MOMMA KNOWS… tops and tunics to wear with leggings

I covered leggings a few days ago, now its time to talk about the perfect tops and tunics to cover them!  Everything from oversized knits to blousy tunics and tops work perfectly provided the crotch and bum are covered!  If there are no pocket or zippers keep that area concealed with a longer length top.  Tops and tunics need to also have more volume if paired with leggings – its all about balancing the silhouette – so since the bottom are slim keep the upper half a bit bigger – this doesn’t have to mean huge – it can still be tailored nicely to the body (for example longer top with a fitted blazer) but just provided you’re not pairing skin tight with skin tight.  I said it a few days ago – leggings are not pants and must be treated as so – so choosing the appropriate tops and tunics to wear with them is key to pulling off the look…  Also, these aren’t your 80′s leggings so while you might go with an oversized knit on top make sure you’re not also pairing them with chunky socks on the bottom – a fabulous little boot (motorcycle or ankle) is ultra cool and modern.  Check out some of my favorite tops and tunics to pair with your beloved leggings and look fabulous this winter!
