However, we need to admit leggings are very comfortable and helps us stay warm and that’s why we cannot get enough of them.
Styling a pair of leggings is not rocket science, but you might want to take into consideration a few principles when creating an outfit around a pair of leggings to really nail it. Here we go:
First of all, leggings are tight on the legs, which allows you to play with volumes on the upper part of the outfit. This means that you can easily style them with a longer pullover or sweater, depending on the look you want to create. If you’re looking to create a casual look, then you can go for a larger shirt, and a cool blazer over it, or a tank top that adds layers to the outfits. A casual plaid t-shirt with a pair of black leather leggings is so in at the moment, so give it a try!
Don’t be afraid to add some layers and create extra volume on the upper part of the outfit, when going for a pair of leggings, but do it in a way that compliments your stature and size as well. If you’re a bit curvy, then a top that goes below your hips may be your best option, as well as darker colors. Add a belt around your waistline and you’ll highlight your figure in a positive way.
If you’re a slim petite then you are free to add an oversized blouse to complete the look, as well as a trendy fur vest on top of that. Try a shawl wrap cardigan because they are so trendy at the moment and accessorize with a large handbag, a scarf and a wide brim hat for extra chicness.
As for shoes, leggings go with sneakers, flat boots as well as elegant high heeled boots or shoes, depending on the style of your look. Now you know how to style your leggings and look amazing!

I like your neutral colored outfit. I think we are fortunately in LA to not have to wear leggings for warmth, but I do wear opaque colored leggings for fashion effect. Great tips.
