Okay, we have a confession: We wear our leggings all the time. Like, even when we “shouldn’t.” But thankfully, it’s become more acceptable over the years. These days, comfy bottoms are the name of the game. But still — in certain situations, we have to get a little creative when it comes to styling so we can pass them as traditional pants.
In addition to the variety of tops you can team leggings with, the shoes you choose to wear are incredibly important. You need to search for proper footwear that will elevate your leggings looks to the next level. We found seven perfect pairs across all categories for you to shop. Keep scrolling to see what shoes to score now!
These Platform Strappy Sandals
Steve Madden Sashes Sandals Zappos
Wearing a pair of heeled sandals might not work too well with the relaxed nature of leggings, platform sandals like these Steve Maddens are actually an excellent complement! They’re casual enough to wear with leggings, but they’ll still make the ensemble feel infinitely dressier.
