It’s Leggings-and-Flats Season—These Are the Combinations That Look the Chicest Right Now
I always wear leggings with flat shoes—these are the four simple outfits I'll be copying for the rest of the season and beyond.
Try as I might, every morning I go to my wardrobe with the intention of wearing a skirt or trousers, but I inevitably step away with a pair of leggings in hand.
Honestly, I can't seem to tear myself away from them—but really, why would I want to? With a comfortable fit and sleek silhouette, they are the only thing I wear to wear right now. Naturally, when I'm wearing my leggings at home, I pair them with fluffy socks and slippers; and when I do leave the house, I want to retain the same comfort levels I experience indoors, but with a more elegant payoff.
Freshly inspired by the surprisingly chic leggings-and-flat-shoe outfits I've seen in recent weeks, I've curated an edit of the most elevated leggings and flats combinations to wear this year. Scroll on to see them.
4 CHIC LEGGINGS-AND-FLAT-SHOE OUTFITS TO TRY
1. Leggings + Mary-Janes
Style Notes: An unexpected but highly elegant combination, leggings and Mary-Janes are a chic (and very French) two-piece outfit I'll keep coming back to. I'll pop on some socks if I need to keep my feet cosy, but if the sun is shining, I'll often go without.

2. Leggings + Knee-High Boots
Style Notes: A classic leggings and tall boots outfit is one of the chicest ways to wear leggings, in my opinion. To add to the elegance, style with a wool coat or blazer, otherwise pair with an oversized knit for a low-key look.
