in flowy dresses, tunic tops, and shorter skirts - they pair perfectly with leggings.

 If you’re going to a party, try a pair of small fishnet tights with a simple black dress and black heels.

 Its best to keep remaining accessories simple to keep the look from becoming too busy and ornate.

 If you are a socks person, there are many websites which sell fun, funky socks such as knee high socks with ninjas, unicorns, and monkeys; men’s socks with moustaches, monsters and beer! Whether you have big or small legs, kneehigh and over-the-knee socks can compliment your bone structure.

 People with bigger thighs should wear socks just below the knee for a smallerthigh look, while those with smaller thighs can wear overthe- knee socks to highlight their small thighs.

 Try both styles on to see what you like best.

FEW TIPS

_ Thick, plain fabrics like double knits don’t show bulges.

 _ Layering is crucial.

 Think of leggings as tights rather than pants; put them under skirts, dresses, or tunics.

 _ Longer tops camouflage tush, stomach, and hips.

 _ Leggings can look tacky with the wrong footwear.

 Go for flats, boots, or a low heel
