At first I hated the whole leggings trend that's going on. But lately I have been itching to get a pair. I want to wear leggings with a tunic top but I am afraid of the fact that I have wide hips and a big booty, I don't want to bring too much attention to it. It seems the girls I usually see wearing this are really petite girls. Would I be able to pull this off?

HAHA...I actually did wear them in the 80's as a child.

If you wear a longer tunic(not too long, like just over your booty), it would look cute. I doubt it will bring too much attention, because the leggings will be covered a bit with the tunic. Try on the outfit and see if you feel comfortable in it, that's the most important thing.

i wore them as a kid in the 80s. And it was fine back then when I was like 12 and didn't have my curvy womanly figure that I have now. But I would never wear them now. I tried on some a few years back with a long tunic top, and I am just way too curvy for those anymore. My butt and hips looked enormous. And because they are tapered to the ankle, they made everything look bigger. Which is definately not good either. That goes against the fashion rules on What Not To Wear on TLC.
I will wear them if I am hanging out at home watching tv or a movie and I am cold. Or I will buy ones for working out at the gym..but that's it.

Leggings ARE still in, everyone is still selling them. I say try ‘em! I have wider hips and a bigger booty myself, so the only thing to watch out for is to make sure the tunic top is “fitted”, but not “tight”. And as for the person who said “age is a factor” – BS! It’s all about attitude. I know 30-40 year olds who pull off modern fashion trends better than most 20-year olds.

I've really never liked leggings to much. I like tights a lot more.
You can wear a tunic with tights too, they make footless ones.
As for you being able to pull them off, they might not look that great, but you should still try it.

Your body type may not work with leggings, but try some on first! They may make you look even slimmer. Age is a factor also! One rule of thumb to follow: If you wore them out in the 80's, don't wear them now!

As long as your tunic covers your booty. Maybe. I hate seeing women wearing them and not covering up the dimples, if you know what I mean.

Wide hips are in, as long as you dont put tight clothes on them, but if the dress is covering it up it should be fine...And get ankle leggings. Calf ones are too short and look kiddish

I really think they are super cute, but I also have tried them on and have thick thighs. I think they look really cute with a destroyed mini jean skirt, and depending on the style you get, it could help minimize your size :o) Maybe try getting some with some vertical pinstripes, too, that would be cute!
Good luck girl!

I debate the same thing because they do look really cute. Sounds like you are built like me so it would not be a good idea plus I think they are for women 25 and under. Dresses and tights are the bomb though for us.

Leggings have gone out of style. I would strongly advise against it.
Opaque stockings and dresses are whats in now. Try that.
