The Chicest Legging Outfits Feature One of These 5 Comfortable Tops
If you’re looking to uncover a chic legging outfit to wear now or to save and reference at a later date, you’ve landed in the right spot. Yep, we pulled together a range of stylish legging ensembles right here for you. And while each look coming your way highlights cool leggings as the hero piece in the 'fit (obviously), the outfits share another similar feature in that they all have a comfortable top as well.
To showcase all of this further, we rounded up a few past legging outfits that get an A+ in terms of comfort and style because they display a key cozy top. (Think slouchy cardigans and the like.) Keep scrolling for more, including product recommendations for each if you are, in fact, shopping at the moment.
Longline White Shirt
White button-down shirts are a classic, but they're also trendy at the moment—especially in those extra-long cuts. So if you want a polished look that's still comfortable, try a loose blouse with your favorite leggings.
Cardigan Set
While a standard cardigan is a solid top choice to wear with leggings, the popular coordinating sets will also bring a chic-and-cozy twist to your 'fit.
Shop the coordinating Openwork Knit Top ($32).
Shop the coordinating Wide Rib Mock-Neck Pullover ($48).
Shop the coordinating Cashmere Tank ($78).
Soft Tee
Okay, this may seem like a no-brainer, but you can't go wrong having a soft white T-shirt as a comfy go-to with leggings. For a current vibe, consider doing the half-tuck look like with this ensemble here.
Oversize Knit
An oversize knit is undoubtedly one of the coziest top silhouettes out there. Team your favorite pick with classic black leggings, and you're set.
Hoodie
A hoodie (either a cropped or slouchy style) is not only comfortable but also quite cool when paired with leggings.
