Wearing Leggings as Pants,to do or not to?
Considering the difference between leggings and pants and going by what the fashion trend is, do you think it’s a good idea to wear leggings as a substitute for pants?
Basically, the purpose of wearing leggings is different from that of wearing pants. Leggings can be considered as firm-fitting pants or trousers that are often made of cotton. They are a part of women’s clothing, in fact very popular among 
women.
As we already know, leggings are generally worn for workouts as gym clothes or worn under a skirt or short pants. At times, leggings are worn in place of pants.
But traditionally, they are at least partially covered by wearing a long t-shirt or an over-sized sweater over them. Lately, leggings have become more of fashion clothing; some of you might know them as tights.
Today, they are available in a wide variety of designs and lengths. They are no longer an only-exercise wear. And this is what has dulled the line of difference between leggings and pants.
How does wearing leggings as pants look? Leggings tightly fit onto your legs, exposing your body shape. Wearing leggings as pants might look like you are deliberately trying to expose your curves.
There’s a difference between flaunting and exposing, and wearing leggings as pants blurs this difference. So, leggings worn as pants, if not coupled with the right kind of outfit, will either make you look cheesy, or reflect a bad taste.
Also, wearing leggings to work will seem unprofessional.
Whether to and when to wear leggings as pants depends on the top you choose to couple them with; it depends on the outfits you choose to wear with leggings.
The top worn on the leggings should not end above your hips. If you are wearing leggings as pants, make sure you are wearing a long t-shirt, or an oversized hoodie or sweater.
Or team your leggings with a draped top or a jersey. You can also choose to wear leggings under shorts. Wearing jeggings that means jeans in the form of leggings is also a good option to keep warm in the cold weather.
What about wearing leggings in the summer? If it’s summer time, you could wear capri-length leggings and pair them with a long sleeveless top.
Leggings look good under a skirt, but then, here you are not wearing them as a substitute for pants. Decide the length of your leggings based on the occasion you are wearing them for; choose the right kind of top or shirt that goes with your leggings, preferably a long one that covers your hips.
The kind of shoes you would be wearing with leggings depends on the top you have paired them with. Understand how to wear leggings before you decide whether to wear them as pants and when.
It’s not that wearing leggings as pants is an undoubted ‘yes’ for thin people and completely forbidden for the fat ones.
Agreed, leggings don’t look great on people heavy around the waist. But they neither look good on extremely skinny legs. Those with a heavy upper body can wear leggings to attract attention to their relatively thinner legs, while those with very thin legs should avoid wearing anything that fits tightly on the legs; be it leggings or even tight-stretch jeans.
When worn with a tunic or shirt that covers the hips, leggings look funky and cool. But, if worn with a short top or t-shirt, you would be divulging a little more than needed; which may not look decent.
So, if you are wearing leggings as pants, team them with a long and slightly loose top that ends at the mid-thigh. They look good worn as pants, only if you pair them with a long top.
One last tip; what you wear, should not make you feel awkward or uncomfortable. You should be comfortable and feel confident in it. Look at yourself in the mirror and listen to what the mirror says to you; it tells you the truth.
How to Get More Likes on Instagram Pictures
So, you’ve just created an account on Instagram, and you’re excited about sharing some amazing photos? But at the same time, you are curious about how many likes you’ll get, and how many people will follow you, right? Oh, who doesn’t love the sight of that ‘like’ popping up on your phone screen every time you check your phone. So, we decided to reveal the secret into fetching more likes on your favorite pictures.
#1 Follow Your Friends
Obvious enough, but still an ignored one. Follow your friends on Instagram, and they will surely follow you back and like your pictures. Moreover, they will see all your recent posts. Like and comment on other people’s pictures. This will make them like back or comment on your photos too.
#2 Connect with Facebook
By linking your Instagram account with Facebook, you can gain followers and likes from Facebook too. Doing this will help you post pictures on Facebook automatically through Instagram. This has been possible since the time Facebook bought it for about $1 billion. One of its secret is that, it allows you to ‘follow all’ your friends in a matter of seconds.
#3 Post Relevant and Awesome Pics
Posting the same kind of photos with the same themes can get a bit boring after a while. Experiment with the themes. Change your angles and subjects. For example, if you love traveling, post some pictures of the place and authentic cuisines that you come across, or if you are a fashion designer, then give a sneak-peek into the fashion industry. Ensure that the lighting is good. The best kind of lighting is natural sunlight. This will ensure good quality to your photos. Also, avoid posting too many pictures at once.
