There’s always been a passionate debate about whether it’s okay to wear leggings as pants. My feeling is that as long as you’re wearing a top that covers your butt, you can make it work. It also depends on where you’re going and what you’re doing. I wore this outfit to brunch at my bestie’s last weekend. She and her fiance live around the corner from us, and only a couple of blocks from the NYC Marathon route. So, a few of us got together to brunch at their apartment and then head out to cheer on the runners. It was such an inspiring experience, and this layered look was comfortable and warm for inside and outside activities. Pro tip: If you’re going to wear leggings as pants, spend a little more money for higher quality (and less chance that they’re see-through!)
