Leggings will give you the ideal chance to wear your boat shoes, flat shoes, the ballet style shoes, moccasins and boots with low heels. So it is advisable that you wear flat shoes with leggings and avoid high heels.
3. Do not substitute leggings for pants
Though leggings are comfortable, never substitute them for pants. This is because when leggings are substituted as pants they lead to a lot of exposure. Always cover your butt and front with the dress you wear with leggings. You can wear skirt, top or even a shirt but they should be long enough to cover your bottoms and front. Do not wear anything with the leggings which is too tight and clinging to your body.
