Leggings have surged in popularity as a major fashion trend, emphasizing comfort above all else. These wardrobe essentials offer unmatched versatility, allowing you to style them in countless ways. Whether you're heading to the gym, the office, or a night out, leggings can be effortlessly adapted for any occasion. Looking for inspiration on how to style your leggings or which tops to pair with them? We've got you covered!

What Are Leggings?

Leggings are snug-fitting pants crafted from soft, stretchy materials. They usually feature a high waist and an elastic waistband, offering both comfort and flexibility. The exciting aspect of leggings is the wide range of styles available, from bold prints to classic neutrals.

How to Style Leggings

Adding leggings to your wardrobe is easy due to their adaptability. Keep these tips in mind when styling:

  • Black leggings are incredibly versatile, matching everything and giving outfits a polished look. Explore styles with unique details like faux leather or zippered ankles.
  • Balance your silhouette by pairing the tight fit of leggings with oversized tops.
  • To avoid visible underwear lines, choose thicker leggings or opt for seamless underwear.

PLAI Tip: Create a chic look by pairing your leggings with a V-neck tee and an oversized blazer. Tuck the tee in at the front and complete the outfit with pumps or block-heel booties for a perfect work or weekend dinner ensemble!

What to Wear with Leggings

Leggings pair well with a variety of pieces. Here are some fail-safe options:

Tops to Wear with Leggings

  • Tunics and oversized tops provide coverage and a relaxed style.
  • Athleisure items like hoodies bring a sporty edge. Add a denim or leather jacket for extra polish.
  • T-shirts are all about comfort. A graphic tee can add an edgy touch, especially when accessorized.

PLAI Tip: To spice up black leggings, add a pop of color with your sweater or top. If your top is black, incorporate color through a hat, scarf, or shoes.

Shoes to Wear with Leggings

  • Boots offer a cozy vibe.
  • Heels elevate the overall look.
  • Sneakers and chunky sandals keep it casual and comfortable.

PLAI Tip: Depending on your mood, leggings can be paired with numerous shoe styles. For an active look, throw on your favorite Converse or sneakers. In the fall, I love pairing leggings with boots—whether flat Chelsea boots, block-heel booties, or over-the-knee styles!

How to Find the Best Leggings

When searching for the perfect leggings, consider these guidelines:

  • Choose neutral colors that go with everything.
  • Opt for thicker leggings to prevent transparency issues.
  • Prioritize comfort by trying on different fits until you find the perfect one.
