Currently Shopping: Tops For Leggings
UPDATED DECEMBER 29, 2022
Hello, my friends!
Back at it to share an updated version of one of my most popular posts from earlier last year.
As a general rule of thumb, I like to cover at least half of my bum while wearing leggings. Of course, that’s just my personal preference — some people like to wear crop tops with leggings, and others like to have their bums fully covered. Either way, the only rule I have around here is to wear what makes you feel good today, just as you are.
Now, you may have already found your favorite leggings. If you haven’t, be sure to check out my fantastic guide on The Best Leggings For Everything. I don’t think I would’ve survived the past year without these cotton leggings (plus sizing here), I wear them at least once a week (size large) in the cooler months and not enough people know about them! But this post is about tops, so I’ll stay on track here…
What to shop:
A general search term I like to use when looking for longer-length tops is “tunics” — often times I’ll find some good options by using that. I also look for “split hem” tops like this, this, this, and this option. Like most things, finding tops that are long enough for your comfort level requires a little trial and error. I also love sweaters like this for when you want to layer with a shirt underneath. You may also want to consider purchasing shirts in “tall” lengths. I know Athleta, Old Navy + Gap offer this. Here are a few of my go-to brands when shopping for legging-friendly tops (you can click on each name to shop).
Where to shop:
ABERCROMBIE | ABLE | ANTHROPOLOGIE | AMAZON ESSENTIALS | ATHLETA | DAILY RITUAL | GOODTHREADS | J.CREW | LOFT | MADEWELL | NORDSTROM | NORDSTROM RACK | OLD NAVY | QVC | SPANX | WALMART
Another pro tip: No-show underwear to avoid visible panty lines (VPL) underneath leggings.
