Patterned leggings and inverted triangle shaped body

[fayeso]

I am an inverted triangle much to my annoyance, and cannot wear leggings and skinny jeans without looking like Toad of Toad Hall. This is due to them making my legs look even skinnier and therefore my top half even bigger!!
Does anyone know or have an opinion on whether I would get away with patterned leggings(I am secretly hoping they would make my legs look bigger), if I wore them with a block dark colour on my top half.
I am a size 10/12 by the way so my top half is not that big, just not in proportion with my legs.
Thanks

I'm not convinced anybody gets away with wearing patterned leggings tbh.

I am this kind of shape but steer away from patterned legging. I wear other kind of patterns such as subtle checks on wide leg trousers. Today I am wearing plain leggings and a short tartan skirt. I wear quite a lot of a-line. flippy skirts to add balance.

I actually agree dexter73.......it's just I am so bored withmy clothes!!
No reasontomake myself look even more like a carrot shape mind you.
I can get away with leggings under a skirt so will have to stick with this....
Why is it when something looks rubbish on you it looks good on everyone else??? Or perhaps it is in my mind???!!!

and everyone else looks as awful as me!!!!
