Animal Print Top

How to Wear Jeggings

The snug fit of jeggings makes a perfect canvas for more dramatic details – just like animal prints! For jeggings that come in a darker wash just like this pair our model wears, leopard prints become more noticeable and highlighted.

Opting for an animal print top to pair with your jeggings is a great way for you to fully enhance your upper body. If you have prominent upper body features that you’d love to accentuate, this pairing should work very well for you.

Throw on a pair of animal print heels to add the finish touch and complete the edgy look.

Blazer

How to Wear Jeggings

Looking for a casual wear ensemble that can take you both to work and a quick brunch with friends? Throwing on a blazer to wear with your jeggings should be a versatile choice because it can help elevate your basics without looking too formal.

Apart from the blazer’s style benefits, it also makes a nice piece to add for transitioning weather. Provides a bit of warmth when it gets chillier, right?

Camel Coat

How to Wear Jeggings

Neutral hues will always be a classic choice when it comes to coats, but if you’re fed up with going for black and white all the time, a camel coat should be great to pair with your jeggings as well! A camel coat is very adaptable too as it can go well with pretty much any color of jeggings of your choice.

Open Cardigan

How to Wear Jeggings

Pairing a cardigan with jeggings is just pure comfort and style. I’d say that this combination epitomizes casualwear because of how laid-back this ensemble is!

When you go for a cardigan in neutral colors, it’s very unlikely to commit a color combination mishap. But if you ask me, I suggest you go for contrasting colors such as a light-colored cardigan with dark-washed jeggings to really make the outfit pop.

Fitted Overcoat

How to Wear Jeggings

A fitted overcoat serves as an ideal companion to the slim silhouette of jeggings as it seamlessly merges style and comfort. The tailored silhouette of the overcoat, which features structured lines and neat seams, nicely complements the fit of the jeggings to create a continuous visual line.

Plus, the fitted overcoat not only provides warmth but also enhances the jeggings’ flattering silhouette for that chic and well-coordinated look! 

Lace Blouse

How to Wear Jeggings

Lace gives an alluring feminine touch to any outfit and that includes something as simple and casual as a pair of jeggings. This look right here shows how simplicity makes an outfit more beautiful – just look at how the soft details of the lace blouse balance the rugged nature of the jeggings!

One quick tip: if you have a less prominent upper body, it’s also nice to choose a lace blouse that features a flowy fit for that additional depth.

Leather Coat

How to Wear Jeggings

Leather coats are edgy and their long length definitely go very well with the casual vibe of jeggings. Both share a casual tone but at the same time, the difference between their textures is also what makes them a great combination.

The sleek and form-fitting nature of jeggings complements the rugged and often structured appearance of a leather coat, and this pairing nicely enhances the overall silhouette, resulting in a streamlined and flattering look. 

Moto Jacket

How to Wear Jeggings

Just as leather coats are beautifully flattering when worn with jeggings, leather jackets can also bring the same edge. A leather jacket is shorter in length, typically just right at the hips, which makes it even more elongating especially when you’re wearing high-waisted jeggings.

When choosing a leather jacket to pair with your jeggings, you may also try going for something that features more details such as a leather moto jacket. The details it has like a wide lapel, asymmetrical zippers, and steel rivets create more depth that balances the plainness of the jeggings.

Off-the-shoulder Top

How to Wear Jeggings

Don’t we all love the dainty aesthetic of an off-the-shoulder top? The exposed shoulders create a subtle yet alluring touch of sensuality and this balances out the rugged feel of the jeggings.

In addition to this, this top style has an open neckline that draws attention upward to beautifully accentuate the collarbone and shoulder line. The relaxed and flowy nature of the off-the-shoulder top balances out the snug fit of the jeggings which is why it’s a great style combo, especially for the hotter seasons.

Pop of Color

How to Wear Jeggings

The minimalist and laid-back nature of jeggings makes a perfect canvas for a number of different types of tops, even those with more dramatic and eye-catching details. So with that said, there’s absolutely no reason for you to hesitate to wear something with a pop of color along with your casual pair of jeggings!

In this look, you can see how gorgeous that vibrant red-knitted turtleneck top looks when paired with black jeggings and black boots. This beautiful pop of color creates a focal point to the outfit while the dark shade of the jeggings gives a more elongating effect to visually make you appear taller and leaner.

Neutral Pullover

How to Wear Jeggings

Both a pullover and a pair of jeggings are undoubtedly comfortable to wear so wearing them both makes a very cozy and versatile ensemble. The pullover’s relaxed silhouette drapes gracefully and effortlessly over the body and this is what makes it a great fit with jeggings. 

Both are very versatile and you can definitely wear this outfit on a number of different occasions.

Trench Coat

How to Wear Jeggings

Trench coats and jeggings make a wonderful pair especially if you’re in search of something warm and stylish to wear for the fall season. The polished and tailored aesthetic of the trench coat fits the casual vibe of the jeggings.

Also, a trench coat carries some volume to neutralize the snug fit of the jeggings, making it look balanced from head to toe.

Turtle Neck Sweater

How to Wear Jeggings

Here’s another very cozy outfit option that looks very stylish with your jeggings – a turtleneck top. The cozy fit and extended neckline of the turtleneck create a sleek and streamlined look, which flatters the figure-hugging nature of jeggings.

Moreover, the added coverage around the neck adds warmth and a touch of sophistication to the outfit to elevate the overall appearance. 

Utility Jacket

How to Wear Jeggings

Let me spill the tea on why a utility jacket and jeggings make the ultimate style power couple, especially for girls out there who love street-style casualwear. The loose and relaxed fit of the utility jacket, together with its statement multiple pockets, brings more depth to the look by neutralizing the form-fitting nature of the jeggings. 

The stretchy, comfy pair of jeggings feels like a second skin because of its streamlined look and snug fit. The structured utility jacket plays off the sleek jeggings by creating a balance in volume and visual weight.

White Button Down

How to Wear Jeggings

There’s no way one can ever go wrong with a classic white button shirt! And if you’re planning to keep things basic and chic with your daily ensemble, a white button-down shirt and a pair of jeggings should be your easy go-to style option.

Jeggings are quite form-fitting so they will really make the shape of your lower body show up. You can choose to tuck the shirt in, but if you’re someone who’s bottom-heavy, one way to downplay your bigger hips and thick thighs would be to just have the button-down shirt softly skim over your hips.

White Jumper

How to Wear Jeggings

Whatever the wash of your jeggings is, you can be sure that a white jumper would look great with it! This is yet another cozy option for you to consider especially during the time when the weather would transition to winter.

Jumpers are warm and they’re not very difficult to pull off, particularly if you’ll wear them with neutral shades such as white. In this look we have here, you can see how the model’s figure perfectly achieves a balanced silhouette because of the color-coordinated white jumper and white sneakers.

Oversized Cardigan

How to Wear Jeggings

An oversized chunky cardigan such as this one is a subtle way to add volume to your frame without looking too overwhelming. The visual weight it carries nicely balances out the fitted look of the jeggings and also helps downplay any potential disproportion in your frame because of how the length of the cardigan creates a continuous visual line.

Denim Jacket

How to Wear Jeggings

Denim-on-denim is one way to make a strong statement without overdoing it! The structured and slightly overfit nature of the denim jacket matches perfectly well with the form-fitting jeggings, creating a seamless silhouette.

This is a great ensemble if you’re someone who loves denim but doesn’t want to go overboard with too much structure. This is definitely easy to pull off and is quite versatile too in terms of having to wear the ensemble for different seasons!
