3. What to wear with leggings for warmth | Long length sweaters and leggings
I’m kind of a believer that most leggings aren’t really completely pants and need a longer length top if certain things show. Unless they are thicker leather leggings, have a detailed waistline, are thicker material or aren’t tight on the crotch for obvious reasons.
It’s an easy casual look that looks just as good with sneakers as it does with boots of any length. It’s also an easy way to style bright, neon or logoed leggings to let them be the statement piece.

Another leggings trend is split hems which make them a little different and looks great with heels. Some of my favorite styles right now are on Revolve, especially their patent styles.

Yes, leggings are still in style for 2023. They’re one of those wardrobe essentials that can always be styled to be in style. They’re quickly going from functional fashion to chic, fashion forward, on trend items and designer leggings with heels are popping up everywhere.
The material of leggings in fashion tends to change. For your 2023 leggings outfit leave the plain cotton lycra material for the gym or grocery store. For the street, go for leather, faux leather, suede, split hem or printed leggings for a more fashionable and less athleisure wear look for 2023.
What should you not wear with leggings?
6 things to avoid wearing with leggings:
- Bodysuits that aren’t thongs to avoid VPL.
- With underwear that creates VPL.
- A sparkly top. It’s too much of a juxtaposition as they’re more casual than glam.
- Gym bags unless you’re going to the gym.
- Instead of just wearing sports bras with leggings try crop tops and layer with a denim jacket or long line cardigan or blazer to make the look more streetwear and less gym wear.
- Shiny thigh high boots with shiny or PU leggings and short tops unless that’s the look you’re going for. It just doesn’t work for most of us for everyday.
