21 Non-Boring Leggings I 100% Don't Need But 100% Still Want
Alongside black ankle boots, white T-shirts, jeans, tiny purses, necklaces, and more, leggings are part of a rather lengthy list of things I can confidently say I absolutely do not need any more of in my life. In fact, I likely have too many pairs for someone who barely works out once a week, but, much like the rest of the items that make up the aforementioned list, that doesn’t mean I’ll stop buying them anytime soon.
After all, nothing inspires a weekend workout like the promise of an actually cute athletic outfit, amirite?! And, as I like to tell myself, leggings serve many purposes. You can lounge in them, travel in them, brunch in them, and then, of course, there's the whole exercise thing. Which unnecessary-but-necessary leggings to I have my eyes on right now? Just keep scrolling to see and shop all the unique pairs.
As much as I'm into Hailey's all-black pair (available here), I like the inclusion of white here for the season ahead.
There are definitely more out-there styles in this collection, but for some reason, these are just my favorite.
The matching scallop-edge sports bra is pretty much mandatory here.
Also available in more sizes.
Definitely on trend for spring.

After all, the only thing she loves more than a party is dressing up for one. On her downtime, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
