Leggings are a perennial wardrobe staple for many of us. They’re usually inexpensive and are always comfy, easy to pull on no matter your body type and perfect for layering in transitional weather. There was definitely a time when we felt nervous about wearing leggings outside of the gym, but Cosmo tells us we’re good to go: “The line between what is a pant and what is a legging has been so blurred (hello, jeggings!), that it feels wrong to write off all leggings as being gym-or innerwear-exclusive.”
