When it comes to wardrobe essentials, nothing is more versatile than a pair of leggings (although a white t-shirt is a close second). Thanks to stretchy materials, not only are the bottoms ideal for exercising in, but they’re also practical for all-day-long and daily wear. And with a range of styles and colors available, you can pair the comfy basics with just about anything, including blouses and blazers for a more professional look.
Keeping in mind that most leggings (a.k.a. yoga pants and tights) are also thin enough to layer underneath jeans and sweatpants.
