Leggings and leggings are models of trousers with an adjoining fit, emphasizing the figure. After a brief oblivion this season, they are relevant again. Popularity was promoted by worldwide nostalgia for the 90s, and in those years leggings were considered a truly cult item of clothing.
There are no design differences between leggings and tights, although it is believed that the former have a lower density. In general, the cut is the same - narrowed, providing a tight fit. Such trousers are sewn from knitted fabrics, usually with a high content of elastane. It gives the material plasticity, protects against deformation and prevents the formation of uncomfortable folds.
This season, leggings with a complex cut, correcting the figure, models made of material imitating leather, variants with a print are relevant. An important condition is the high quality of tailoring and sufficient tissue density. An unusual detail that has recently come into vogue is strips. They not only act as an accent, but also increase comfort.
Elastic material, similar in structure to a thin husky or suede, is comfortable to wear and looks expensive.
An excellent addition to leather leggings will be a rustic sweater with arans, a voluminous jacket, a hoodie made of tight knitwear. Experiments with such trousers are permissible not only in the formation of everyday images, but also in the evening - you can complement leather leggings with a shiny top and a satin or velvet coat.
Speaking of eco-leather leggings, it is impossible not to recall the famous fashion influencers - the Jenner-Kardashian family, who clearly gravitate towards this item of clothing.
An important point: do not combine leather leggings with a top with an animalistic print - the image will look defiant.
Initially, leggings made of knitted fabric of different densities were intended for gyms. On the streets of cities, the model stepped after bicycle shorts, complemented by voluminous classic jackets, sweatshirts and rough shoes.
The trendsetter was Jambatista Valley, who dressed the models in Nike sports leggings in combination with silk blouses and boats.
Leggings with inserts and anatomical cut are one of the most popular options among all sports models. Their advantages are not only in the expressive appearance, but also in the fact that such models correct the figure and have a slight compression effect - that is, they evenly distribute the load, not allowing the legs to get tired, and prevent swelling.
Such leggings are in the wardrobe of Olivia Palermo, Taylor Swift, Hailey Bieber.
Colored leggings are also combined with contrasting things. But in recent years, the popularity of total-onion images is growing rapidly. And if you plan to replenish your wardrobe with colored leggings, choose those that will be combined with other things: cardigans and jackets, hoodies and sweatshirts, windbreakers and parks. This is a really hot trend of the 2022 season.
It is not necessary that the colors are completely the same. Form an image of 3-5 related shades, one gamma. For example, Emily Ratajkowski prefers noble wine colors.
Melanie Griffith is a supporter of restrained black, and her daughter Dakota Johnson prefers images with accents.
Leggings with a print can not be called a novelty, but today they pay close attention. It is noteworthy that stylists no longer insist that there should be only one thing with a drawing in the image. Moreover, the prints are combined with each other. For example, at the Roberto Cavalli show, an image of leggings with a complex pattern and a jacket with a similar print in the same range was presented.
Balenciaga supports the idea, but goes even further: the designers of the fashion house recommend a printed total bow.
But printed leggings survive on the streets of the city, not just on the catwalks. The famous fan of leggings Jennifer Lopez produces her own line of trousers of this model. Paparazzi have repeatedly photographed the star in leggings: she prefers to wear them with a monochromatic top, including a shortened one.
There are other options for using leggings with prints - choose to your taste and repeat this spring and summer.
The trend is eclectic and does not think to fade. Gone are the days when sportswear was considered inappropriate on the streets of cities. Leggings in a sporty style, which so expressively emphasizes the lampas, easily fit into everyday images.
To reduce the degree of informality, they should not be combined with an abundance of sports supplements. As a top, a shirt, a denim jacket or even a classic coat will do. But sneakers or sneakers, although they are sports, will fit into such a bow quite organically, as well as more official boats and sandals.
Leggings with strips are a fundamentally new word in fashion. By itself, the invention was originally intended solely for comfort: trousers for riding were equipped with a fixing strip.
Today, the detail has lost its practical value and plays the role of an accent. To such leggings, it is worth choosing shoes with an open ankle so that the strip is clearly visible.
It is permissible to wear a strip over shoes, skipping under the heel.
Famed experimenter Victoria Beckham combines leggings with ankle boots in tone, and this example is inspiring.
The formation of the trend was influenced by the popularity of fabrics with sequins and sequins, clothes from which penetrated even into street fashion. Leggings were no exception: today designers offer them to be generously decorated with sparkling elements.
Options with embroidery with sequins are suitable for evening images. But in this case, the top should be lightened: a blouse or a top made of plain fabric, silk or velvet, for example, will suit accent leggings.
