Everyone has an opinion when they see someone wearing leggings as pants, or tights with a formal dress. And while sometimes it's just a fashion decision — be it comfort or a sense of personal style — sometimes people just don't know the difference. However, these products, for all their seeming similarities, serve very different purposes, and each should play a specific role in our wardrobes.

Leggings

Leggings are a casual pant alternative that fit down to the ankles. "These opaque pant options can be found in lightweight cotton/spandex to heavier knit fabrics like ponte and double knit," says Laurie Brucker, certified image consultant, personal stylist, and speaker. "They are best worn with oversized sweaters and boots for the Winter and in most casual settings." Leggings, like the Tani USA Go Power Leggings ($95), may or may not be appropriate for the office, depending on your profession.
