Katie Holmes Leggings — Speedy Spotlight

Speedy Fashion Spotlight: Haven’t jumped on the leggings band wagon yet?
     Try enjoying the remaining warm days of summer (while segueing into fall) with these simple steps for getting the legging look right.

1. Choose a dark flattering shade that reads mature (think black, grey or navy instead of bright yellow and orange).
2.  Flatter legs by picking a brand that reaches all the way to ankle or hits just below the knee. 
3. Skip crazy patterns, leather and lace in favor of sleek Audrey Hepburn-esque leggings (not Lindsay Lohan leggings).
4. Pair with simple ballet flats or gladiator sandals (heels can be “too much” unless you’re a tween).
5.  Remember that leggings are not pants to be paired with a tiny top. Instead, wear with a long dress or tunic that hits just above the knee.

• BUY IT: Try a simple, affordable brand like Xhilaration’s stirrup leggings from Target, or a cropped, classic pair like Xhilaration ebony leggings.

ADMIRE IT: The beautiful Katie Holmes looks age and attire appropriate as a mother by wearing sleek leggings with flats, a floral top and a long layered cardigan.
