Lately, I've been admiring all the great leggings outfits [1] on Instagram. People seem to be genuinely excited to style outfits around them and sharing their looks proactively. I always find that some of my style icons who veer on the sportier side will, every so often, throw up a sports-bra mirror selfie [2] or a quick snap after a yoga workout, but rarely are we thrilled to construct adorable looks with that new colorblock legging set we just added to our drawer.
Sheltering in place [3] has seemed to change that, and I, for one, am glad for it. Even though there's definitely still a strong appeal behind the sweat-chic look — from white joggers [4] to the high-waisted variation [5] — leggings have always been a tried-and-true athleisure staple, and they're great for a quick walk around the block, too.
Some of our favorite leggings, from the likes of Tory Sport, Outdoor Voices, H&M, ASOS, and Universal Standard are also made with cute little details that elevate an outfit instantly. I frankly can't wait to tuck in my white tee to Zara's slit-hem pair and finish with a blazer, loafers, and headband for my next Zoom meeting (Blair Waldorf, but make it WFH fashion [6], am I right?). Scroll through for a few ideas, some of which have suggestions for outerwear, then shop some of my favorite leggings available now.
