Leopard Print and Liquid Leggings: Would You Wear This?

A model rocks her leopard print cardigan with liquid leggings.

A leopard-print cardigan paired with liquid leggings and a white tank looks surprisingly tame and unbelievably chic. Models make everything look so easy! Question is, would YOU wear this look? If you're 'bout it, 'bout it, check out the widget below for my totally affordable outfit breakdown.

If you have even one extra ounce of body fat on you, this will look incredibly cheap and tawdry. I doubt this looks really good from the back, unless her bum is rock solid. From the front, she pulls it off.

I love everything about this outfit EXCEPT for those liquid legging! Something about them just seems so cheap to me. AND is you are anything less than in shape this will look terrible. Iwould rather have seen this will skinny jeans. But those Dolce Vita booties are fabulous!

Agreed. I think liquid leggings look very street-walker-ish. Love the cardigan, tank and shoes, but was never a fan of liquid leggings.

Leggings are not pants. They're just not.

THANK YOU. Leggings under a tunic or mini-dress are one thing (and even then, liquid leggings just aren't okay), but leggings should NEVER replace pants. Ever. That being said, love the booties!

I'll take the great cardi...and leave the leggings-just not realistic

Very few people can pull off leggings much less these liquid leggings. I wouldn't wear them, they should only be worn by the VERY thin and tall in my opinion.

Liquid leggings only look good on toned models and ballet dancers (or anybody else with a long, lean, toned leg). If worn, I think they should be done so with toned-down items, like a roomy cashmere sweater or a draped top - nothing flashy. It will balance out the slickness of the leggings with a more natural texture. Also, I like them with ballerina flats or flat Mary Janes. If worn with spikes, you look like a stripper.

I get what everyone is saying - that you have the have the right body shape to pull these off, but that doesn't make them automatically stripperish - you just have to be careful with what you pair them with. This look is perfect - the brown rugged booties dress them down and the loose tank with the preppy cardigan reassures any on looker that they are not for sale. I do agree leggings pose a behind issue, so I'd get a bit longer tank to mostly cover my rear and there you have it! Maybe I will even go out and pick up these items just to see what it would look like... But I gotta find some looooong liquid leggings first.

i would ABSOLUTELY sport this - stinkin' love it - except any luck finding a longer cheap version of the liquid leggings? The ones you listed are only 28" inseam. For those 5'11" girls out there, I'd look like the running man. Would adore some leggings like this, but as such an uber trend, not willing to spend much...

I love liquid leggings and wear leggings as pants often (they are sooo comfortable!) but I agree with everyone else that they are hard to pull off.

I think this look would work with dark washed skinny jeans as well (which are usually universally flattering no matter the woman's size.)

#9 Mee on 2009-04-01 10:52 (Reply)

UGH! I WISH I had the body to pull it off.

I agree...most people shouldn't wear leggings...but you have to admit it's cute on her.

I also think people need to realize who leggings are for...tweens, okay. 20s, okay in certain situations (please god do NOT wear them to work!!) But 40 year old moms? I love that people are trying out different styles...but it's just inappropriate. I saw a lady at the bus stop today wearing leggings...she looked like she was in her mid 30s and she wasn't very thin..

Bah so I have very mixed feelings about leggins in general. haha I do have to agree w/ Mee..skinny jeans all the way!

I love the boots...leopard cardigan and the racer tank! i just dont like the leggings, and of course i dont want to be a broken record when saying that not everyone can pull off the liquid leggings..but hey..its a fact

#11 Neira on 2009-04-01 11:31 (Reply)

No, these leggings should not be worn by anyone and I wouldn't be caught dead in them. I don't care how thin the model is, these are awful. The rest, though - adorable.

#12 kat on 2009-04-01 12:04 (Reply)

Ya---i wouldn't wear it as she is there. But if you added a short skirt or tunic instead of just a shirt I would! It def. looks cute on her!

#13 The Culturistas (Homepage) on 2009-04-01 12:38 (Reply)

Leggings are not pants! Phew, now that I've gotten that off my chest, I do have to say I love liquid leggings and am a proud owner of them! This look is very rocker-chic and definitely for weekends only. I think for real people, opting instead for skinny black jeans, or pairing the leggings with some black shorts would be better.

#14 MizzJ (Homepage) on 2009-04-01 13:01 (Reply)

Oh dear God in heaven, I would look like a cow in those things! I agree that the look is great- minus the leggings!

#15 Amber on 2009-04-01 13:01 (Reply)

Am I the only girl in the world that wouldn't be caught dead in animal print? Maybe I'm just not the personality to wear it, but it always seems a little trashy to me. Shite. Am I getting old?

#16 Amanda Heironimus (Homepage) on 2009-04-01 13:28 (Reply)

i just can't imagine myself looking good in liquid leggings, because i'm short and not skinny lol. but i like the leopard print and liquid leggings look good on other people!

#17 piggy on 2009-04-01 16:09 (Reply)

i tried a pair that I saw in Forever21 and liked the way they looked on me. I'm fairly well-proportioned, so I thought my legs looked good in them. HOWEVER, after wearing them for about 5 minutes, I felt HOT (not in a sexy way). I promptly took them off and noticed a fine layer of sweat on my legs. Needless to say, i didn't buy them. :/

#18 monica on 2009-04-01 16:34 (Reply)

@Amanda, I'm with you!

No matter your age (and I'm probably older) - I am soooooo tired of animal print!! And it's trotted out EVERY. SPRING. as if it were some kind of fresh revelation. This has been going on for decades, at least since I started paging through Vogue as a young one in the late 70s. "Hated it!"

Sorry...to me it's a big ol' cliche' and I ain't buyin' it!

#19 Someone on 2009-04-01 18:38 (Reply)

The leggings look better on the model, no way in hell a bigger woman would wear that!

#20 Miss random (Homepage) on 2009-04-02 02:11 (Reply)

woo hoo !!! Boy you really have to have your shape on to wear these....Maybe with a long top and high boots...thigh high...lol

#21 sohoaccessories (Homepage) on 2009-04-02 11:18 (Reply)

I love the look...I would rock it at night with the stud shoe:
