Many of My Favourite Outfits Feature Leggings—These 6 Looks Are Chic
As I spent time scrolling through my Saved folder on Instagram, I noticed a pattern. Yes, many of the looks I noted featured leggings as the key piece. It makes perfect sense given that the fashion crowd has been turning to leggings as a go-to elevated basic over the seasons.
Below, I’m sharing the outfits that I think are particularly chic and showcase leggings styled in a forward way. You’ll notice a smattering of ensembles that run the gamut. This includes everything from more dressed-up looks with pieces like a tailored blazer and boots to casual ensembles with a moto jacket and sneakers.
Keep scrolling for outfit inspiration, complete with shopping recommendations as well.
This layered look is easy yet feels high-concept with the cardigan-and-tee combo underneath the longline jacket. The pair of leggings and booties pairing is also to note.
Talk about a chic ensemble with the of-the-moment oversize leather jacket, half-zip sweater, leggings, and chic knee-high boots.
It's hard to believe this is from the high-street.
A blazer brings polish to any look, and the sweater tied around the shoulders adds a forward twist.
A sleek black turtleneck will be a reliable staple year after year.
Need a cool, casual look? Style your leggings with a hoodie and a relaxed puffer with those trusty Uggs.
A moto jacket is no-fail and looks fantastic with everything—including these split-hem leggings.
The button details and sharp collar make this next level cool.
A popular quilted jacket teamed with leggings and heels? Chic.
