It's Official: Everyone Is Wearing This Legging Outfit Right Now
If I see you in this, I know you're a cool girl.
Want to look like a certified cool girl this winter? Fashion insiders everywhere are reaching for one foolproof outfit formula built on three classic staples you probably already own: a cinch-waist jacket, comfortable leggings, and low-profile sneakers. The result? A sporty, elevated, and effortlessly chic ensemble that's incredibly easy to re-create.
The trendy getup says "I just threw this on," making it ideal for sporting to the gym, midday coffee runs, and casual weekend plans alike. Better yet, the cozy winter legging look has earned the approval of It girls from coast to coast, cementing it as the combo to copy this chilly season.
Ahead, gather top fashion-person inspiration and add the winter legging outfit trend that's too good to skip to your own rotation.
Camel Jacket + Leggings + Trendy Sneakers
Elsa Hosk takes outfit sandwiching seriously, coordinating her cropped cinched trench coat with her Miu Miu x New Balance sneakers. Chocolate-brown leggings only prove she's in the fashion know, and sleek, futuristic sunglasses add the perfect finishing touch.
Leather Jacket + Leggings + Red Socks + Black Adidas Sneakers
Accessories take this leather-jacket ensemble to the next level—cherry-red tube socks, a Gucci shoulder bag, and statement sunglasses. It's the epitome of casual cool.
Puffer + Brown Leggings + Suede Sneakers
Just because frigid temperatures are on the rise doesn't mean you have to sacrifice style for practicality. A cinched puffer jacket sets the tone, and espresso-toned leggings, neutral sneakers, and a suede top-handle bag elevate the look.
