Wearing This Spring Trend Guarantees Your Leggings Look Chic—Just Ask Rosie HW
Whether you wear leggings constantly or have started reaching for the loungewear staple more than you normally do, you're probably on the hunt for some fresh outfit ideas to wear with them. And since the celebrity crowd is providing us with some rather chic outfits with the stretchy pants this spring, we've sourced yet another A+ look to inspire you, this time from the always-chic Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. Leave it to her to make leggings look utterly sophisticated and on-trend.
