While leggings are quite versatile, there are certain outfits that are not considered complementary to this style. One of the primary fashion rules for leggings is that they should never take the place of pants or skirts. They typically do not offer enough coverage to flatter most bodies when worn alone. This means that shorter tops won't work with leggings, as they won't offer the necessary coverage. Cropped leggings should also not be worn under shorts or cropped pants.
