How to Style Leggings: A First-Timer's Guide to Looking Fab & Feeling Comfy

New to leggings? They’re the perfect blend of comfort and style. From prints to solids, leggings are endlessly versatile and this guide will help you style them like a pro!

 

Let’s be real, leggings are the unsung heroes of our wardrobes. They’re stretchy, cozy, and versatile enough to take you from school drop-off to coffee dates, from lounging at home to running errands in style. But if you’ve ever wondered how-to actually style leggings without looking like you just rolled out of bed, don’t worry, you’re not alone.

As the owner of Fabulegs I’ve helped thousands of women find confidence and comfort in their leggings. Whether you’re dressing them up or keeping it casual, here’s your crash course in styling leggings like a pro:

1. Start With a Quality Pair
Not all leggings are created equal. Look for leggings that:

• Have a high waist for tummy control and a flattering silhouette
• Are squat-proof (no see-through surprises
• Offer a soft yet durable fabric that moves with you, not against you

✨ Pro tip: Our Fabulux™ are designed with comfort and pockets. You’re welcome.

2. Balance is Key                                                        
Since leggings hug your legs, pair them with looser or longer tops to balance your look:

• Oversized tees or tunics
• Slouchy sweaters
• Flowy tanks with a denim jacket

✨ Pro tip: You want to feel effortless, not overdone.

3. Dress Them Up (Yes, Really!)
Leggings aren’t just for the gym. You can style them for a night out, too:

• Black leggings or dark solid leggings
• Long cardigan, blazer or jacket
• Statement accessories and ankle boots or heels

✨ Pro tip: This combo screams chic and confident.

4. Keep It Casual-Cute
For everyday errands or lounging, pair your leggings with:

• Graphic tees
• Comfy hoodies
• Slip-on sneakers or fuzzy socks

✨ Pro tip: Add a messy bun and oversized sunglasses and you’ve got that “I woke up like this” energy.

5. Don’t Be Afraid of Patterns                                
Prints are a vibe! If you’re new to patterned leggings:

• Pair bold prints with solid, neutral tops
• Try matching a color from your leggings with your top for a coordinated feel
• Keep accessories minimal and let the leggings be the star

Final Thoughts
Styling leggings should feel fun, not frustrating. Think of them as a blank canvas you can dress up or down depending on your mood. The best part? When you feel good, you look even better.

Whether you’re a leggings newbie or a full-on legging lover, I hope this gives you a little inspiration to wear them your way, with comfort, confidence. a little bit of flair and a whole lot of FAB.

    I love pairing prints with solid tops, I feel like it hides a little more of the fluff. Print leggings for the win! 😁

    I love leggings and have pretty much stopped wearing pants with zippers, buttons and seams! They are definitely a must for people with sensory issues. Fabulegs are my all-time favorite leggings!
