Without fail, the first garment I reach for in my wardrobe on a weekend is leggings. In fact, they are my ‘go-to’ item for comfort or physical activity. That’s not where it has to stop, though. Leggings go with a lot of different types of shoes, which can create either a dressed-up or casual look.
You can choose from a range of shoes to wear with leggings for different looks.
1. White or Black Fashion Sneakers
These sneakers, with relatively thick soles, can be worn with either three-quarter or long leggings. The look with three-quarter leggings is sporty and easy-going, especially if you wear a vest or sports top. With longer leggings, you can create a relaxed, everyday look, by pairing them with a vest and loose blouse over it.
2. Women’s Loafers (Black, Navy, Tan, Burgundy)
Loafers always speak comfort when they are worn, especially with leggings. You can keep the look casual, or you can dress up a bit with loafers and leggings, by wearing a short-sleeved button-down shirt and soft jacket with them.
3. Women’s Slip-On Loafer with Heel
Closed shoes are always popular in winter, but can as easily be used in summer. The slip-on loafer with a heel can create the base of an in-between look for fall. Wear a tailored jacket to keep the look slightly formal.
4. Big Buckle Sandal
What speaks about comfort better than a sandal. And big buckle sandals are just about as comfortable as you can be. Don’t wear them with three-quarter leggings, though. Pick long leggings in the same color as the shoes, so that there is a sense of flow in your look.
