1. Add a Dose of Red

A beautiful sweater in a bold shot of red is a beautiful way to accent black leggings. Just make sure your sweater is long enough to cover your bottom and private parts.

    1. Hi Mary, You can still wear leggings if you have heavy, curvy thighs. Try pairing your leggings with tunics, longer blouses, and short dresses no longer than mid-thigh. You may also want to try a top that is low contrast. For example, wear a dark top like burgundy, black, or dark green to create a longer, leaner line if you wear black leather leggings. Bright or light colors will emphasize your legs/leggings. Enjoy!
