Torrid Elastic Waist Plaid Polyester Legging | Purple Black Check 32″ Inseam Knit Pant

One trend that I saw emerge on the fall fashion runways recently was print bottoms. This trend intrigued me because I thought there would be no possible way to make print bottoms work for plus sized women. When I saw these purple and black buffalo check leggings on Torrid a light bulb went off in my head. Given the right print, a plus sized woman could wear this trend.

Don’t get me wrong, worn with the wrong top these purple and black check leggings could be an absolute fashion disaster. These leggings will only work with a black top that falls below your hip. The last you want is the have these leggings exposed from waist to ankle. That, will make a plus sized woman look even larger.

If you choose the proper size so that the checks are not stretched, this pattern actually could compliment the plus sized form. Plus, it is fun and retro. To cap the look off with these print leggings pair them with a cute high heel shoe or a ballet flat. Having your foot exposed will help balance the look.
