Must have: Shiny Legging

Shiny leggings are big news this season and all the celebs have been squeezing their perfect pins into them. Every fashion lover should have at least 1 pair! However, the shiny or ‘wet-look’ (be it leather, lycra or latex) legging is not for the faint-hearted, but as long as you wear them with confidence, you'll stand out for all the right reasons.


Shiny leggings are probably unlikely fashion heroes, but with an early '90s feel slowly coming through over the last couple of seasons, these provocative pieces are just what you need to anchor a hot, rise-of-the-supermodel-inspired look. Having said that, sometimes mastering this look can be just as difficult as trying to get some of these skin-tight pieces on! You are on the correct line with thinking about long tops though: over sizing will make the perfect contrast; you don't want to look too over-done, so keeping things on the right side of casual is key.

Tips: Match the legging with oversized boyfriend shirt (checkered or plain), belted shirt, super-short mini dress or trench coat. As your legs and your fabulous leggings are going to be the main focus of attention, what you put on your feet has to be just as good as what's on top; chunky platform, flat, wedges or pair it with oxford heels for more striking look.