#4 Tell Your Story with Captions
So you’ve clicked a killer picture, and are ready to post it? Wait, don’t post it yet! Captions are a very important part of your photo. It should tell the story and context behind your photo. As they say, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” Let your photos speak for you. You don’t want people to keep guessing and get bored of it eventually, do you? An amazing photo along with a great caption is always the best and recommended combination. This will keep your friends interested, and leave them wanting more.
#5 Hashtag It!
The most important of all – hashtags! Hashtags are an ultimate way to get more eyes and likes on your photos. Every time you add a pict
ure, make sure that you add hashtags, so that you get more likes. Using them will also help your photos reach out to the people other than your own followers. However, don’t go overboard with it. We’re sure you don’t want to sound too desperate for likes, do you? Those of you who don’t like putting hashtags can post a picture without them, provided your content is awesome and unique, and will capture other people’s attention.
Target your hashtags in line with your picture. The most popular hashtag these days is #nofilter. You’re 10% more likely to receive likes. Avoid using #drunk. Studies show that it can decrease your likes by 40%. Also, don’t forget to add #selfie and #me along with others if posting a selfie.
You can also use geotagging here, i.e., tagging a geographical location, with New York being the most geotagged city in the world. You can tag all the local places, restaurants, events, landmarks, etc. It is sure to attract more likes and followers.
#6 Filter ’em!
Using the right kind of filters for your photos will ge
t you more likes and followers, and for that, your pics will have to be visually appealing. This amazing app already includes 20 filters that you will see while uploading your photographs.
Choose the right filter and watch more likes pop up on your screen. Don’t be afraid to experiment here. However, if you are confused, don’t put any filter, because no filter is the best filter. Also, don’t over-edit them.
#7 Take More Selfies
Did you know that selfies rule the Instagram world? Studies show that the photos that show faces are 38% more likely to get likes as compared with the ones with no faces. Know your angles and find out whi
ch angle makes your features stand out the most. However, limit yourself and don’t go overboard with it. Posting 1 – 2 photos daily is okay.
#8 Time Your Posts
Yes, timing is everything here. Let’s say, you post a beautiful photo in the middle of the night. How many people will actually be awake to see it? It is unlikely that you will get as many likes as it deserves. According to studies, the two most popular times at which people check Instagram are mornings and evenings. A photo stays active for around 3 – 4 hours after it has been posted.
#9 Make Collages
Combining 2 – 4 pictures together will encourage more likes. A collage is attractive and fun. There’s lots of scope for creativity in it. You can also take the help of other apps for editing your images. Also, it can tell a story in just one picture, rather than posting 3 – 4 images for the same.

10 Irritating WhatsApp Replies We Hate to Read

We are inseparable from our phones, and WhatsApp is one of the most addictive applications that keeps us glued. While chatting, we often come in contact with some really annoying replies by people. Here, we have compiled some of them just to crack you up!!
We are inseparable from our phones, and WhatsApp is one of the most addictive applications that keeps us glued. While chatting, we often come in contact with some really annoying replies by people. Here, we have compiled some of them just to crack you up!!
This list is compiled to specifically offend some people!!!
The Epic “K”
I know I’m not the only person who hates such a stupid reply. It’s almost become something that is universally hated. We all can relate to the situation when you send a heartfelt message and all you get is a K! Now, were you so lazy to type just an O with it? This reply is also a sign of someone majorly pissed with you. But then it’s better to tell the reason of being pissed than replying with that one letter. Also, the letter is not enough for some people so they will add a period just to stress on the point that they are pissed.
Tru/True
I really don’t understand what is the logic behind replying “True”. Plus, it’s always to a message that has no relation to your reply. Obviously, I know whatever I said is true, you don’t have to reassure that. I can still understand when people say “True that” because maybe it’s something they could relate to. But just “true”? Why?
LOL
People have all kinds of variations in this too, from lulz, lololol, lolz, to what not. Firstly, you can’t even capitalize 3 letters and then you use this reply for everything or when you have nothing to say. What is lulz or lolz anyway? It’s like you dozed off while laughing out loud. Plus, I know that you’re not laughing but saying that to cut the conversation down.
Nice
Nice was a very nice word until now. But, now it’s become a sign of telling that the person is in a sh**y mood. Please just stop it! I excitedly text you how exhilarating my trip was, and you reply with a “Nice”. I am too embarrassed already so Would you mind if I just come there and throw you out of the window right now? This reply isn’t even qualified to enter in the “good sarcasm” category.
