I Thought I Was Over Leggings, But These 6 Outfits Are Making Them Feel Chic Again for 2025

My favourite category of clothing is pieces that achieve both style and comfort: think slouchy wool jumpers, trainers and perfect-fitting jeans. If I had to choose, how I feel in a practical sense would always come first, and yet I’ve never really been a fan of leggings.

Sure, I reached for them in my teens, pairing them with Ugg boots and a Jack Wills gilet, but the truth is, as an adult, I’ve always struggled to wear them in a way that feels elevated and polished; usually, they join me solely on dog walks or errand runs at the weekend when my jeans are in the wash. But in 2025, I’m planning to redefine their place in my weekly rotation, upgrading them from a downtime essential to the foundation of some seriously chic looks. If I can experience the level of comfort leggings prove while looking on-point, you can bet I’m going to figure out how.
