5 Foolproof Ways to Wear Leggings

Even though they are not pants in the classic sense, a pair of leggings is the go-to wardrobe staple which has been around for centuries.

While we confute the idea that comfy leggings shouldn’t be worn as pants, the grand question on what ways to wear leggings remains. Even though they have come a long way and took many forms, some of us still make amateur mistakes when pairing leggings.

You probably have already a stack of Gearbunch leggings in your closet that can’t wait to be paired with the rest of your wardrobe in new ways. That's where we come in to provide you with plenty of inspiration for wearing leggings outside the gym and cute outfits with leggings that will take you almost anywhere you want to go.

So if you have been hesitant to try leggings, or just want to update your style with new outfit ideas, make sure you read these legging-wearing and styling tips.

1 Add a Leather Jacket

Who said that classics should be boring?

We just can't seem to let go of cool black leather jackets. Pair the Maori Inspired leggings with sneakers, or booties in pastel color, for an effortless transition from day to night. A simple turtleneck in gray color and this white bag add a hit of futuristic, sports-inspired cool.

2 Throw on a Pullover

It seems like pullovers were made for leggings, and adding cool printed tights that are fun and eye-catching is a totally stylish way to wear any workout leggings. 

Pairing leggings with an oversized pullover or sweater and teddy bear coat is ideal for the cooler days, not to mention warm and comfy.
If a bulky sweater isn’t your thing, adding a boyfriend pullover hoodie will make your outfit go from gym to a coffee with friends, running errands, or anything in between.

 

3 Go Graphic

Snag a pair of Blue Ornament Pattern leggings you can bring out when you want your outfit to do the talking. The first thing on the list for a stellar Friday night is an up-for-anything attitude and an outfit that works no matter where you end up. Bundle up with a faux-fur coat to balance the body-con nature of leggings. Complete your stylish look with a denim shirt and a pair of heeled booties for on point outfit worth remembering. 

4 Bombers Forever

A day at the gym followed by fun times with some friends, but no time to change in between? We've all had those days when we have so much to do, however the outfit transfer from day to night should never feel wretched. Creating a balance between comfy and cool is easy-peasy when you have the Solid Mint Green Leggings paired with a simple sweater and a bold floral bomber. Sleek accessories - like embellished statement-making sneakers, silver watch, and some trendy sunnies dress up everything just enough without looking too precious.

5 Hats Off
