MOMMA KNOWS… what tops to wear with leggings

I recently did a post about the best leggings and how to wear them – but I wanted to do this follow up post with the best tops to wear with them.  This is a constant challenge – what tops to wear with leggings – trying to find something long enough and with enough volume to compliment the bottom without looking frumpy.  The two go -to tops to look for are tunic and oversized sweaters.  However, this is where things can start to get messy – always think about the overall silhouette – you don’t want to look like Dorothy from the Golden Girls or like a throw back from the 80′s.  The brilliant thing about this look is that it is so comfortable yet it can also be effortlessly chic and stylish as long as you know what tops to wear with leggings.  I wore leggings paired with oversized tops with blazers or sweaters throughout my pregnancy and you could barely tell I was pregnant until about 7 months in!  So there is the additional advantage that it can hide any extra padding you might have packed on during the holidays and it certainly helped me post baby to mask the non-baby weight!  These tops are versatile, chic and compliment the look of leggings or skinny jeans and can easily take you from the park to the office to the date feeling comfy but looking great!
