You can jazz it up with a voguish ankle boots and bag. If you are unsure on how to ride on the wet look portmanteau, I’ll give you some helpful tips on the do’s and don’ts on wearing wet look leggings before flashing them to everyone.
DO’S
- Match them with an oversized top to soften the harshness of its look. Loose-fitting jersey shirts and tops accented with batwing sleeves will definitely look good on it.
- Your top should cover your entire hips and butt. A visible panty line looks crude and is a big no-no in wearing any leggings. The hemline should drape midway on the thigh.
- Pair it with slouchy, relaxed tops that hang like drapes, as this perfectly contrasts wet look leggings.
- Match your wet look leggings with contrasting colors.
- Wear high heel shoes–preferably the gladiators, stilettos and ankle boot heels.
- Wear this with a gorgeous coat dress.
- Give that glam rock look a bang with wet look leggings highlighted with zippers at the ankle
- Choose wet look leggings with really flat texture which provides a great horizontal and vertical stretch. This will give a very polished and wrinkle-free look, pretty much like a second skin.
- Tuck in the excess legging hemlines under the heels. This gives the illusion of height and prevents a heap from accumulating at the bottom.
DON’TS
- Never expose the crotch area. Nothing is more disgusting seeing the stretchy silhouette in between the legs.
- Pair it with knee-high boots unless you’re auditioning for a super heroine to fight away the aliens.
- Wear those insane variations where it will show your knees. They’re complete abomination and should be banned from the fashion world forever!
