outfit details: Le Château Hat – similar here, Aldo scarf, American Eagle Sweater, Hue Leggings – found at The Bay, Steve Madden Boots, Charming Charlie Handbag – similar here, Aldo Gloves
After spotting these leggings at The Bay (and finding out
they were on sale for only $30!) I have basically been living in them. When I
am going out and unsure of what to wear, I often turn to my leather leggings
and an oversized knit. Leather finish leggings add in a unique texture to an
outfit, are easy to tuck into boots, and they are always comfortable. Today on
the UU I am sharing how to style leather leggings (and letting you know
why you need a pair if you don’t have some already!)

why you need a pair if you don’t have some already!)
THE WHY:
They Look Great & Are Easy to Wear
Here’s the convincing factor on why you need a pair of leather leggings: they always look great – and they are so easy to wear. Truly, you just need an oversized sweater, a good pair of boots, and you’re pretty much ready to go. Or if you want to dress up your leather leggings you can easily swap out the sweater for a long tunic blouse, and the boots for a pair
of heels.
of heels.
The versatility of leather leggings is just another reason why they are so useful and practical to have in your wardrobe. It’s easy to take a pair of leather leggings from day to night. Having pieces that offer this sort of versatility is always great pieces to invest in because you know you’ll get your wear out of them.
THE HOW:
Pay Attention to Fit
Leather leggings have a tendency to bag out. You want to be sure you find a pair of leggings that are a bit on the fitted side so that as you wear them and they bag out they’ll bag out to your ideal size. I also personally prefer leggings with a high-waist fit as I find that rise more flattering and comfortable.
Leggings are still Leggings
Remember, just because they are leather doesn’t mean they are pants. Like when you’re wearing normal leggings, you want to be sure to wear a sweater long enough to cover your bum. Oversized sweaters, shirts layered with a long cardigan, or a long blouse are all great styling options.

I do that too! I find something I love and just live in it until I have to wash it or get the "that again?" look from my husband. Love this look, especially the hat!
Yes! I LOVEEE this look! I want a pair of pretty gloves for winter outfit photos!
