In fact, the concept of leggings morphed from the tights that dancers wear when practicing and performing. Then they grabbed a place in the everyday wardrobe of almost every woman.

Leggings are comfortable, warm and flattering and come in a wide range of colors, textures and lengths. Leggings aren’t restrictive. They are generally made of cotton, Lycra, or cotton poly, which makes them stretchy and comfortable. You can move and bend when wearing leggings, which is imperative for the woman on the go who is lugging kids or groceries or heavy briefcases.

As sports gear

Energizing and comfortable

Women who run in the cold-weather months wear leggings, because they keep them warm and dry and allow them to move freely. Wearing “recovery tights” while exercising allows the blood to flow freely, improves stamina, speed and recovery time, as well as boosts the amount of oxygen that is delivered to the muscles.

Leggings such as these offer therapeutic compression, which supports the body and decreases the chance of joint tenderness and injury as well as lessens the likelihood of the runner suffering joint inflammation and soft-tissue damage. Who said leggings were only good for fashion?


As maternity basics

Pair leggings from Neiman Marcus with an off-the-shoulder top and you have a chic, hip look you can build up or down, serious or outrageous. Think of your leggings and a plain top as the black canvas — then add your own touches, from a silky pashmina to a vintage denim jacket. Switch shoes, add jewelry and it’s dressy. Opt for flats and tone down the bling, and you’re minimalist and artsy. So many looks, one basic base. You gotta love that!


As chic look-maker

Pair with sweater and heels
