Overview
With their easy fit, versatile styling and incredible comfort, leggings are a garment that easily sparks addiction. Dressed up or down, you can find a way to wear leggings for practically any occasion. One of the ways to change the look of your leggings is by the shoes that you wear with them. Open-toe shoes offer a hint of sexiness for your leggings.
Solid Color
When you want both your shoes and leggings to complement each other without clashing, it's best to choose styles that are classic and understated. Open-toe shoes command attention because they draw the eye down, but you can create the same focus with your leggings. While not as flashy as other styles, solid-color leggings are more versatile because they don't contain distracting details or embellishments. Not only are solid colors more slimming, they also make it easier to layer underneath other garments like skirts and dresses.
Sequin
Best suited for nighttime activities, leggings in a sequin style were made to turn heads and spark envy. Sequin leggings should be styled carefully to avoid a costumey appearance. Keep your top, accessories and, especially, your shoes minimal. This is where open-toe shoes come in handy because they have just enough detail to add a little drama, but not enough to clash with the extreme nature of sequin leggings.
Velvet
Lush and warm, with just a hint of texture, velvet-style leggings are one of the hottest designs of the moment. While not as in-your-face as sequin leggings, velvet leggings have their own detail due to the subtle sheen of the fabric when it catches the light. Therefore, it's essential that you avoid open-toe shoes that have any additional shine to them because the result is overkill. Instead, stick to traditional leather styles with a muted color palette.
Printed or Patterned
Not for the faint of heart or those that exercise modesty, leggings that are printed or patterned are a fabulous way to show your style personality. Your choice of a specific print or pattern says a lot about you, and so do your shoes, so make sure that they complement each other. Any garment that is printed/patterned is going to command the bulk of the attention, so your open-toe shoes should merely play the background. No details, embellishments or bright colors necessary, keep it simple.
