The best styles from Balmain to Versace leggings to wear right now
Some of the best designer leggings right now are from Tom Ford whose sparkly sequin leggings with matching tops would look stunning with a blazer and heels. They’re one of those super flattering pants that you can wear year round to get max wear out of.
If you’re not sure if sparkly leggings are really a thing, all the designer are jumping on this trend. Even Prada has a gold lamé pair in their current collection. I’m so tempted to splurge on either the Tom Ford or Dolce & Gabbana ones.
I’ve always been a leggings girl and now that they’ve made their way onto the runways and not just the streets I’m fully embracing this look even more before it gets too hot here in Vegas.
Split hem and stirrup leggings are still in fashion and look just as stylish with loafers and flats as they do with killer pumps. For patterns and logos, you can’t go wrong with Givenchy or Versace leggings. There’s a lot of styles from FWRD on this list as they offer free shipping and returns.

When considering which style’s right for you, consider how you’ll style them and if you care about the logo or brand name being visible. If you do, an all over print like the Balmain, Givenchy or Valentino leggings are a better choice than ones with the logo just on the waistband. Unless you’re planning on styling them with crop tops and a blazer.
