For a casual look

Now that we talked about how to wear leggings let me tell with what shoes you should never pair them.
Leggings are great, don’t get me wrong. They are comfortable and easy to wear, but in the wrong outfit you will look like you just rolled off the bed and showed off on the street. You don’t want that look and you should care about your appearance, because you never know how you run into.
The shoes you should never pair with leggings
Sandals: 
if is warm enough to wear sandals is warm enough for a skirt, a pair of shorts or a dress and there is no need for leggings into the mix. It will look like your legs are coming from Alaska and your feet just came from the beach. You do want to be cohesive in your outfits.
Ballet Flats: 
Again, these shoes are for late spring, early summer. They go great with a lot of outfits, but not paired with leggings. Ballet flats should be worn in chic outfits and paired with clothing that falls under that category.
Peep-toe Shoes:
If you are not going clubbing you don’t need a pair of peep toe shoes with your leggings because your outfit will be confusing to many. You can get a nice pair of shoes on and you couldn’t find a ‘real’ pair of pants to go with them?
How not to wear leggings
1. As pants:
As I will show you, leggings require a shirt that will cover your bottom. They do not offer the same coverage as pants do and you don’t want your parts hanging out for everyone to see.
2. Sports leggings: They belong to a gym not on the street. Yes, when you are working out they look amazing with a pair of Nike’s, but on the street the same pair of leggings with ankle boots… not so much. Are your legs working out while the rest of the body was at Starbucks drinking coffee?
3. With miniskirt and shorts: If you want to wear something short on the bottom in the winter time is great, but do it right and get a pair of stockings, not a pair of leggings.
