When it comes to colour, we recommend investing in black. It’s the most wearable and flattering shade, giving you the option to elevate or keep the look off-duty.
While ankle-grazing styles work with trainers and flats, a split-hemmed, flared silhouette will be easy to dress up when we head out of lockdown and back to work.
Perhaps our favourite thing about swapping jeans for leggings is how easy it is to wear whatever pair of boots we like, from riding to over-the-knee and combat styles.

How To Wear Leggings

At ICONS HQ, we all have our own definition of what it means to be comfortable at home. Dungarees, relaxed-fit jeans and tracksuits all have their place, but edging into the lead position are leggings. We used to wear them on travel days or for a long walk, and now we’ve discovered that they might just be the most wearable item in our wardrobe.

A word on layering: when it comes to lengths, we err on the side of shirts, knits and coats that fall below our bottom. It’s a personal preference, but we find that longer layers keep your body cosy and the look polished.
We love the style juxtaposition of super-comfortable pieces with sharp tailoring. For instance, black leggings with a smart black wool coat and leather bag… finished with bare ankles and trainers.
To up the cool factor, here’s an easy style hack: avoid logos and prints. Instead, wear minimalist black leggings with a pared-back palette, opting for white shirting or neutral roll-necks and then layering up in classic shades.
