Cameron Diaz Makes A Case for Leggings as Pants

Cameron Diaz is far from high-maintenance — even on the red carpet, she favors clean, simple dresses that are the opposite of fussy. Her off-duty style is equally chill, including the sweater and leather jacket combo she trotted out for an appearance to promote her new book, The Body Book. Instead of jeans, she wore both over a pair of black leggings. While it's tempting to go bottom dollar on the staple, we suggest spending just a little bit more. Extra dollars correlate to thicker fabric, which makes them more appropriate to be worn as pants (and should help to avoid any unplanned views).
