What can you wear with leggings?

Open any fashion magazine and you'll see that leggings are in.

These body contouring pants now go way beyond basic black. Leather, sequin and printed leggings are seen on fashionistas and celebrities everywhere. Among some of the most popular prints are animal prints, houndstooth and florals.

However, an Australian company recently released a pair of leggings printed with muscle images that are getting a lot of press.

According to the Daily Mail, Australian label Black Milk Clothing's muscle leggings are "printed with the anatomically correct layout of the bare human muscle, with sinews, ligaments and muscle fibres printed in blood red."

While finding the perfect outfit to complement that print may be difficult, style experts say there are ways to ensure that you're a fashion hit, rather than a miss, when it comes to wearing leggings.

One of the best ways to incorporate leggings into your wardrobe is to wear them under dresses and skirts. Not only does this look great, but it is ideal for anyone who feels self-conscious wearing such form-fitting pants.

Those who want to wear leggings as pants may choose to pair them with a long sweater, blazer or tunic.

Celebrity designer Lauren Conrad told US Weekly that leggings can be worn with heels for a more sophisticated look or flats for a more casual one. Many also choose boots and booties to finish off their legging looks.

"They are a staple for me when I'm going out, and I honestly I put the leggings on everybody, because they're so flattering," Conrad told Us Weekly. "You can make them look very chic or more rocker and a little edgier."

Whether you're looking for leggings to add to your wardrobe or pieces to wear with your favorite pair, consider a store that specializes in used clothing to get the most for your money.
