Leggings are a lifesaver. Some of us can never do without them. They’re comfortable, they’re versatile, and they can honestly go from the couch to the coffee shop in a pinch. Still, when you hit your 30s and beyond wearing leggings can feel a little different. The question becomes: how do we take our leggings from “just threw this on” to “polished and put-together” without sacrificing comfort?
The good news? You can absolutely have both! This weekend, we’re diving into stylish ways to wear your leggings that are perfect for the busy, fabulous woman you are. Here are 12 ways to style your leggings that are comfortable enough to run errands or chase after the kids, but chic enough to make you feel confident and ready to take on the day.
How to look classy in leggings
Casual looks
with a button down shirt + black tank
This is one of the simplest looks to recreate. With a crop top or tank top in the same color of your leggings and a button down shirt, you can easily recreate this cute and well put together look.
with a crop top + Long Shacket
I really love this second look because of the preppy nature of Shackets. They are one of my most favorite outerwear for cold spring or summer days. This outfit is great for running errands, a walk through town, a movie date or for a casual meet up with friends.
with an oversized sweatshirt
I believe you can never go wrong with an oversized sweat shirt and leggings. It’s the perfect casual look to throw on for everyday errands. You can style the sweatshirt and leggings in its own or throw on a cropped jacket for warmth and a chicier look.
Dressier looks
You can absolutely dress your leggings up for a night out. You simply need to pair it with the right blouse. One tip for dressing up fancy with leggings is to ensure you have good quality, thick, cotton or leather leggings – this will immediately give you a polish look compared to the casual look you get with see through leggings.

On Colder days
Rocking leggings on colder days has so many styling options and my favorite is with a half zip or a blazer. For really cold winter you can consider wearing fleece lined leggings. They do not look any different from regular leggings which means you can stay warm without compromising your chic look.
