- Stirrup leggings (leggings that have a loop that goes under the foot).
- Flare leggings (leggings that flare out at the calf down to the hem).
- Capri leggings.
- Leggings with flat shoes, like loafers, flats, or sneakers.
- Leggings with crew-length socks pulled up over the bottom of the pants.

For Autumn/ Winter time:
- You can pair black or beige leggings with a nice neutral oversized sweater or a blouse. For the sweater, you can also wear a white button-down underneath. It will create nice layers and add a more elegant vibe to your look. To achieve more street style, you can wear a nice cap. For colder days - add a biker jacket. Finish this look with a crossbody bag and you’re ready to go.
- If you like feeling comfy at work but also want to keep a nice formal look - wear black leggings with an oversized blazer and white shirt. Add a nice waist belt & high boots. Sneakers are also a good match! If you want to skip the blazer, you can consider wearing a long tunic-style blouse or structured knit.
- A great way to achieve an effortless look with leggings is to choose the ones with faux leather and wear them with a white button-down or oversized sweater.
For Spring/Summer time:
- For warmer days, shorter leggings will be a better option - you can pair them with a nice short-sleeve button-down and sneakers or sandals on a bigger platform to create a nice balance between sporty and casual style.
