1. Throw an Oversize Denim Jacket over a Sports Bra

These American flag leggings are available at Gearbunch in few different colors for unique July 1 outfits for all those fashionista gals who want to look fabulous and proudly-american next month.

We chose the yellow leggings to pair them with a top in the same color and a denim jacket to balance everything out. The brown backpack is essential for this lovely “too cool for school” outfit. If you aren’t comfortable in a bra top like this, try a longer crop top or even a regular T-shirt. Put on your favorite black or white sneakers, and you are all set.


2. Pair Your Realistic Jeans Leggings with a Blazer

If you work in a more casual office environment with a relaxed dress code, and you like the sporty look, you’ll love the jean leggings combined with a classic blazer. Add your favorite workout shirt, along with a pair of high top sneakers and you will soon have one of your favorite business casual outfits. 

These fun leggings are designed for working out — but also look exactly like jeans leaving you with that “I’m not trying too hard” vibe that can even be a preppy look for weekends if that’s your thing.


3. How to Dress Up Your Leggings

Pairing your purple leggings with a romantic white shirt is one of the simplest ways to pull them off. This look can go casual or slightly dressy, depending on the bag, shoes and accessories. The outfit works with heeled sandals or flats – especially pearl mules or chains sandals.

We are obsessed with anything pearled, and adding this lovely purse is the best thing you can do for this feminine yet casual assemble. I mean where can’t you wear this easy, chic look? 

 

4. Don't Be Afraid to Incorporate Color

When you need a comfy outfit in a flash, you can’t go wrong with a unique blouse, leggings and sneakers. Pink leggings are IN this season, and adding a pair of fun tights can always make the outfit feel more special.

These lucky cat leggings are an awesome addition for those who want to play with the ‘meow’ factor whether that be at the gym or in a favorite coffee bar with the friends. Some of our favorite ways to wear them include grey and neutral tones when you want to look polished and classic. 


5. Dress Casually in Navy Blue Leggings and Loafers

This is another great option if you are on the preppy side, but you want to look real casual. If you want to add something special to a look, go for a bold colored shirt, as that always makes an outfit unique.

This look with printed leggings on bottom paired with ultra trendy loafers can look very cool with a structured trench coat during the cooler days. Did we mention that we love pairing navy blue leggings with black? A backpack in black color is a must for this effortlessly casual combo.

 

6. Girls Just Want to Have Fun (Leggings)

If you have bottoms that stand out on their own like these elephant leggings, you can pair them with a printed shirt but keep the rest of the outfit pretty minimal.

We talk simple striped crop top in neutral colors, very special bag with an interesting furry handle detail, and black mules or shoes in similar color palette. You can even add blazer on top to achieve more stylish and sophisticated look.

 

7. Pair Your Leggings with a Button-down Shirt

Take your Bright White Mermaid Leggings beyond the gym with a short sleeve shirt, fringe leather bag and sleek shoes is white color. We love a classic stripped shirt and this one has a nice sleeve detail. Cute right?

If you’re going for a sophisticated casual look, you’ll love the look of mermaid leggings and blue button down shirt with a twist. Opt for a pair of cute sandals and you are all ready to pretty much own the room.


8. Sneakers to Add an Effortless, Comfy Vibe 

If you were wondering what shoes to wear with leggings, we say sneakers are always a win-win, whether that’s a pair of simple trainers you wear every day, or bold ones that will get all eyes on you.

We choose the latter for this Day of the Dead inspired look in dominant navy blue and orange color. The eye-catching silver sneakers create an eclectic vibe emphasizing the uniqueness of these sugar skull orange leggings.


9. Go for a Classic Look by Wearing Neutrals

Womens black leggings never go out of style, but spring/summer season is begging for playful and more colorful looks. Neutrals are a great idea when you want to look polished and classic.

Floral leggings pair well with other neutrals, and this combo provides a girly look but with a touch of trend with these soft leggings. The perfect outfit when you want to show off without being too loud all over.
