This Is the #1 Legging Outfit for Fall

Hot tip: If you're not following model Elsa Hosk on Instagram, we suggest getting on it ASAP. The successful Swedish Victoria's Secret model is a great source for style inspiration, as she dresses like the coolest girl in New York City, and is a pro at combining the latest trends without ever looking over-the-top. And lucky for us, she regularly posts her outfits on her Instagram account.
One of her latest looks features five trends in one, including leggings(!), which combined to create the perfect cozy and cool outfit for fall. Hosk topped her leggings (trend #1) off with a long duster coat (trend #2), a sweater with extra-long sleeves (trend #3), oval sunglasses (trend #4), and combat boots (trend #5). The long lightweight coat served as the perfect method for providing a little modesty for those among us who aren't 100% comfortable wearing leggings as pants. While hers are made of substantial leather, this outfit formula would work just as well with leggings of any fabric you choose.

On Elsa Hosk: Joseph coat; Acne Studios sweater; Chanel bag; Saint Laurent boots.
