Brown leggings can be paired up with almost any type of outfit and one of the safest choices for those who shy away from bold, attention-grabbing colors. Brown leggings are so versatile and can effortlessly transform and diversify your outfit for as long as you wear them right. Before you match it with the rest of the outfit, be mindful of your body size, height and the kind of look you want to pull off for a specific occasion. Your entire fashion statement should revolve around those essential criteria.
Choosing Brown Leggings
Texture
Since brown is a neutral color, it’s so easy to match it with almost all type of tops and shoes. You can start off with an opaque pair or something sheer that you can pair up with tunics, shirt dresses, and long oversized shirts. Matte is also a popular choice for its slimming effect while the wet look variety looks great to wear in parties and in other social circuits.
Length
For tall, skinny women, you can pull off brown leggings of any length just fine. However, plus size women should refrain from wearing cropped leggings that hit mid calf as this will accentuate your thick legs. Instead, go for ankle length ones. For those with shorter legs, you can tuck in excess leggings at the bottom under your heels. This will add an illusion of height and also prevents unwanted heap from piling up at the bottom.
Shape
Chocolate brown will give an impression of slimmer legs so wear this color if you want to camouflage your heavy rolls and still look fashionable. Make sure to choose leggings that will appropriately flatter your body.
Tops
Invest in roomy tunics, minidress, miniskirts, shorts, oversize sweaters, shirt dresses, long cardigans and jacket that match perfectly with brown leggings. Tops with empire style and front-knots are great choices for those wanting to conceal the hips, tummy and thigh area. It should be generally loose-fitting to create a balance with the tightness of the leggings and must fall midway on the thighs to have an ample coverage on your lady parts. Take note, leggings are not substitute for pants so make sure that you wear a long top to avoid getting overexposed. You should also minimize wearing something overly tight with your brown leggings.
Shoes
Leggings look perfect with both high heels and flats but of course it would depend on the desired look you want to achieve. Leggings paired with high heels can lengthen your legs while flats are perfect for casual and comfortable wear. Ballerina shoes, boots, frilly thong sandals, oxfords, wedges, and stilettos make a great footwear combination for all sorts of looks.
Brown and Black
I’m sure someone has vehemently advised you to never mix brown with black in your outfit. I say it’s time to break that obsolete rule and use these fabulous colors to your advantage. You should always remember that these neutrals go with anything so why can’t you mix them together? Try lighter shades of brown such as taupe or nude to create a chic contrast with black.
