Does anybody else come home after a day at the office or university and throw off whatever you are wearing for the nearest pair of leggings? Leggings are the most comfortable piece of clothing to wear since the pajama bottoms, but that doesn’t mean that they’re reserved for in-home purposes only. Below, we’ve created 5 very stylish outfits that show you how to wear different types of leggings for both casual and dressy occasions. From leather, disco and sequin leggings to colored and pattered/printed leggings, we’ve got you covered from head to toe.
Leather leggings à la Sandy from Greece (Olivia Newton John) are sexy and glamorous bottoms, but wearing a boyfriend blazer overtop a blouse with flat shoes can make these risky hotpants a not-so-risky choice. See how Kim Kardashian styled Greece leggings here. Disco leggings are the shiny or ‘wet look’ leggings. When styling them for the day, be sure to dress them down with an oversized t-shirt and a leather jacket. Emphasize the rocker vibe with bold jewelry and masculine boots!

Sequin leggings are actually a warm alternative to tights and lightweight leggings. The sequin layers make them more desirable for a night out of bar hopping when you may have to wait around in the twenty degree weather for the club bouncer to lift the red rope (even if it is only for 1 minute!). Sequin leggings will look classy for evening with a peplum top – red lips are a must to complete your look. For day, dress down sequin leggings by following style notes from model, Jessica Hart. Pictured to the left, Jessica styles glitzy Isabel Marant “Folco” sequin-embellished leggings with a vintage “Led Zeppellin United States of America 1977” tee shirt, black sneakers, Balmain Mongolian long-haired jacket, and a Balenciaga Giant “Work” bag.
Colored leggings are a perfect alternative to black leggings and they’re a safe choice for those not daring enough to wear leather or printed leggings. No, we’re not saying you have to venture out into bright, fruity colors like yellow and orange! Rather, choose earthy colored leggings like rust, hunter green, brown and navy. Next throw on a long, oversized sweater with motorcycle studded boots and you’ll have a slimming, elegant look that’s ready to hit the town.
Lastly, printed leggings are the new printed denim and are going to be winter 2013’s hottest trend! To stray away from a clowny resemblance, combine your printed leggings with a solid color or a metallic top that does not compete with the pattern on your legs. Neutral flats and a bowler hat will complete the look.
