Tops for leggings?

I am looking for some tops to go with leggings to fit my post-baby body. Can anyone share some pics or online reccs? I am new to the leggings trend and do not want to show my tush but tunics tend to make me look bigger than I am.

Re: Tops for leggings?

I think tomcat had it right- I'd try googling it and looking for some pics.

I think you are mostly going to find tunics, though. They don't all have to be unflattering- I find the softer the material, the better it hangs and the better it looks on (read: not pregnant lol!).

I also really like the look of loose fitted button down shirts with leggings. There's this one shirt by Calvin Klein that I have in... hmmm.. every color. It's just prefect with leggings or skinny black pants.

This isn't the best example, she looks a little sloppy IMO, but you get the idea.



You can also try belting the tunics so give you some shape. I really like it with a tank or tee and a long, drapey cardigan belted.




Lastly, you can try a peplum top, but I find most of them to be too short for leggings. Some of them are a bit longer than others, like this one (even though it's ugly lol!).

Do they still sell this CK shirt that you speak of in stores? I'd love to pick up a couple!
Do you have a name or even better, a link?

I just got a ton of tops at Macys from Free People. I'm no way thin or saying I look great in leggings but these tops are the perfect length for me.

The Free People tops were all about $21. on average on clearance with a coupon.

You can also look at Ralph Lauren Denim & Supply.

I'm normally not a leggings person, but I kind of like the look with the button down.

Cute look for running around town doing errands over the weekend.

I bet Marshall's would sell those too.

Need to check 'em out this weekend.

Re: Tops for leggings?

They do!! I got it in Bolton's in the city- and they still have it. Actually, I just saw they had it in stripes today!! But I'm sure you can find it elsewhere. The picture I found below is from Zappo's. It's $40 in Bolton's- a quick search online shows it from $35- $60 depending on where you buy it from.

Calvin Klein Zip Pocket Roll Tab Sleeve Button Down Shirt (that's a mouthful!)

I have it in bright pink, white, royal blue, and a bright green.

Happy shopping!

ETA: Yikes! The picture from Zappo's was huge. I changed it to a different picture.
