Pleather leggings – a versatile trend or one-time-wear fad? To be honest, at first I thought the only way you could pull them off was with a dressy top and pumps on the weekend. But, after some mixing and matching, I realized they add a touch of flair to any outfit! And, I mean, who doesn’t like the idea of wearing stretchy leggings over restricting jeans?
So to help you wear your pleather leggings, I’ve created five different outfits for five different “collage-girl” occasions.
Outfit #1: Off to Class
Paired with a comfy graphic tee, oversized sweater, some combat boots and a few bangles, these pleather leggings take your casual weekday attire from typical to original. Add a scarf for an extra touch of pizzazz (and warmth!).
Outfit #2: Test Day
Dress for success (and comfort) with your pleather leggings, a tunic sweater over a collared shirt, a few gold rings and some printed flats. Oh, and don’t forget your glasses! Real or fake, wearing glasses makes any girl feel a little more intelligent!
Outfit #3: Internship Interview
Land your internship with a dress tank, black blazer, black pumps, and a classy gold necklace. This outfit will scream professional and outgoing.
Outfit #4: Girl’s Night Out
Shine in your pleathers by throwing on a sequin peplum top, bright statement necklace, and black wedge booties. Grab that clutch and dance the night away with your ladies!
Outfit #5: Weekend Lunch/Study Date
Everyone wants to be cozy on the winter weekends, so toss on your flannel, some boots, earrings and a beanie. You’ll look effortlessly adorable as you hit State Street or the library with your friends or man.
Hope these ideas have convinced you to go out and buy your own pair of pleather leggings. I got mine on sale for $12 and can’t wait to put them to good use!
