Even though leggings are becoming a wardrobe staple for many, a sensible budget is always a good start. While on a shopping spree, we often get distracted and may unfortunately go overboard on the expenditure. So, before you even step out of your home, make a mental note of how much you're willing to spend on leggings. Although leggings come in every budget range imaginable, your aim is to fix a price for yourself.

Considering your body type, you will have to buy leggings that'll accentuate your legs to various degrees. There are four main legging lengths to choose from: i) knee length, ii) mid-calf or capri length, iii) ankle length, and iv) stirrup length. During summer and spring, invest in shorter-length leggings, and delay your purchase for the full-length ones in fall and winter.

When worn with high-heeled shoes, ankle- and stirrup-length leggings work for all body types. As far as knee- and capri-length leggings are concerned, women with slim legs should definitely buy them. Women who are vertically challenged should stay away from capri-length leggings especially as they tend to cut you in half, making you seem shorter. While the length of the legging can be quite the determining factor according to your height, your body type is an important consideration. If you have a pear-shaped body and you definitely are convinced about wearing leggings, wear a darker colored one as it will make you look slimmer.

Besides the basic black, brown, tan, and gray-colored leggings, there are tons of different types available in the market today. You will find leggings in vibrant colors, patterns, and styles, like cropped, zip and paneled, velvet, glossy, split ankle, and many more.
