One of the first things to do when the seasons change is to reorganise your wardrobe. While some styles can easily transition from season to season, winter is an outlier. It’s the one season when layers are crucial. Knowing how to style leggings in winter makes it easy to curate a seasonal wardrobe. Winter leggings can be styled with almost anything as the ultimate closet staple for whatever the occasion.
Llama Leisure’s leggings tick all the boxes for your winter wardrobe. They’re versatile enough to wear anywhere from work to a holiday party and offer cosy comfort all day long.
With winter arriving, we’re sharing our style guide on how to wear winter leggings for women with pieces you’ll already have.
Why Leggings Are Perfect for Winter
Leggings give comfort without sacrificing style. They’re the perfect comfortable alternative to jeans and provide more warmth than tights. As the temperatures drop, leggings make it easy to layer up against the cold and ever-changing weather.
Unlike other trousers, leggings work with almost anything. Keep it casual with chunky knitwear for cosy days at home or style with heels and a fitted blazer for a dressy winter look. The comfort of leggings means they work for any occasion, whether you’re running errands or getting ready for a winter getaway.
At Llama Leisure, you can prepare for winter with seasonally appropriate leggings, including winter-themed designs and fleece lining. Our magic multi-fit stretch fabric guarantees the perfect fit with fabric that feels like a second skin.
Styling Tips for Leggings This Winter
Not sure how to style winter leggings? We’ve got you covered. This guide includes tips and advice on how to style leggings for winter, incorporating pieces you’ll already have in your wardrobe with winter accessories. Use the advice below to help you decide which winter leggings are right for your seasonal closet.
Chunky Knit Sweaters
Winter is a time when you want to layer up and feel cosy. With the temperatures dropping and the potential for rain to turn into snow, it’s a good idea to have outfits you can pull together for any weather. Winter leggings offer the perfect balance when wearing chunky knitwear like sweaters and cardigans.
Create a seasonal look by choosing a sweater in a winter colour palette, like deep reds and greens, to style with a pattern like our ‘Starry Night’ leggings. Choose knitwear that compliments your leggings or a neutral colour that provides a more understated look. Finish off your winter leggings with trainers or Chelsea boots for extra versatility.
Puffer Jackets
Once autumn turns to winter, we’re reaching into the back of our closet for a puffer jacket. This outerwear is one of the most popular styles, usually made with waterproof fabric as a functional alternative to a rain poncho. A puffer jacket is oversized compared to the tighter shape of winter leggings, easily complementing each other.
Choose a puffer jacket in a neutral hue or a bold jewel tone to mix and match with your favourite Llama Leisure leggings. Get ready for the holiday season by styling our ‘Highland Tartan’ leggings with a navy or emerald green puffer jacket for a pop of colour.
Boots
Footwear is crucial when styling winter leggings. The fitted cuff makes them easy to style with almost any type of footwear, unlike jeans or joggers. You can wear winter leggings with any boots. While trainers are a go-to, boots are a better alternative for winter weather, giving you extra warmth and grip.
Ankle boots are the most popular style for wearing with winter leggings as they typically meet the hemline of your leggings. The fitted silhouette of winter leggings makes it easy to wear knee-high boots or snow boots as they don’t cause extra bulk. Boots with a block heel or stiletto can elevate your winter leggings and make them more night-time appropriate or party-ready.
We love styling boots with winter leggings as they’re practical and add an edge to any outfit. Swap your trainers out for boots when you need to take your outfit to the next level.
Layering with Long Coats
The key to styling winter leggings is to experiment with layering. You can create the illusion of a longer figure by finishing your outfit with a longer top layer like a wool or trench coat. It adds an elegant touch to your winter leggings for a chic look that’s just as elevated as dark denim or fitted trousers.
Layering requires you to consider your colour palette to create a cohesive look. Stick to neutrals and let your winter leggings take centre stage or choose a seasonal colour that compliments them.
Winter Accessories to Pair with Leggings
Don’t overlook the potential of winter accessories to elevate your leggings as they can really help you transition between different types of weather.
Winter accessories are functional and stylish, from leather gloves to oversized knitted scarves and wool hats. Stick to neutral and earth-tone colours to coordinate your accessories with your winter leggings to avoid drawing attention away from your chosen funky print.
These winter accessories and classic pieces like statement jewellery, can balance or accentuate the colour and pattern of your winter leggings for women. They’re a quick way to transition your outfit from day to night, making your winter leggings even more versatile.
Add statement gold earrings and a matching clutch bag to take your winter leggings from an office look to a date night-ready outfit. Similarly, keeping essentials like knitted scarves and wool hats can give you extra emergency layers if the weather takes an unexpected turn for the worst.
