Can You Wear Leggings To Work?
Yes, it may sound odd to sport your trusty gym leggings in the office. But when dressed up with workwear pieces, these cozy bottoms can be the secret to creating a polished-yet-comfortable look.
For anyone who thinks leggings are strictly for working out, take a look at Chanel and Prada's Spring/Summer 2019 runways: Both featured leggings and bike shorts. If there’s anything these designer examples have taught us, it's that the comfortable staple has a place alongside your polished pieces. So, let's discuss how you can wear your leggings to work.
Match it with a Faux Fur Coat

When in doubt, sport a faux fur coat to add a bit of sophistication to your black leggings. Keep the rest of the outfit black to play up the coat with chic accessories like this structured bag and trend-forward combat boots.

Your first instinct may be to pair leggings with a sweater – and, luckily, that is still acceptable for the office when paired with workwear pieces. Play with proportions and layer a polo underneath an oversized cardigan. Inspired by the look above, choose a light-hued legging to compliment white cowboy boots.
Layered With A Dress

For an unexpected look, layer an asymmetrical skirt over your leggings and add a printed blouse on top. Finish off the look with a pointed-toe heel and a structured straw bag for a feminine touch.
