3 Delightfully Stylish Ways To Make “Leggings As Pants” Work

January 16, 2018

We all know that feeling. Sitting at home in your leggings moments before going out and thinking:

“Oh, alright. I guess I’ll put on some jeans before I go…”

Recently I got a pair of leggings and sports bra from the brand Girlfriend Collective. I felt like I was walking around in a (form-fitting) cloud. It was sublime.

My next thought? How can I sneakily wear these leggings out and about without looking like I’d just been at the gym? After playing around in my closet, I came up with some quick ways to jazz up your leggings.

Before hopping into the fits, I want to quickly sing my praises for Girlfriend Collective. Girlfriend Collective is a wonderful company for three main reasons:

  1. They’re a sustainable brand–Their leggings are made from used water bottles.
  2. They’re made well–The quality of the clothing is great, and they pay fair wages.
  3. They use diverse range of models to promote their line.

Here’s a little more about their process!
