NEO-DENIM

I have a feeling that this breed of leggings, like the bodysuit, may go out of style fast. But, for now, let us all appreciate them. They are not quite metallic. The fabric pattern is a faux-denim concoction that goes down smoothly with a pair on neo-cowboy boots. I enjoyed much the little red accents on the footwear.

CAPPING IT WELL

Going to the supermarket in style is a "must', according to an anonymous French fashionista: one never knows where one's picture may be taken. While stiletto boots, a black leather jacket with copper buttons and a shirt, long enough not to cover too much, do most of the work for this leggy outfit, it is the all-black baseball-slash-horseback riding cap that brings a touch of cuteness and uniqueness to the concept. Trucker hats with words that begin in "Ed" and end in "Hardy" would achieve quite the opposite result.

CURVACEOUS SWEATER DRESS

These days, some women believe they can throw a bottle of relish over leggings and look half-decent. Looking hot, however, requires a little finesse and taste. This off-white sweater dress, with buttons at the front and a belt wrapped around the waist, was light and clingy, defining curves with each step. Wide sleeves added sensuality and flow to the walk. Black cowboy boots with white motifs came to support both the dark leggings and the bright sweater.

SUPERHERO STEEL LEGGINGS

I had a revelation. Just like in comic books, steel leggings can make any gal look like a superhero. The metallic texture, with its shimmering shadow degradations and highlights, shapes legs and buttocks faster than a boot camp with Arnold. Unless you have trouble fitting through doors, there is no reason why a pair of these should not work for you.

DARK ZEBRA LEGGINGS

While black leggings make even a gecko look hot, it's fun to go off the beaten path and try some patterns and graphics (NOT Ed Hardy! He's not paying you to plaster his name all over your valuable human real estate!). This zebra number, with the cute socks sticking out higher than the boots, stays close to the darkness while introducing a wild element. I've seen actual black and white zebra leggings, but I generally prefer animal prints on alternative colors.

THAT NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY WHITE SHIRT

The great white shirt, the ultimate professional clothing piece, is also one of the sexiests. While the overall look here ends up been quite acceptable for work or campus, there are many elements that conspire to get co-workers or professors in plenty of trouble. Leggings' greatest contribution to fashion has been granting women the ability to wear ultra-short dresses or skirts without fear. As if that wasn't enough, she chose a red dress, fully open at the front, yielding the most powerful color mix in advertising: red, white and black. But the fine rectangular glasses and the neat ponytail still said: "Hey, I'm just going to the library." Very hot.

ASYMMETRIC SWEATER

Start with a black tube top and black leggings. Add rugged hi-heel boots with straps and buckles. Now, you look like a Batman superheroine. To take the outfit safely to the streets without engaging criminals, wrap it in a curve-hugging long asymmetric sweater, cut at an angle below to finish in a sharp point. Open the neckline as much as your mood desires to reveal your tube top. The best part: you look determined and gorgeous, but you can always slip out of the sweater in the blink of an eye in the event of a fight.

COLORFUL LEGGINGS

In a land of black leggings, praise is given to she who experiments with color and succeeds. This turquoise pair was probably heading to the gym, but the golden sandals intercepted it and gave it a streetwear twist. I would thread carefully, though. The wrong color can turn your adventure into a Cirque du Soleil performance.

BIKER HOT

This is a gorgeously simple choice for a fit body. Dance pants, white t-shirt and a killer leather biker jacket with metal studs and a cross pattern not to go to hell for looking so hot. Off-frame, black military boots with thick white socks to match the cut-off gloves for a nippy day. Doesn't get a lot sexier than this on a cold fall morning.

EQUESTRIAN INSPIRATION

Few sights are sexier than a stylish woman on a horse. Hence, horseback riding outfits have always been a source of inspiration for savvy fashionistas. The outfit above nails the idea by mixing leggings with tight stiletto knee-high boots and a fitted short waist jacket. A silky long top underneath creates a feminine mini-skirt line with touches of leaf green, which, must be said in passing, is a smart choice of color to brighten up any black.
