Missives and Musings: Fashion in the winter

Okay so anyone who has grown up in the mid west knows that it get really C O L D here from November to March. So girls, I know you are all pretty sick of wearing the same old jeans or sweat pants with the cleanest hoodie you can find. I know I was this time last year. Now I'm sure we've all noticed the girls around campus wearing leggings or tights as pants and you may be thinking they're crazy well I'm here to say that I am one of those leggings wearing girls. You may be saying, "How in the world do you stay warm" well it is surprisingly warm to walk through campus wearing leggings and a sweater dress. I feel like wearing leggings is a way to look cute in the winter. However I have noticed that many girls wear their leggings inappropriately. So here are a few leggings do's and dont's

DON'TS

1. PLEASE for the love of God wear a LONG shirts or go and invest in a long tank top because there is nothing less attractive then seeing a girls butts with skin tight leggings allowing for a lot of jiggling

2. Please, Please, Please, don't wear leggings in between your calf and your ankle. YOU LOOK STUPID! Especially if you don't look like a barbie. It makes every flaw you have in your lower legs that much more obvious.

3. Please try to refrain from wearing polyester or animal printed leggings. I don't think I need to explain myself on that one.

DO'S

1. Don't be afraid to experiment with stalkings. It makes a simple black top much classier. You could wear these plain or on top of white or black leggings.

2. Try out multiple colors of leggings. I personally have black, grey, white, and purple. Granted I wear the black ones most often but those purples ones do come in handy :)

3. Don't limit yourself. You don't always have to wear a dress with leggings. You can wear a sweatshirt, a long tank top, a sweater, or even a t-shirt.
