- Glamourize your jeggings with a stunning pair of heels or a fancy pair of boots to have you being the eye-candy.

- A best length for your jeggings to end should be at the thinnest part of your calf to reveal that sexy ankle and let the attention go to the shoes.
- If in doubt, go for a pair of black jeggings which leaves no traces of under-confidence or un-comfort.
- If you are blessed with more than enough on your lowers, be clever to just choose dark or solid colored jeggings.
- Balance out the clothing on your body with loose or flowy shirts with that skin-hugging pair of jeggings. You don’t wanna end up looking like a “sticky bloat”.
- Pick any style of shoes from loafers to ballerinas or boots to pumps for a chic look with jeggings. All you gotta do is put it all right together and stick to a look that you are following. It could be combined well with high-heel pumps for a formal look or knee-high boots for a general coffee meeting.
- Jeggings for plus size women, should be worn with tunics or tops almost touching the knees. Be careful of the length and the material as you don’t want a skin tight fat-cling layer on your legs.
- Make sure to get out those thongs or G-strings while sporting jeggings. You never know when the panty-lines would fight for their evident appearance. It could be a big faux pas to sport the jeggings along with showing those ugly creases.