Ummm
Umm/Mmmm/Hmmm is one thing that you’re tired of reading. It will just buzz in your ears, all the time. What is this even supposed to mean? You’re thinking, out of words, bored, or what? This will just automatically shoo all the people you’re texting, because no one wants a stingy bumble bee around all the time.
Smiley Overdose
What is wrong with the world? Sometimes, I wonder if people really have all the time to search for one smiley from all those, just to express one thought. You could have just written it in words. On the other side, people show that they are just so busy to even use a single word so they reply with a smiley. If you’re excited about meeting someone and you send a message saying,”Yayy! Will see you soon!”, and someone replies with just a smiley with a heart. Just imagine how it feels and you’ll know what I’m talking about.
Replying with One Word
One word replies are irritating. That’s because you expect people to be more generous and use more words because your message deserved it.
Replying with Paragraphs
Long sentences or chunks of them are equally annoying. Paragraphs are unnecessary when you don’t need explanations for trivial things. Or what can be said in a few words or an emoticon, doesn’t need long lines of text. It gets boring sometimes.
Irregular Letters and Abbreviations
WhAt Is WrOnG wItH sOmE pEoPlE wHo WrItE lIkE tHiS? Oh god, I feel that it was a huge task to write like this, yet some people to do it very fast and almost all the time. As if that wasn’t enough, they even use some horrible abbreviations which give an impression that they’re talking in some weird foreign language. 4 wat (For what) and TTY L8R (talk to you later) are some of these alien words people use. Guys, please learn to use some good language!
No reply
All the above were some epic fails but then there are people who are the least bothered to even reply. They will come to you later with hundreds of excuses that they were busy or didn’t check your message. But the blue ticks have told you the truth.
Oh dear!!
The right way to wear (faux) animal print
When you read that, you probably pictured Estelle from “Friends,” Joey Tribbiani’s nutty acting agent with the raspy voice, shellacked hair, messy red lipstick, and leopard blouses.
That’s why animal print is one of the most divisive trends in the history of fashion. Some swear adamantly that you can wear it in a chic way, and some think it should never show up in your closet, much less at the office.
whats important is that nobody ever knows whether animal print is in or out. Are we wearing it enthusiastically right now or turning up our noses at it? Even I don’t have a great answer for that question.
The best way I’ve found to keep animal print in your wardrobe is to stock up on accessories. This is a lesson we all learned from retailers such as J.Crew a few years back, and it remains useful when you want to jazz up a basic outfit.
These should be faux, of course, and mimic the natural colours of the animal. No “bachelorette party neon pink cheetah print.” Here are some key items to look for:
Clutches: I have the hardest time choosing an evening purse. I don’t use one often enough that I want to spend a ton of money, and I want to only have one that goes with every outfit, which is virtually impossible.
Animal print is a great way to solve this problem. It’s super easy if you’re an avid wearer of solid colors. Leopard print, for example, goes with almost anything and has the benefit of being sort of black and brown at the same time. But if you’re like me and tend to accessorize with more black than brown, zebra print might also work.
If you love patterns, you’re in luck: Pattern mixing is definitely in, so your animal print clutch is the perfect complement to, say, a striped dress.
Shoes: Typically you’ll want to avoid an animal print, platform hee
l, but a flat is definitely something to consider. In Italy I saw a lot of looks along the lines of red lips, white button-down, skinny jeans and leopard print flats. It was super chic and effortless.
Scarves: You may be reading the many articles about how office temperatures are set for a man in his 40s, and are therefore a “sexist plot” to literally freeze women out of the workplace. No matter where you stand on the actual issue, it’s no joke that most offices feel like the arctic when it’s hot outside, and you need a little something with your black sleeveless dress. If you have an animal print scarf in your arsenal, you will not only stay warm, but also nobody will notice that you’ve worn the same dress every week if you spice it up with a scarf.
Belts: I love an animal print belt with a chambray shirt and light jeans. It’s also a great accent piece for the old work shirt/pencil skirt combo.
Tinashe poses for Playboy
Before you get a little over excited like i did, the sexy singer remains clothed in the spread for the November issue of the adult magazine, which recently discontinued the use of nude photos.

Here are the pictures, but guys stay off the lotion it really can’t serve two purposes times are hard sha!!
