9 Anything-but-Boring Leggings and How to Wear Them

Libby MacCarthy
Nov 11, 2015

Leggings are one of those pieces that is constantly being debated: To toss or not to toss? That is the eternal question. But despite the endless deliberation, they prove themselves time and time again, providing an added layer of warmth or making the likes of tunics and mini dresses out-of-the-house appropriate. That being said, it’s all about choosing the right pair: Leather-look leggings, fashion-forward fabrics and those with more sophisticated silhouettes (think: cropped flares) are a more grown-up version of the bottoms you love, delivering both comfort and style — a winning combination. Once you’ve scored the perfect pair, these eight outfits will help you rock ’em in style.

1. Topshop Fringe Side Leggings ($20 on SALE): OK, cotton leggings aren’t always going to fly, but if you do decide to go down that route, make it count. Eye-catching embellishments will elevate the laid-back pair, making them a solid start to an on-point ensemble. Instead of the classic oversized top and trainer combo, throw on a pair of platform creepers and a next-level sweatshirt. A vibrant chunky knit scarf injects energy and life into the getup, with ultra sleek baubles and a structured crossbody providing a polished finish.

Zoe Karsson Killer Cool Jersey Sweatshirt ($66), Purified + George Cox Patent-Leather Creepers ($270), Tiro Tiro Radian Earrings ($112), Urban Outfitters Icelandic Rib Scarf ($44), Target Women’s Pushlock Crossbody Handbag ($30)

2. Opening Ceremony Printed Stretch Scuba Skinny Pants ($148): A printed pair you’ll never want to take off, these scuba leggings can seriously hold their own. Put them front and center with a bright sweater and menswear-inspired kicks, then add on a few personality-packed accessories, like a statement cuff and pom-accented box bag. Sartorial status: straight-up chic.

Topshop Zip Back Crew Jumper ($75), Charles & Keith Fringe Loafers ($50 on SALE), Skinnydip Cross Body Bag With Pom Pom ($55), Soko Metalwork Cuff ($118)

3. Topshop Metallic Bronze Snake Leggings ($48): If you’re looking to fly under the radar, keep scrolling. There’s nothing subtle about these shimmery gold leggings, but that’s what makes them so alluring. Take the unexpected route with a plaid denim shirt or similarly suitable button-down (the bohemian-meets-disco-diva thing totally works), then look to eclectic add-ons to pull it all together. A few suggestions: suede mules, a faux fur clutch and statement sunnies. You can’t go wrong.

4. No’Kai Helu Printed Stretch-Jersey Leggings ($235): Super flattering and anything but boring, these leggings were designed for wear both on and off the mat. For a killer off-the-clock look, style them with a knit turtleneck, badass steppers and a soft shearling backpack. Two-tone drop earrings finish the look with a note of sophistication and urban edge.

COS High Neck Jumper ($125), Adam Lippes for Target Shearling Backpack ($28 on SALE), Whistles Brushed Statement Earring ($38), Guilhermina Gabriela D’Orsay Flats ($178)

5. River Island Black Leather-Look Biker Leggings ($60): For a night out, not just any pair of leggings will do; it’s an all-or-nothing type of deal. Leather or leather-look styles were practically made for after-hours, offering a don’t-mess aesthetic and plenty of give — key, because there’s some serious dancing on the agenda. To take things up a notch, layer them under a sequin-studded mini dress, then throw in a fluffy red topper for good measure. A little peacocking never hurts, right?

French Connection Cosmic Beam Dress ($268), Topshop Faux Fur Fluffy Longline Coat ($180), Zara Shiny Heel Ankle Boot ($60), A Common Space Hologram Reversible Clutch ($98 on SALE), Orly Genger by Jaclyn Mayer Jasper Earrings ($78)

6. Zara Flared Cropped Leggings ($30): Made for the girl who likes to do things differently, these cropped flares deliver the comfort you want without the classic legging look. And that means they can go beyond the realm of off-duty. Hellooo, new favorite work-week essential. When you’ve exhausted denim on casual Friday, just whip out these side-zipped stunners. Pair them with a plaid button-down that offers both polished and laid-back vibes and elevated accessories like a feather waist belt and pumps.

Madewell Oversized Boy Shirt in Irwin Plaid ($60 on SALE), H&M Cotton Jacket ($50), BCBG Layered Feather Waist Belt ($128), J.Crew Collection Elsie Pumps ($358), French Connection Polly Snake Print Shoulder Bag ($178)

7. Rag & Bone Cotton Blend Leggings ($99 on SALE): Jeggings are a beautiful thing, offering the appeal of skinny jeans with the comfort of your favorite bumming-around bottoms. Take them along on all your weekend adventures, from art gallery explorations to sipping cappuccinos at your go-to cafe. Fuse urban-boho with woodland-chic by pairing them with a bright striped top, fringe-flecked vest and lace-up platform boots.

