3 Ways to wear Leggings

February 9, 2024 /

Wearing leggings as part of an outfit does not mean that you have to look like a slob: you can look put together weather you are wearing them casually with a sweatshirt and sneakers or they can be part of a really cute outfit. Think about outfits where you would be wearing black jeans. I just make sure that my bum is covered to keep the look put together and modest.

Casual Look

This is probably the most dressed down you will see me in leggings: I combine them with a cozy but nice sweatshirt and try to choose a pair of cute sneakers.

With my utilitarian hiking shoes, I added fun socks to make the look more purposeful. This sweatshirt I bought on vacation was $40 which I thought was pricey, but it has been one that I reach over and over!

Put Together Look

These two outfits are probably my favorite way to wear a pair of leggings. Add different layers and color to make an interesting look and be very comfortable while wearing them.

On cold days, when I want to wear a pair of pants that slip on, I pretend my leggings are pant/jeans. I thrifted the tunic recently and found the jacket on Poshmark a few years ago and I once again reached for my pink combat boots. I love that I can wear these when it is rainy and the pink is such a fun contrast with pretty much anything.

When I was planning some outfits, I realized I hadn’t worn this cardigan this year yet. Since it was cold, I layered it over a mustard sweater and carried the color in more layers. The scarf is an infinity scarf I bought in 2017: in style or not, I still wear it several times every winter. I didn’t wash my hair till that afternoon, so the beret was a necessity in the morning. Again I wore longer socks that pass the boots: I like the look if they peek a little higher on purpose.

Leggings Under a Dress

I used a picture from last year but I repeated this look for church: wear your leggings under a dress the same way you would wear tights. They may add as much warmth as your fleece tights and if the leggings are colorful, they can add a fun contrast to your outfit.

I hope these outfits gave you some ideas to wear your leggings in a put together outfit!
