I think they would pair well with longer, tunic style tees and tops. My rule for leggings is that the top should be long enough to cover your bottom.

I was thinking of trying these too! I was going to get the navy or red dot ones. I thought the red would be cute to wear during our fall trip to Disney - sort of Minnie Mouse-ish. So perhaps, yes, maybe a little kiddish, but I'd wear them everywhere. I think the dot ones have a fun retro vibe. As for the florals, I'm all over those too. Floral patterned anything is my jam.

That one flowered pair is tights and they look like tights vs leggings (some transparency). I wouldn't buy those. The dot ones are ok.

I had dot leggings my freshman and sophomore years of high school to wear with big tunic tops (1991-1993), but in general here in SoCal leggings are super popular and have a wide range of ages. I haven't bought a pair of leggings in 20 yrs. (as by college they were out of style and I was way more body concious!). The floral ones do look younger of the four, but if you think you can pull any of those off then I say go for it!

I ordered that last pair of floral leggings. They were pretty out of the box, and fairly thick. However, when they stretch out, the color is no longer uniform. They obviously stretch more on the thighs, and light color of the fabric showing through on my thighs was not pretty!

Not for summer, or anytime really, I'm just not a fan of leggings like that on grown women, unless you're super tall and skinny, I'm super short, and altoughg pretty fit I find I look like a kid in them and not in a good way....especially those patterns, maybe with boots in the fall/winter when there is only a bit showing.

I agree with this. I love leggings but I only think they look good in winter time paired with high boots and long sweaters.
