5 Easy Legging-and-Sandal Outfits You'll Live in This Summer

Style Notes: It’s likely because they share connotations with the gym and working out, but leggings often have a sport feel to them. This is no bad thing—in fact, why not iterate on the aesthetic by pairing them with some slider sandals. Then, like Lydia, simply add an oversized blouse in a silky texture to give it a glossy finish.

Style Notes: Short-sleeve shirts are trending in a big way this season, and one of my favourite ways to wear them is with a tight-fitting bottom half, as it further enhances the boxy silhouette and will make bowling-style shirts feel sexier in the process. And what could be closer-fitting than leggings? A split-hem pair worn with heeled mules, not unlike Savina’s, will bestow your look with a bit of glamour.

Style Notes: Okay, okay, so these are cycling shorts, but my colleagues and I have concurred they fall into the legging category. To be honest, even if they didn’t, Belle’s low-key outfit of a buttoned-up cardigan, Loewe basket bag, black cycling shorts and white thong sandals is too good not to share (read: blatantly copy).

Style Notes: Who said your leggings had to be black? Chic colours like chocolate brown or khaki will also look the stylish part and will make any legging-and-sandal outfit feel fresh again. Keep things simple with a classic white shirt. Then inject some personality into your ensemble by way of jewellery or animal motifs.

Style Notes: Savina serves up so many excellent legging-and-sandals outfits I just had to showcase another exemplary option from her feed. Wearing black and white together never fails to look premium, but pairing your leggings with an oversize blazer? Savina could host a TED Talk on expensive-looking outfits based on this one alone.