Vince Striped Linen Top ($87 on SALE), Glamorous Croc Clutch With Top Handle and Lock Detail $43, F-Troupe Lace-Up Boot ($255), River Island Cream Knitted Contrast Back Fringed Cardigan ($100), BDG Cuffed Rib-Knit Beanie ($19)

8. No Ka’Oi Huli Color-Block Stretch-Jersey Leggings ($205): Stylish enough to stand on their own, bold color blocked leggings make the transition from the gym to brunch to running errands seamless. Stick with statement kicks for a look that feels purposeful and fashion-forward (oh hey, athleisure), rather than frumpy. A long-line jacquard sweat and marbled chunky chain bracelet take the sporty aesthetic one step further, while a snakeskin sac adds a subtle exotic edge to the outfit.

Topshop Checked Jacquard Tunic ($80), Street Level Blue Snake Structured X Body Bag ($60), Anthropologie Nocturnes Bracelet ($88), Nike Air Max 1 Ultra Moire ($130)

9. Alice + Olivia Ribbed Knit Tapered Pants ($110 on SALE): Ditch the mini dress and bodycon; these ribbed knit leggings are about to change the way you approach night-out style. Super comfy and totally unexpected, they’ll keep you feeling dance-floor ready and earn you some major style points too. Rock ’em with a boxy, feathery top, vibrant steppers and a few look-at-me add-ons for an unexpected after-hours ensemble.

A Common Space Feather Hem Top ($68), Via Spiga Coralia Pointy Toe Pump ($225), Monki Croc Effect Zip Pyramid Clutch ($18), Bauble Bar Daisy Chain Drop Earrings ($36)

The Dreamy J.Crew & Christopher John Rogers Collection Is Already In My Cart

I didn't know I'd be saying J.Crewand Christopher John Rogers in the same sentence this year, but that's what surprises are all about! I'm always on the hunt for the latest exciting collection as an avid shopper, but this collaboration makes me feel all tingly inside. It's honestly enough to make me question my budgeting goals — it's so freakin' good!

We know J.Crew is the quintessential brand for all things cool and collected, but somehow Christopher John Rogers has managed to capture the brand's signature appeal while adding his own creative flair. Below, find the inside scoop on what led to this amazing collaboration, the inspiration behind it, and shop my favorite pieces before they sell out!

How did the J.Crew and Christopher John Rogers collaboration come about?

CJR x J.Crew

I can't help but get into the juicy details about this collaboration because it's the one thing no one saw on their bingo cards. Yet, it's such a seamless relationship at the same time! Olympia Gayot, J.Crew's creative director of womenswear and kids, says this about the partnership, "The collaboration with Christoper came together naturally, driven by our mutual love for the joy of fashion. I've long admired his work, and there was an undeniable synergy between our brands — J.Crew as a timeless purveyor of joyful, classic American style and Christopher as a trailblazer for the next generation of American designers."

Christopher John Rogers is known for creative bright, bold designs that bring out the color in whoever wears his pieces, making him unafraid to go against the grain in fashion. He most notably won the CFDA Emerging Designer Award in 2020 and the American Womenswear Designer of the Year Award in 2021. Since then, celebs such as Anne Hathaway, Gwyneth Paltrow, Rihanna, and Zendaya have been seen in his designs (via The Zoe Report).

Gayot says, "That mutual respect and shared values made the partnership feel effortless. We worked closely with Christopher at every step, not just blending our creative influences, but also collaborating on styling, photography direction, and artistic inspiration. It was essential to balance our core brand codes with his bold, contemporary vision, resulting in a collection that feels fresh, distinctly Christopher, and yet unmistakably J.Crew"

What makes this collection so unique?

CJR x J.Crew

We've seen a plethora of fall collections emerge this year, but none have captured the stylish, yet freeing energy that J.Crew and Christopher John Rogers have tapped into. Gayot says, "The collection is a joyful celebration of vibrant colors and dynamic textures. From striped cashmere sweaters to lamé barn jackets and sequin party dresses, every piece embodies a unique fusion of our two brands."

I say this a lot, but there's truly something for everyone in this collection. You'll still find tailored silhouettes, but you'll also see them in elevated patterns and fabrics. "We've reimagined classic J.Crew staples with a modern twist, encouraging individual expression and creativity while keeping them effortlessly wearable for any wardrobe. The trust we built through our shared creative vision allowed us to take bold design risks—like oversized stripes, new shapes, and unexpected textures—that turned out even better than we imagined," Gayot shares.

However, she says the most exciting thing is they "didn’t just create a holiday capsule; these pieces, though perfect for the season, are designed to be versatile enough to wear year-round.”

