Style Tips on How to Wear Leggings – Outfits

For the modern woman, the comfort and versatility of leggings cannot be underestimated. As one of the few pieces in our closet that can transition from the office to the gym to the cocktail party, today’s leggings are available in a variety of styles and colors. This article will show you how to design leggings that look and feel like a million bucks.

Today’s Hottest Legging Trends
We have cotton and spandex bottoms to thank for their popularity in the 1980s with the rise of sportswear. Today’s stretchy pants are much more sophisticated, but still feel super casual. These hot new leggings will keep you looking fresh.

Leather bottoms – Remember Olivia Newton-John in Grease? In that defining musical, she wore high-waisted leather leggings to show John Travolta that she could be more “street”. Now, leather leggings have become streetwear royalty, as a more comfortable version of leather pants. Look for leather leggings with biker details.
Athleisure – Lovers of casual sportswear, lycra and spandex have gotten a serious upgrade with new styles that show off your curves with accents and cuts that sport contrasting colors.
Printed – Printed leggings in premium fabrics are taking over the market with fun tie-dye, floral, animal print and geometric patterns.
Embellishments – Look out for embellished leggings that include cool details like pockets, buttons, knee patches, studs and zippers.
Pajamas – Loungewear has come a long way and can now be worn in a variety of casual settings. Cream colored soft floral print thermal leggings look cute with a sweater, undershirt and boots.
The best outfit for classic black leggings
Black leggings are super flattering and can easily transition from day to night. Chances are, you own more than a few pairs. Leather leggings are the new basic black pants that offer high fashion to any look.

Neutral tones – Black leggings look cozy with a soft, oversized sweater in neutral tones like charcoal or oatmeal. Pair them with a pair of leather ankle boots to take this relaxed look to the streets.
Leather Jacket – Transform basic black leggings in a leather jacket and high top sneakers.
Drawstring Tunic – Bottoms are the perfect accompaniment to an oversized shirt or drawstring tunic. Wear a lux button-up tunic with leggings and metallic ballet flats for an understated office look.
Printed Tops – Black monochrome leggings are the perfect foil to a plaid or printed shirt.
How to wear bottoms in every season
These stylish combinations allow you to enjoy the ease and style of leggings for every season. These looks are up-to-date and will keep you focused all year long.

Summer – Pair a short tank top in pastel colors with three-quarter length floral leggings and lace-up sandals.
Spring – The crisp spring air complements athleisure. Look stylish no matter what type of running you’re doing. Combine a flowy tank top, cute bra and athletic tights in an array of bright colors. Throw on your coolest sneakers.
For fall – when you start layering, wear black, gray, navy or rich red or burgundy bottoms. Add chunky knee-high knit socks and boots.
Winter – In winter, pair leather leggings and a trench coat with thigh-high boots for a sleek and sophisticated look to ward off the cold. Bottoms can also be worn with sweater dresses in winter.
