Leggings could be considered a true wardrobe staple because of their versatile nature. As a result, fashion people wear leggings—especially those "basic" styles on repeat.

On that note, style setters are teaming their leggings with a range of spring trends, but a few key items seem to be favourites among the fashion crowd. Below you'll discover five items that look effortlessly chic with basic leggings. If you want to add something fresh to your wardrobe, you'll also find inspired shopping recommendations (including leggings) throughout.
Tailored Jacket
A tailored jacket—especially in a tweed or bouclé fabric—brings instant polish and elegance to any ensemble, including an outfit with leggings. It's worth noting the colourful strappy sandals as well.
Ballet Flats
Essentially, every shoe style can be worn with leggings, and the fashion crowd is currently wearing a range of silhouettes. That said, ballet flats seem to be one of the key shoe trends for a chic and effortless vibe.
Blazer + Striped Sweater
A striped sweater feels laid-back and modern, particularly when draped over the shoulders of a T-shirt and blazer combo. And hey, there are those ballet flats again.
Leather Jacket
A leather jacket is about as cool as it gets. An oversized cut is also the way to go. Add equally cool accessories like boots, a scarf, and a hat, and you're set.
