It’s Leggings-and-Flats Season—These Are the Combinations That Look the Chicest Right Now
I'm obsessed with wearing 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.
