In the decades past, the ultimate fashion struggle has been between style and comfort.

Many women enjoy looking good, but looking good doesn’t always equate to feeling good. Sometimes looking good is scratchy sweaters, tight dresses, or uncomfortable heels. Slowly but surely, the worlds of fashion and comfort are colliding.

One of the best pieces of fashion for comfortable style is the classic legging. It’s caused quite the controversy at schools because many people starting wearing leggings as pants. You may have even done this a time or two.

If you want to rock leggings this winter but aren’t sure how we are here to help. Below are 8 ways to style leggings this winter.

1. Baggy T-Shirts

If you have oversized t-shirts and concert tees in your closet, put them to use over a pair of leggings. These usually work best with a solid color pair such as black or grey. You could even pinpoint certain colors you like in the shirt and select a monochrome pair to match it.

Whether you’re traveling this winter and need an outfit for the airport or meeting up with someone for a casual lunch, you can style this outfit a few different ways.

If you’re traveling, throw on a pair of Vans or Converse and a dad cap.

If you want to dress it up a tiny bit more, layer with a flannel or windbreaker jacket and high-top tennis shoes. It’s a look that’s perfect for many occasions. Better yet, it’s super comfortable.

2. Workout Chic

Do you have a spin class in the morning but need to run to the mall afterward? Don’t worry. Leggings are perfect for a situation like this.

Pull out your favorite pair of workout leggings. Dress like you normally would for class, but the fashion comes in during a quick top change after class.

After the spin class, throw on a white t-shirt crop top and a denim jacket. It’s casual yet classic. You can never go wrong with a denim jacket, especially if it looks vintage with rips and tears.

If you are feeling confident, rock the new trend of a jacket layered over just a cute sports bra. It’s up to you!

3. Spice It Up

Leggings don’t have to be boring. Trust us on this one. There are plenty of fun options.

Many clothing companies are now making leggings with accent zippers, snakeskin patterns, or faux leather.

Grab a pair like these, top it with a slick black shirt, and throw on some statement jewelry. With a cute pair of heels or boots, it’s perfect for a night on the town.

4. Oversized Sweater

One of the best things you could buy for winter is a classic, oversized Grandpa-inspired sweater. We are talking all of the funky designs complete with total comfort.

A lot of stores will sell large sweaters during the winter, but if you’re on a budget, head to your local thrift store. You can find tons of vintage sweaters for a low price.

Throw the sweater on over a pair of leggings, and you’re ready for the winter cold. Top the outfit off with your favorite pair of ankle boots and a beanie for extra style.

If it’s extra cold outside, it even looks cute with gloves and a scarf.

Buying sweaters not in your plans? Raid your grandpa’s closet yourself. You’re bound to find something good in there.

Grab your favorite men’s button-down shirt, preferably oversized and loose. Wear the shirt over a pair of black leggings with boots, and you look cute and comfortable.

You can dress it up with a nice watch and earrings or wide brim hat. If you want a more sexy vibe, undo a few buttons to reveal a lace bralette.
