14 Ways to Style Leggings Without Looking Sloppy
Leggings becoming a closet staple was truly one of the best things that happened to modern women IMO. While we are past the days of wearing them with a "going out top" and heels to the club like in the 2008 era (what a time to be alive though), we can still style them as a go-to casual piece without looking outdated.
They’re comfy, stretchy, and actually cute if you style them right. But, they can also go from cozy to sloppy real quick. So if you’ve ever asked yourself how to wear leggings without looking like you just rolled out of bed, this is for you.
These legging outfit ideas are the ones I actually wear. Think casual but put together. Comfy but not frumpy. And everything still feels like you.

If it’s freezing but you still want to look cute, throw on a puffer coat with gray leggings and a graphic sweatshirt. The silver crossbody and New Balances make it sporty but not sloppy.
Beige Cardigan and Baseball Hat
Neutral leggings with a creamy cardigan always look soft and intentional. Toss on a Yankees cap and clean sneakers for a running-errands vibe that still looks planned.
Pullover and Puffer Vest
This one's for the athleisure girls. Add a vest over your pullover sweater to create shape. The black leggings and platform sneakers keep it crisp.

If you’re into that 90s sporty look, try a half-zip sweatshirt with black leggings and a baseball cap. Add gold studs and a crossbody. It’s easy and actually feels styled.
Oversized Graphic Sweatshirt
You already know this combo hits every time. An oversized graphic, leggings, and fun sneakers with a pop of color. Layer on accessories like a tote and socks to give it intention.

Denim Shirt and Adidas
When you’re over sweatshirts, switch it up with an oversized denim button-down. Pair with your go-to black leggings and retro sneakers. It’s laid-back but looks like you tried.

Yes to color! Go for a monochrome pink moment with leggings and a matching sweatshirt. Sneakers and a baseball hat keep it cute. The pink Yeti Camino tote is the It Girl mom bag right now.

This one’s perfect for fall. Layer a quilted vest over a white crewneck and taupe leggings. Match your bag and hat to keep it all neutral and elevated.

Style your black leggings with a bright hoodie and high-top sneakers. I love this with a fun tote bag and chunky black sunglasses. Feels young and pulled together.
