My Favorite Way to Wear Black Leggings

I think most of us can agree leggings are pretty awesome. However, there’s much debate on whether they should be worn in public, to work, out for a night on the town, etc. I’ve personally always had the opinion that you should wear what makes you feel comfortable, but it also comes down to the situation.

When I buy leggings, I want them to be thick, somewhat structured (I want them to hold me in if that makes sense) and I like a seam or something to make them look a little nicer than, well… leggings.

Lo and behold this $49 pair of leggings seemed to check each box. This is actually the second pair I’ve purchased due to me wearing my first pair way too often. I love wearing black leggings with a cami and longer cardigan. Unless I’m at the gym, I prefer to keep my bum covered and these leggings act as a perfect layering piece. My open knit cardigan (on sale) is actually belted so you have some versatility in how you stye it.

What are some of your favorite brands for leggings? Have any of you tried Spanx leggings? They are on my list! xx Ashley

    I have the gray pair of Halogens, and I love them. I also have black and burgundy Zella leggings and Chico’s too. The Chico’s leggings have held up to heavy use.
