What to wear with leggings

18 replies

I have posted before asking for tunic recommendations which was really helpful.

Due to a painful condition I have had to switch from jeans to leggings. I can’t even wear tights at the moment, so am living in leggings. Whilst this is super comfortable for me I find I’m wearing the same things every day. Tunic top and leggings. Can anybody suggest something else that would go with leggings!! I try to change the look with different boots, but they have to be flats again due to my condition.

I’m a life time wearer of jeans and I miss them! But I need to move on and discover a new look for me, but I really need some help!

How about an oversized shirt? I saw some in French Connection today, all on sale. Or H&M have a good choice too.

I like the long-line long-sleeved tops at Bambooclothing bambooclothing.co.uk/shop/bamboo-serenity-top-5/

They're a bit pricey but they sometimes go on sale or in buy-one-get-one-half-price type offers, and they're good, weighty, soft bamboo. In cold weather I wear a jumper on top; because they're long-line the jumper can be shorter without me exposing my leggings-clad arse.

I love both these suggestions! Thank you. The French Connection shirt could be ideal for a party I’ve been invited to! Thank you both!!

Well I love the bamboo clothing top but I couldn’t bring myself to buy it because of the hideously sexist tripe in the description Shock

Here, in this Serenity Bamboo Top, it’s a flattering wide neckline (shows your lovely clavicle bones), dropped shoulder (petitely feminine in every size),

For a casual look, I like a t-shirt dress over leggings, I’ve got this GAP one is two colours!

Can you try some slightly flared leggings to switch it up a bit and give you another option? I have these, they’re very comfy and I think fashionable... www.zara.com/ww/en/flared-cropped-leggings-p04215627.html

I wear mine with an oversized jumper

Miseryisabutterfly · 12/12/2019 23:05

And flat sock boots!

I’m fed up of jeans at the minute and in this cold weather I’ve switched to leggings and oversized jumpers. Sooo comfy and warm! I wear them with big lace up boots. I’ve also got some jumper dresses for work when I need to be a bit smarter. Primark do some leggings that are furry lined which are amazing and loads thicker than normal leggings if you are prone to the cold like me.

I'm in the same boat. Been in leggings exclusively for weeks now. Can't even wear my stretchiest trousers.

I have this in 4 colours. Been wearing almost constantly. Hangs nicely so doesn't hug my massively swollen tum. Size down - I bought a medium and I'm usually a large in Uniqlo

Works with a short jacket or knee length cardigan. I've had loads of compliments. Works with ankle or knee length boots.

I have a Masai Nimes dress that is lovely and light and great with leggings. www.masai.co.uk/dresses/nimes-dress/194579795.html?dwvar_194579795_color=019601#start=12&cgid=DDRS

I like to layer stuff over mine. Hush do a good long line thick cotton vest and then I can wear any boxy jumper over the top. Or an oversized white shirt with a jumper or longish blazer over the top can look good too if you want something smart.

TigerJoy · 13/12/2019 12:36

Just had a look and there are loads of lovely Masai things on eBay!

Btw I am wearing jumper dresses with leggings - just above the knee. I have big fat thighs and short legs so just above the knee is essential for me

Flythedragons · 13/12/2019 13:45

Thank you everyone! I have just placed a large French Connection order Grin can’t wait to try it all on.

I am going to look for a jumper dress as well.

I live in leggings, I usually wear with long tunic type tops, skater type dresses, oversized jumpers or jumper dresses.

Toomuchtrouble4me · 27/12/2019 19:11

Most dresses can be worn over leggings - and leggings gs don’t have to be black - look for snazzy prints?

MrsCplus · 27/12/2019 20:05

Dungarees. So comfy and cute too
