The basic pair of black leggings always stands the test of time. When the temperature drops, basic leggings can be layered with certain pieces to create a chic, polished look.
Here are stylish ways to elevate black leggings for winter, giving you style and comfort.
Cosy chic with a chunky knit
Style black leggings with an oversized cable-knit jumper in soft colours like cream or oatmeal. Layer with a wool coat in a complementary tone and add a pair of loafers for a touch of elegance. A fringed scarf or a pair of statement earrings adds texture and personality, making this outfit ideal for relaxed settings.
Classy layering with a tailored trench
For a refined look, pair high-waisted black leggings with a long, tailored trench coat in a neutral shade like camel or grey. Add a cashmere jumper for warmth and a sleek pair of ankle boots to elongate the legs. A structured leather handbag and minimalist gold jewellery complete this effortlessly polished ensemble, perfect for city errands or a smart-casual lunch.
Athleisure with a bomber jacket
For a sporty yet stylish vibe, combine black leggings with a bomber jacket in a rich shade like burgundy or navy, or go for black. Pair with a basic tee and retro-inspired trainers for a modern twist. A crossbody bag in a bold colour or pattern adds a bit of playfulness.
Office-ready with a cinched blazer
Black leggings can transition to the workplace when styled thoughtfully. Opt for a pair in a thicker, trouser-like material and pair with a cinched-waist blazer in a sophisticated shade like charcoal, brown or black. Pointed-toe pumps or kitten heels lend polish. Finish with a roomy tote bag and delicate drop earrings for a look that’s boardroom-appropriate yet comfortable.
Texture with a shearling jacket
For a luxurious winter look, style black leggings with a shearling or faux-fur jacket in a neutral or earthy tone. A fitted cotton tee keeps the outfit balanced, while ankle boots, knee-high suede boots add warmth and sophistication, while trainers add a bit of edge. A suede shoulder bag and a pair of sleek sunglasses elevate this ensemble.
Play with pattern, add a striped shirt
Add a touch of fun to your winter wardrobe by pairing black leggings with a striped shirt or pullover. Layer with a cropped puffer jacket for warmth and finish with Mary Jane flats or loafers for a preppy vibe. A simple tote bag and minimal accessories keep the focus on the playful print, making this outfit ideal for casual days out.
Edgy with over-the-knee boots
For a polished winter look, style black leggings with over-the-knee boots in suede or leather. Pair with a basic white tee and bomber or blazer jacket for form. Go for a statement handbag to complement the glamorous ensemble, perfect for evening events or stylish city strolls.
