We see a cute layering style for the fall season. A ribbed knit white sweater is layered over a basic white tee paired with black patent leggings and white sneakers. Update this combo by adding oversized sunglasses and a black leather shoulder bag.
How To Style Black Leggings
I love the versatility of black leggings, you can easily create a more conservative look, as well as dress them down and try on a daring outfit. Why did I decide to talk about black leggings? Well, they can be worn with many different clothes, while you can’t say the same about printed or colorful leggings. Plus, black leggings are not all the same: there are opaque, transparent, mesh styles, latex, patent, matter, and PU leather leggings in black color.
Oversized Sweater And Black Leggings
A cream-brown ribbed knit sweater in oversized fit is half-tucked in black leggings completed with pointed-toe brown leather loafers:
Another great debate going on around leggings is if you are allowed to wear them as pants, or should you cover them as tights. I would say, layering is essential, they are more like tights than pants. But thanks to modern retailers that offer non-transparent fabrics you can easily use them as pants. For instance, you will see some sassy shiny black leggings in this collection, but those are meant for slide girls, as they may create bulges whereas the idea is to produce a smooth look.
Leopard Print Vest And Black Leggings
A cozy leopard print down vest looks incredible! It is styled with a base layer top in black color completed with matte black leggings and cream-brown suede slip-on ankle boots:
Speaking of tops, it’s a pretty easy question. Black leggings are easy to style, as they go with pretty much anything. You can go for an elongated muscle tee, basic T-shirt, tunic top or a sweater.
Blush Sweatshirt And Black Leggings
A classic sporty quilted down vest in black is worn over a blush sweatshirt completed with black leggings and black sneakers. By the way, check out my post on ways how to wear vests for women, there are gathered chic street style ideas on how to make it look awesome on you:
You can also go for the following tops:
- Rock band tees
- One Shoulder Tops
- Lace Blouses
- Camisoles
- Long Camisoles
- Casual Jumpers
- Pullovers
- Elongated Tees
- Off Shoulder Tops
- Graphic Tees
- Dress Shirts
- Sporty Jerseys
- Hoodies
- Casual Blouses
- Knitted Tops
- etc.
Gingham Shirt And Black Leggings
Another cool outfit for casual street walks. We see a black-white gingham shirt layered over V-neck grey tunic teamed with black leggings and white sneakers. Update this simple look with oversized sunglasses and black leather shoulder bag:
Speaking of knits, they work well during the winter and fall season time. Think of adding a long-sleeved sweater, slouchy cardigan or the one with the cascading design. I personally love to wear roll-neck and turtleneck sweaters paired with black leggings.
Grey Pullover And Black Leggings
A simple pullover in grey color ideally suits those black leggings completed with white sneakers. In love with rounded sunglasses:
Speaking of shoes, then everything depends on the overall style. You are free to try on flats in neutral colors, but you can experiment with bright colored versions. I recommend choosing different colors and styles, so you definitely know which footwear suits you the best. If you are thinking of heels, platforms, and wedges, then everything depends on the way how you pair them together. Think of stilettos, heeled ankle length boots, wedges or heeled pumps.
Black Leggings And Black Ankle Boots
A grey slouchy top with side slits looks hippie-inspired. Style it with black leggings and block heel ankle boots in black leather. Update this style with Clubmaster shades:
I mentioned boots and they do look cool with black leggings. I love pairing tall boots with black leggings, this makes me look edgy, sophisticated and somewhat passionate. But you can try booties, heeled slouchy boots or even UGGs.
Striped Top And Black Leggings With Tall Boots
Another smart-casual combo for day-offs. We see a cream-beige oversized scarf teamed with black-white striped long-sleeve top completed with black leggings tucked in suede brown tall boots:
If you have thin legs, then my personal suggestion is to add calf-length boots. For women with thick or wide legs, I recommend choosing ankle boots. It doesn’t mean that ankle boots always look great with black leggings. It can be pretty problematic pairing them together: there can be a problem of skin around the hem of the leggings, ankle-boots can make your legs look shorter and even thicker. That’s why I highly recommend checking if boots cover the hem of leggings.
Grey Suede Biker Jacket And Black Leggings
If you are into edgy style, then I highly recommend trying on the following outfit consisting of a grey suede biker jacket, cowl-neck ribbed knit sweater in grey and black leggings with classic kicks:
Another cool option is wearing black leggings with sandals or sneakers. Sandals work well during the summer, but please avoid gladiators. Spice up your casual summer look with bright sandals, and choose neutral tone sandals for classy and dressy events. Speaking of sneakers, go for chunky and ugly styles, this way you will underline your individuality. Think of black, white, purple or even pink styles to keep things original.
Black Leggings And Grey Wedge Slip-On Shoes
A white long sweatshirt looks awesome styled with black leggings and gey suede wedge slip-on shoes. Update this weekend style with a cargo khaki-green jacket tied around the waist:
I am a big fan of wearing black leggings under the dress. They look cool with midi dresses, as well as with flowy, airy long dresses with side slits.
My favorite dresses that go with black leggings are:
- Tunic dresses
- Shirtdresses
- Lace Dresses
- Wrap Dresses
- Knitted Dresses
- Mini Dresses
- Sweater Dresses
Black Leggings And Shearling Heeled Boots
Keep it casual and light. We see a relaxed white long-sleeve top with black leggings and shearling lace-up heeled boots. Update this combo with a plaid wool scarf:
If you thinking of wearing skirts with black leggings, then you are free to complete the look by adding a short top. My favorite skirt styles to wear with black leggings are: mini skirts, skater skirts, and flowy side slit midi skirts. But you can choose a skirt that falls above the knee or shorter.
I don’t recommend going all black with a skirt, better skip monotony and show some creativity with bright colors. A printed skirt will add the right dose of spice to the overall look. You can also add a floral top to make yourself stand out from the crowd. All in all, try to experiment with different clothes, like skirts, dresses, sweaters, and cardigans. Make sure to try stylish bags and jewelry.
White Shirtdress And Black Leggings
A lovely white shirtdress is updated with black leggings and ankle-cuff flat sandals in beige color. Complete this summer look by adding mirrored aviator sunglasses:
The last, but not least, create your own style by mixing and matching various outfit ideas from the following collection. This will make you look unique and elegant.
