Personal Style | Styling Leather Leggings

October 5, 2015 by Whitney 32 Comments

Today’s outfit is simple, functional and chic. Those are the main elements that make up my personal style. The leather leggings are a bit outside of my comfort zone, but I stayed true to my style aesthetic and paired them with a flowy tunic, a pair of nude pumps and minimal accessories.

Styling Leather Leggings

I wore this to church on Sunday and I’ve even figured out how to make the outfit work for my 9 to 5. Adding a pair of cute flats and a chic work tote will do the trick! If you’ve been reading for awhile you know I’m all about functional and transitional style. This is the perfect example of both.

Trendy pieces are great, as long as you can work them into your personal style aesthetic. #wnjstyle

To be quite honest, I was a bit unsure of the leggings at first. I’m not that into trendy pieces, however if I can work the trend into my wardrobe I’m good. I suggest trying trendy pieces here and there during each new season. Don’t be scared to have fun with clothes by stepping outside of your style comfort zone; your wardrobe will thank you!

    You styled these leather leggings fabulously! I love the long, fringed cardigan and your fun print top together. I haven’t tried a full on leather legging, but I do have a pair of black leggings with leather detail down the side. I might just have to jump on board and go all the way now. 🙂

    Great look. I love leather leggings, but I was so scared to wear them. I guess I should give them a try.

    Gorgeous! Love the outfit, those leggings look great on you! Love the shoes as well. I have a pair of leather pants that could borderline be considered leggings and I plan on wearing them often this season!
