The Elevated Basics That Will Make Leggings Look Very Chic This Fall

Leggings are a wardrobe staple for many. Maybe they're even a go-to for you. You're going to be quite interested in the intel coming your way. While scrolling through the feeds of some of my favorite fashion people, I saved a few outfit ideas that I think are particularly chic that feature leggings teamed with other of-the-moment basics.
Sure, you may have a few pieces you tend to wear with your favorite leggings, but it might be worth it to consider pairing them with the elevated basics ahead to create those A+ looks now and into fall. Below you'll uncover the outfits I saved, along with shopping inspiration focused on the basics that look chic with leggings, and yes, a few standout pairs of leggings if you could use a new pair.
Oversize Knit
An oversize knit is inherently chic and works flawlessly with leggings. This look is cool with the tube socks and sneakers.
Relaxed Button-Down Shirt
This ensemble is easy yet fashion-forward, thanks to the relaxed button-down shirt, leggings, and trendy mesh ballet flats.
Knit Dress + Bomber Jacket
You can't go wrong with a layered look for fall. A dress over leggings and a bomber jacket on top is where it's at.
Blazer
That perfect blazer will bring instant polish to any look, including a look with leggings and boots.
