When you take in all the smart looks you can achieve with leggings, and the fact that they are so comfortable and flattering to wear, it's easy to see why they have become a key fashion trend.
Long leggings are one of winter's key fashion trends, however, they aren't a new look - in fact leggings and tights have been part of any fashion follower's wardrobe for the past 12 months or so.
Long leggings rose to prominence during the summer months, which was probably just as well since the promised barbeque weather never arrived and without tights and leggings, a lot of women may have been suffering from hyperthermia before we even got through July!
Now, the fashion success of leggings is set to continue into the cold winter months - good news, as they are a very practical type of clothing, being warm, comfy, flattering and easy to wear.
Moreover, with leggings and tights being such a popular look, you're able to get them everywhere.
Even taller women, who are often forgotten about when it comes to the latest trends, can easily find tall women's long leggings in the High Street stores.
And it's not just in town that you'll find loads of great deals and styles, as the Internet has a great range. It is certainly worth having a look for some truly unique designs and colours that will make your fellow fashion followers envious.
What fashionistas like most about leggings is their adaptability. Regardless of what end of the fashion spectrum your "look" is based on, it is almost a given that leggings will look great teamed with pretty much anything.
Let's look at different styles in more detail - first dressy casual: One of the popular styles lately - and plenty of pop stars have been spotted modelling this look - is to wear your leggings with just an oversized jumper, t-shirt or boyfriend jacket on top. It manages to be both sexy and classy, without having to reveal too much flesh.
And if you're dressing up and wearing a dress, then leggings can still be worn for a smart, sophisticated look.
Footwear is also important. When embracing the oversized t-shirt /jumper/jacket look, team your leggings up with ballet pumps for a great "rock and roll" style.
Then at night switch to high heels - you'll be amazed at how much attention a pair of leggings will draw to a killer pair of heels.
