Leggings

I have a question regarding leggings. Do you think they are appropriate for those over 40? I was thinking with flats and a hip length tunic.
Thanks, Tc45



The most important aspect of any accessory is look, not age. The leggings will visually cut your leg somewhere below the knee, and the tunic will provide another cut of the vertical line. Can your body support this? The tunic, if hip length, may show your bottom in the back. Can it take the exposure? A good tunic will provide enough structure to balance the skin tight fit of the leggings, and not provide another body hugging aspect at the top. The proper footwear is required to balance leggings. Anything too bulky or wide will add an exercise feeling to your ensemble, so be careful about the proportion of the shoes.

Wearing spandex is a privilege, not a right. If the ensemble is perfect, the tunic covering what should be covered, and the leggings exposing what should be exposed, the outfit will be a big success. If there's a work-out, sub-casual feel to the leggings, the shoes; plus an unstructured top, that's 3 strikes at any age.
