Leggings

With the ability to let you be comfortable without looking sloppy, leggings — not diamonds — may just be a girl's best friend. Although your classic black pair is both a wardrobe and workout staple, it may be time for an upgrade. Put your black pair on hold and bring some pattern to Pilates with a pair of leggings that are anything but boring.

Leggings are a necessity come Fall and Winter, so to get you prepared for the colder weather, we culled the best leggings for you to wear all season long. With so many ways to wear them — under cozy oversized sweaters, dresses, and leather skirts — we're thinking you need more than one pair to last you through the chillier months, and for great styling tips, watch our style-how to on leggings. From the quintessential pair of classic black leggings to luxe leather options, we have you, and your legs, covered. Just click the slideshow to see all of our top editor-approved picks at every price point.

We're firm believers that leggings are not pants. But because they require longer tops and layers, they're also the kind of legwear that has major styling potential. On that note, we've styled up five fresh ways to wear your leggings — from your cozy days at home to your weekend jaunt to the farmers market — we've made the most of this sometimes underestimated wardrobe staple with our favorite cotton, lace, and leather picks.
