Apologizing for the "dumb" question - but could you tell me how you wear Linea Leggings?

I wear mine with tunics but since you stated you don't want to wear them that way, I would wear a boyfriend length cardigan over them with a cute tank underneath and long necklace. I don't know about wearing them under a dress.... I'm 55 and think that look is a bit juvenile for my age, but that's just my opinion.

I am 68 and wear a 1X in pants, and kept my Linea leggings all of 2 seconds after trying them on (I was swayed by the entire world wearing leggings and tunics....), seeing myself in a full length mirror, and with great alarm putting them in the bag to return. Honestly, sometimes the trends are just not worth it. When I was thin and young and wore trendy things I would have loved these. Well, maybe "liked" them.

I look fine in jeans, skirts and tights, trousers with some ease. These were hilariously awful.

Not a dumb question at all.

The ONLY place I wear leggings is when I work out at the YMCA. I'm sorry, but at 58 and although I've lost 47 (!!) pounds I look pretty good in them, they are just not ME.

I see gals my age with them on and I honestly just roll my eyes. No can do.

Congratulations on the 47 pounds. That is a lot of hard work!

I am tall and relatively thin. Look good in jeans (or I would not wear them) but I seldom see anyone over 20 where I live in leggings. I think it is a look for the very young and I also think you need thin legs to look good in them.

i guess this is a really good question..

Just had a friend return from Europe (Germany, England, France and Italy). She said almost all the women she saw were wearing yoga style pants and leggings. She was in larger cities and said she was surprised at the casual clothing she saw as that had not been her experience on prior visits.

On the how to wear leggings...IMO, you do need to wear a top that comes down mid thigh and you will probably feel more comfortable in darker colored leggings. I wear my leggings both over the top of my ankle boots and tucked into my ankle boots. My boots are the same color as my leggings (black).

You say you don't want to wear w/ tunics...but IMO, to wear them 'correctly' for age and size, a tunic length top is essential...can be a sweater, a shirt and anorak jacket...but something to cover the rear end and the front (for modesty).

The other option would be to just wear some nice ponte knit straight leg pants. That style is way more forgiving and you still have the 'look' of a closer to the body pant, without feeling uncomfortable.

Good luck...have fun...and no one will really care what you wear on your trip but you!

I live in leggings and tunics everyday. In winter it's a thermal shirt one of those long skinny tees under it and a vest or a nice cozy fleece D&Co top.

If I'm going out to dinner or something it is a BF jacket and tanks or a nice long necklace with a white button down shirt looks great.

Boots, a ballet slipper or clogs on my feet sandels in summer. If I could still walk in heels I'd wear them too.

I'm even game for a certain kind of dress or skirt with my leggings.

BTW I am 77

...on my legs. They just didn't look right when I wore them on my head.
