The Loud Legging: Bold Colors and Graphic Prints



    The latest fashion reports are in and leggings are on the "must have" list once again. 2013 is predicted as perhaps the highest selling year for leggings of colors, patterns, graphics and basic black. If you're looking to get a leg up on the leggings trend for Spring you're in the right place.  Leggings continue to be trendy this Spring/Summer season as many major fashion houses and mainstream commercial brands offer leggings in their collections.  I can see why leggings have been favored by trend-setters and fashionistas everywhere. Having been a legging lover for over a decade, my love affair is far from being over.  What I love most about leggings is their polyester and spandex blend which allows legs to feel comfortable, despite being made of skin-tight material.  The end result is a thinner and more toned looking pair of legs.  Whether you buy your first pair or your twentieth pair, 2013 is the year to explore.
     Some of the leggings this season have been designed to look more like skinny pants or jeans.  They are made from thicker fabrics and have some additional attributes such as pockets, zippers, leather applications studs, sparkles, and buttons.   Nail down a gorgeous street chic ensemble by teaming up your fave leggings with a leather jacket, a slouchy t-shirt or an oversized sweater. Leggings can be worn for both casual and evening looks.  For dressing to go out, choose leggings with these embellishments. Depending on your body type, you can either wear a dressy cropped top or looser fitting flouncy shirt. Women with slender figures should match leggings with cropped tops and jackets. On the other hand, if you're shy about flaunting your curvy silhouette, all you have to do is go for the ultra-vogue long t-shirt and cardigan combination.   Of course, heels are a necessity to complete this alluring look as they add extra inches to your height, making you look thinner and leaving you feeling great.
       Prints, graphics, color blocking, bold colors and various fabrications have been making the headlines for 2013 and leggings are no exception.  Printed leggings offer you the chance to channel your punk, grungy or rock 'n' roll spirit into a colorful and on trend clothing style. These are bottoms that allow you to break out of your boring box and start a new chapter in your aspiring style icon diary.  Just remember that when rocking a wild print it's best to limit the rest of your ensemble to one or two solid colors.
      My favorite clothing brands offer a gorgeous selection of leggings decorated with tie-dye, animal and abstract prints, and stripes. Celebrate the infinite palette of prints this season by incorporating leggings into your casual chic and semi-formal outfits. Most importantly, stay confident and trust your style charisma when purchasing the most flattering leggings designs. Think about the impression you want to create and go for bold and bright or more low key and neutral-colored styles. These clothing elements will definitely speak for your experimental style.
     Flashy Spring 2013 trends call for something eye-catching and, of course, chic as ever! Leggings covered in bold colors and designs can flatter an entire outfit by being the central focal point. Here are several pairs of leggings with exotic, digital and graphic prints that will help any girl flaunt her assets in the loudest and most playful way possible.
