Plus Size Capri Leggings

From LoveToKnow Plussize

Plus size capri leggings are great in trends and at the gym. Find out how to accessorize them and how to locate your own pair.

How to Wear Plus Size Capri Leggings

In general, there are two ways to wear capri leggings:

  • To the gym with a t-shirt or tank top
  • With a short skirt, though this is definitely a trendy look

At the Gym

Let's face it--shorts just aren't appropriate for all of the machines at the gym. But who wants to wear long pants all the time? It's hot! So instead of wearing shorts or long pants, go for something in between: capris!

Wear leggings with your favorite tanks or t-shirts. They even look adorable with layered tanks. One thing you'll want to be careful about when wearing capris, though, is the type of socks you choose. You want your socks to be as discreet as possible. Definitely don't go without, especially not if you'll be running or stepping, but try to get socks that stick as close to your ankles as possible while offering you the comfort you want.

Choose the sneakers that best fit the activity you'll be pursuing at the gym. High-tops probably aren't the best look, of course, but if that's what you need for support reasons, do wear them.

With Skirts

Ah, the 80's are back. With them come big earrings, big hair, short blue jean skirts, and leggings. How's a girl to update her look when it's clearly from the past? Skip the big hair, first of all. Big hair's great, but not when you're already sporting a retro look. If you're wearing the leggings for fashion, try not to wear all the trends at once.

Wear your plus size capri leggings with your mini skirts when you just don’t feel like showing that much skin. Pair them with flats for a casual look; ballet flats are perfect. For a classic look, wear a white or black top. To keep going with the 80's inspired look, opt for a bright color. Bright colors are just what spring and summer call for anyway.

Similarly, you can wear these with short dresses or tunics. Keep the accessories classic and medium to small to avoid looking like a flashback.

Find a Pair

Even though they aren't the most versatile items of clothing you may ever own, chances are good that you could use a pair (or a collection!). Find your plus size capri leggings online:

  • Champion has a pair of capri leggings perfect for hitting the gym and they cost $40.00. They're available in sizes up to 16. Sadly, they're only available in one color, black, but they offer quite a bit as far as comfort goes. They're meant to keep you cool, dry quickly as you work out, stay flexible, and keep you looking your best.
  • Lew Magram has a pair of capris available in sizes up to XL for $24.99. These are different from a lot out on the market because they have lace around the bottoms. Choose from black, brown, or white. Be careful with the white leggings, though; thin, tight white pants are usually not a good idea for anyone.
  • Silhouettes has a better selection when it comes to sizing. You can choose from XL, 1X, 2X, or 3X. Colors available include white, black, navy, and chambray. These are fairly inexpensive at $19.00. Silhouettes also has lace trim leggings for $14.00. Choose from black, brown, heather gray, and white. These, too, are available in sizes up to 3X.
  • Just My Size has a classic pair of black leggings available for $19.99. These also have lace around the edges, but it's not the wide band of obvious lace that some capri leggings have.

A Final Word

Since capri leggings aren't likely to stick around for decades, be sure you don't spend too much on any one pair. However, do make sure you have fun wearing them with your mini skirts, dresses, tunics, or even just to the gym.
