Warm leggings in the harsh Russian winter are not a luxury, but a necessity. They protect your feet from the cold no worse than boots or insulated pants. They are woolen or knitted stockings that are worn over short shoes (usually shoes or low shoes).
In the modern world, leggings are used for a variety of purposes. So, athletes and dancers wear them to warm up their muscles during training. These stockings are part of the uniform of professional football players, who attach special pads underneath them to protect their legs from being hit by the ball.
Tourists also use them. Thus, they protect shoes and feet from dirt and getting wet. Travel gaiters are stockings with a fixing elastic band on top and a special strap running under the sole of the shoe. These straps are made from anti-slip materials.
Leg warmers are universal clothing. They can be worn in a variety of situations. However, they are not suitable for everyone. For example, those with full legs should carefully choose leg warmers, as they visually add 2-3 cm of volume to already noticeable calves.In addition, such stockings seem to cut off the legs in appearance, which means they are best worn by girls of tall and medium height.
You should also select all other wardrobe details as carefully as possible. Stylists warn that leg warmers and the top of the outfit should look harmonious and, above all, match the color scheme. If it is not possible to choose stockings that exactly match the jacket or dress, then you should choose ones whose shade will be completely neutral.
Leg warmers can be combined with different clothes. So, they look great with skinny jeans and wide-top boots. However, do not forget that different colors in this case are unacceptable. If the jeans are blue and the boots are brown, then the leg warmers should be calm and not bright.
You can create a great ensemble by combining these stockings with shorts. This option is certainly not winter, but it is perfect for the off-season. In addition, shorts can be replaced with a short skirt or dress. But this option is ideal if it is complemented by dark and fairly thick tights. Otherwise, the image may turn out to be vulgar.

There are no varieties of this clothing as such. You can note fur leg warmers, which provide warmth especially well in severe frosts.
There are also stockings that are fastened with a button on the side. They are popularly called gaiters or boots.
