However, before the acquisition of this trendy thing, many women ask questions about what to wear leggings with what items of the wardrobe they can be combined to look stylish and modern. We help to understand.
As it was before and now
- Leggings were invented in the XVIII century as the front men's trousers and were designed to protect from the cold and stress muscular legs. They were made from the skin of an elk and worn in a wet form, since they were very narrow.
- In the 80s
years of the last century the designer with the world name Karl Lagerfeld unexpectedly gave leggings a second chance to exist. These were rebellious years, a challenge to bourgeoisness, classics and the standard of life. Not surprisingly, the youth enthusiastically embraced the idea of a great couturier. As a rule, synthetic, shiny, poisonous colors leggings wore with shapeless sweaters or t-shirts. They looked, according to current standards, funny and not quite aesthetically, but completely corresponded to the spirit of the times.
- Today, comfortable tight pants are in the wardrobe of almost every woman. In 2017 the interpretation of these peculiar trousers in their collections was presented by many designers. In their opinion, any woman can wear leggings, regardless of age and figure, the main thing is to pick them up in size, color and be able to competently make stylish ensembles. You can wear them with anything - with a skirt, dress, tunic.
