For obvious reasons, leggings are a wardrobe staple that none of us plan to part with anytime soon. We love wearing comfy leggings for errands, workouts, long road trips… you name it. But if you're hopelessly devoted to them, you'd prefer to wear them for a wider variety of occasions, right? Well, good news. We searched the depths of the internet for leggings that look just like trousers. They truly make wearing leggings as pants okay, and that's saying a lot.
In our trouser-like legging research, we were pleased to find that brands have clearly responded to the demands of shoppers wanting leggings they can wear anywhere and everywhere. For example, there are checked leggings from Zara and H&M for work, leather leggings from J Brand and Helmut Lang for date night, and 19 more options for everything in between. Read on to shop 24 cool pairs of leggings that we promise look just like trousers.
