We all do it—running out of the house in leggings to buy a carton of milk at the deli or head to a Pilates class. It's not been since the peak of the athleisure era in the early 2010's—a decade ago now if you can believe it—that basic leggings were deemed a trendy item to wear and these days they pretty much reside in the margins of our wardrobes as useful fixtures but not necessarily the most exciting ones.
All that is to say, I wouldn't be surprised if you were finding yourself in a rut when deciding what to wear alongside your plain leggings. Naturally, we have a few ideas in mind. Yep, making your staple leggings feel up-to-date, and dare I say even cool, in 2023 comes down to styling them with a few key items. Simple choices like picking the right coat or pair of shoes can make a world of difference—just see for yourself. Ahead, we're breaking down nine items that solve the mystery of how to wear leggings in 2023.
What better way to bring plain leggings into the present day than with the cozy shoes that are flying off the shelves right now. Yes, I'm talking about Ugg boots, and with leggings they might just be the ultimate off-duty combo.What better way to add polish to the activewear staple than via a long wool coat. Trust me, even the most tossed-on of outfits is transformed underneath one of these cozy toppers.Sweatshirts and leggings is hardly news to anyone, but there's something about a crewneck sweatshirt that lends a vintage, even Princess Diana-inspired, feel.According to recent celebrity legging outfits, leather jackets are *the* item to style them with and it doesn't take a trained eye to see how easily they add a cool factor to any style of leggings.Since you're probably reaching for sneakers anyways, make them a performance-style pair like the New Balance 2002's or Asics Gel-Kayano. It's what a fashion girl would do.I have a theory that if you take any outfit—even a random one—and throw a baseball hat on top, it's suddenly "model off duty". Legging outfits are the case study in this simple styling trick and give them a subtly trendy update.Who knew socks, of all things, would become so trendy? Lo and behold, crew socks that intentionally slouch down around the ankle are 100% outfit making.Styling leggings tends to be trickier with outfits that aren't sportswear but one shoe that's easy to pair them with is bucket boots. Go for a pair with a roomier fit so leggings will tuck in easily.In warm weather or as a layering top, make racerneck tanks your new go-to top style with leggings.
