When autumn tumbles into winter, I officially know that it's time for my favourite clothing item to take centre stage in my wardrobe. With an enduring chill in the air, no season warrants the need for comfortable and cosy leggings more than winter, and as such I'm on a mission to make my—and every other fashion editor's—favourite garment feel chic for the new season.
Naturally, when moving through the winter months, boots play an integral part in keeping you cosy and chic. As such I've been on the hunt for some good boots to style with my leggings this season. Naturally, I went straight to the celebrities for inspiration.
Relying on leggings just as much as the rest of us, the celebrity style set can appreciate the outfit-enhancing potential of these comfortable pants. If you're also in the market for some new-season styling inspiration, read on to discover the leggings and boots outfits to copy right now.
1. KATIE HOLMES'S ANKLE BOOTS AND LEGGINGS
Style Notes: Maybe it's the millennial in me, but I'll always have a soft spot for a leggings and ankle boots combination. About as comfortable as it gets on chilly winter days, this two-step look is perfect for off-duty outfits. Take your inspiration from Katie Holmes and style a tonal look, coordinating your shoes, coats and bag for ultimate elegance.

2. IRINA SHAYK'S KNEE HIGHT BOOTS AND LEGGINGS
Style Notes: Definitely one of the chicest ways to wear leggings this season, Irina Shayk's knee-high boots and leggings combination creates a seamless finish that makes the legs go on and on. Adding extra height to her look, Shayk styled an all-black outfit that delivered on comfort while remaining typically chic.
