Leggings once only got the short end of the stick. They were rendered to being used only at the gym, when you're traveling, walking the dog, or when layering horizontally on the couch. However, it's 2018, and that's just not the case. Instead, leggings have become the go-to bottoms with endless style possibilities. Case in point: the below list.
