You’d have to have been living under a rock to not realize that since COVID-19, leggings have regained their status as a wardrobe staple, not just as activewear or loungewear, but as a chic and versatile option for a variety of events, from running errands to dinner attire.
The key to making it feel thoughtful rather than casual is, of course, the shoes you match it with. For me, everyday flats are ones that provide the right support, stay nice and chaf-free, and still look chic enough to elevate even the simplest leggings outfit. Stilettos or kitten heels can be saved for evening plans. For now, it’s all about getting a reliable pair of flats that go well with your favorite leggings.
With the right combination, you can completely change your look. Whether it’s pointed-toe flats that exude sophistication or football. Whether it’s edgy sneakers that stay ahead of the trend or flip-flops for those unexpectedly warm days, there are multiple combinations to complement your favorite leggings. Check out three flats to wear in rotation with leggings this spring.
