When it comes to piecing together a look, it's no secret that many people would love something that's both cute and comfy. Though you may think that you have to sacrifice one for the other when it comes to your ensembles, the two aren't, in fact, mutually exclusive. Take, for example, the below gray legging outfits that can easily transition from lounging at home to running errands and even grabbing brunch with your best gals pals—they're fashion-forward but also ultra-comfortable.
Per usual, we turned to our vast network of fashion girls to see how they have been styling their charcoal-hued leggings this season, and to no surprise, they've been sharing some of the coolest combos on Instagram. From an unexpected pairing (gray leggings with a corset-like top) to something a bit more casual, see how in-the-know girls are wearing their cozy pants, plus shop the pieces needed to re-create each gray legging outfit for yourself.
Opt for a pair with fun, gray-metallic detailing.
Pair dark gray leggings with a coordinating band tee.
For a cool and cozy look, pair gray leggings with a classic black tee. Add in accessories to amp it up.
Pair short gray leggings with a matching sports bra. Dress up the combo by throwing on an oversize blazer and strappy heels.
This comfy loungewear look can be worn at home and on the streets.
Find a dressier pair of leggings (i.e., a style with side stripe detailing)and team with a white denim jacket.
Seriously contrast styles by pairing loose gray leggings with a corset top. Add in heels and jewels, and et voila, you have the ultimate cool-girl getup.
