Nowadays, when you go outside for exercise, it’s common to see stylish women confidently walking the streets in tight leggings and short tops. A few years ago, wearing such outfits might have been a spectacle, but now, leggings looks have long been normalized. What has changed, however, is that instead of long tops covering the hips, many are now wearing short tops that fully reveal the waistline.

Leggings are also very comfortable for autumn hiking. Although leggings are tight, their high elasticity and stretchability help to shape the body, creating a slimming effect. They are so tension-free that they don’t cause any discomfort even during intense activities, which is why we love wearing them so much.

You can adjust the size from there. So, avoid buying multiple pairs from the start. Even if brands use the same sizing numbers, the detailed specifications can be different, so it's essential to check reviews and detailed sizes before ordering.

When coordinating leggings with padding, which is a favorite outerwear during cold days like these, make sure the color of the leggings matches well with the pattern of the padding. Generally, leggings in neutral or dark colors match well with most padding, so it's safe to start with dark colors.

If you're not confident about your body, choose padding with a length that slightly covers the waistline instead of a very short design.

In colder weather, layering leg warmers or knee socks over leggings is also a good idea. Not only does it help maintain warmth, but it also creates a pretty and feminine leg line, even if your legs aren't perfectly long and slender. Wearing UGGs or padded boots is also a good option.

Avoid excessive layering andaim for a simple yet sophisticated look, which is key for winter padding and leggings coordination.
