Never utter ‘never again,’ particularly in the realm of fashion trends. Leggings are making a steady return, favoured by the style-savvy on Instagram. This resurgence aligns perfectly with the comeback of skinny and slim-fit denim, making a compelling case for leggings. They offer the sleek appearance of slim-fitting trousers while providing unmatched comfort. Stay with us, because in this article, we’ll explore stylish ways how to wear leggings. Trust me, you’re going to rekindle your love affair with them. With the right styling tricks up your sleeve, we assure you that you can look stunning in skinny leggings as the winter fades and spring begins to bloom, regardless of your age or body shape.
1- Leggings Under Dresses
One of the chicest ways to wear leggings is by layering a dress or a long overall. We saw it at the SS24 runway from Loro Piana and The Row. You can also pair them with a mini dress or a maxi shirt dress; leave the last buttons of your dress undone for extra fashion points.

2-Leggings, White Shirt and Boots
Add some preppiness to your leggings by combining them with a crisp white shirt and an elevated knee-long boot. Another option is pairing it with loafers and ballerinas.

3- Leggings and Cropped Jacket
Luxury content creator, Hannah Strafford-Taylor, is a fan of leggings with looks from sporty to classic elegant. We’ve picked this look with stirrup leggings (or fuseau leggings) paired with a cropped jacket and gold slingback flat shoes because it is a perfect example of how leggings can be super chic.
4- Leggings and Trench Coat
If a cropped jacket is not your cup of tea, a timeless trench coat is the easiest way to dress up leggings. But, of course, don’t forget to carry a chic bag and nice sunglasses to create a relaxed yet elegant look.
5- Leggings and oversized knitwear
The key to rocking this look is to balance the tightness of your leggings with an oversized jumper. Nevertheless, to create a put-together look that you can wear to the office, choose a pullover in natural wool, for example, cashmere, that feels more luxurious. Next, wear shoes in the same colour as your leggings to elongate the legs. Finally, like brand consultant and entrepreneur Linda Tol, add a lady-like silk scarf, and you’re ready to go.

6- Leggings and Oversized Blazer
Here again, balance is everything. We loved how Rosie Huntington-Whiteley paired her oversized white jacket with tight black leggings. Additionally, she wears cool silver earrings and stilettos and finishes the look with a clean girl aesthetic hairdo.
A great option for a more dressy look is these laced leggings.
7- Leggings with Belted Jacket
Content creator, Natasha Chadikovska from InMyStyle, proves that a chic belted jacket or coat looks fantastic with leggings and boots. This combination makes a great outfit to wear at the office.

8- Leggings and Bomber Jacket
We’ve chosen a great leggings look from French model Leia Sfez. For the chili days, she paired her leggings with a voluminous ’80s bomber leather jacket by Khaite, one of the darling’s jackets this 2024. Notice the jacket just covers her derriere. And finally, she completed the outfit with high boots.
10- Leggings Gym Vibes
For years, the arbiters of fashion have declared gym attire off-limits for streetwear. Karl Lagerfeld once famously quipped, “Sweatpants are a sign of defeat. You lost control of your life, so you bought some sweatpants.” While we hold immense respect for the Kaiser, this year introduces a refreshing twist to styling leggings, embracing the gym-inspired aesthetic. This trend champions the casual comfort of leggings, perfectly paired with sneakers and cosy sweatshirts. An oversized coat serves as the quintessential finishing touch, though a cropped puff jacket can equally elevate the ensemble, blending effortlessly with the sporty chic vibe.
