In terms of the specific outfit formulas that seem to be most popular now, well, style setters happen to be reaching for other cozy items to pair with the equally-comfy leggings.
Below we’re showcasing the comfy yet chic items that work perfectly with leggings. Given that we’re heading deeper into the colder months, a certain chunky knit style is certainly popular. You’ll also notice other go-to relaxed silhouettes. Keep scrolling for a range of styling and shopping inspiration.