CJR x J.Crew

We can all agree that the past four years have been unprecedented in ways that have left us haggard at times. However, it seems this collection is touching on the hopeful and joyful nature that seems to be seeping back into society. Not only that, but there seems to be a genuine appreciation for those who are unafraid to mix tradition with modernity.

"Our goal with this collaboration was to create something that speaks to our modern consumer, who has a diverse appetite for style and design – someone who loves their tried-and-true classics, but also can experiment and play with color, unique silhouettes, and bold styling. We wanted it to appeal to both long-time J.Crew fans and those drawn to Christopher’s fearless and trailblazing Ready To Wear," Gayot says.

Based on what I've seen, it's apparent J.Crew and Christopher John Rogers not only understand each other, but their target audience as well. It's not always easy to connect the dots when designing something new, but they've truly hit the nail on the head. With that, Gayot says, "The aim was to push the boundaries of vibrant colors and patterns—hallmarks of Christopher’s work—while blending J.Crew’s classic aesthetic to make statement pieces that feel fun and accessible. By merging high fashion with everyday wearability, the collection elevates personal style and gives everyone a chance to own a special piece of designer magic.”

Everything You Need To Know About The Silk Press, Fall's Biggest Hairstyle

From Kamala Harris-inspired bobs to silky Lindsay Lohan-esque tresses, the season of the silk press (or straighter hairstyles) is officially here! It's been fun watching watching TikTok videos of women going to the salon to get their hair straightened, but it made me ask myself if people truly know how to maintain this style at home. It's one thing to watch a licensed hairstylist work their magic, but the upkeep may not be as straightforward for some people!

Luckily, celebrity hairstylists, Takisha Sturdivant-Drew and Natalie Lamorena, are here to answer all my burning questions. Sturdivant-Drew has over 20 years of experience working in the film and commercial industry, styling clients such as Kerry Washington, Lucy Liu, and Ashley Graham. She also worked on TV series like Suits and the Oscar-nominated film Ray. Lamorena owns Polished Pub Hair & Nail Bar— not to mention she invented the viral "Headicure" service for clients who love the idea of getting a manicure while receiving the best blowout of their lives. And with all that experience, the two of them have plenty to say about silk presses.

TL;DR

  • You should rely on professionals for the majority of your silk presses, but you can maintain them at home with "the right tools and products."
  • Different hair types require different temperatures and products — be sure to research and check with your hair dresser to make sure your treating your hair the right way.
  • Don't get a silk press if you've recently straightened your hair.
  • Heat protectant is key for any silk press or hair straightening.
  • Naturally curly or textured hair should limit silk presses to once or twice a month; other hair types should keep it to no more than once a week.
  • Be sure to wrap your hair correctly and use a bonnet to maintain your style.

How do you know when to straighten your hair at home or go to the salon?

Sephora

Desperate times call for desperate measures when you're due for a hair appointment and can't book one. I'm sure all of us have turned into an armchair hairstylist by giving ourselves a trim, quick haircut, or dye job. You've probably even watched a few tutorials about how to give yourself a homemade silk press or blowout. I know I've recently purchased a few things to help me maintain my hair at home, but should we be straightening our hair at home?

Lamorena says, "While it’s possible to straighten hair at home, I’d recommend going to a professional for the best results. Stylists know how to work with different hair types, adjust heat settings accordingly, and use high-quality products that protect your hair." If we decide to forego a stylist's expertise, she says we can "accidentally cause damage with uneven heat or over-processing."

Sturdivant-Drew agrees that it's best to see a stylist "for the first few silk presses," but it's not impossible to safely straighten your own hair. "If you have the right tools and products, along with research, you can achieve this hairstyle at home," she says.

How should different hair types approach a silk press?

Sephora

Just like everyone doesn't have the same skin complexion or undertones, hair types can differ too. This means someone with a fine hair isn't always going to have the same routine as someone with thicker strands — which is why all silk presses aren't the same. "There's definitely no one-size-fits-all approach. The technique used depends on the client’s hair type and texture," Lamorena confirms. This isn't to scare you, however!

Sturdivant-Drew says, "The process of getting a silk press is pretty standard — prepping the hair with shampoo, conditioner, and heat protectant, followed by straightening with a blow dryer and flat iron, and finishing with a lightweight oil or serum."

She and Lamorena do agree that some hair textures require a little more than others though. Lamorena says you could only need "a simple blowout and flat iron" while someone may need "more intensive treatments like keratin or a Brazilian blowout for longer-lasting results." If your hair is very curly or textured — and you're ultimately not seeing the results you want — she says chemically straightening your hair is another option. However, Sturdivant-Drew reminds me, "Stylists usually adjust heat settings based on their client's hair health and texture."

Either way, we always recommend you check with your stylist before making any permanent or lasting decisions!

What should you avoid doing before getting a silk press?

Mike Jones

Getting a silk press doesn't always involve chemicals, but there are still things you need to avoid before your appointment. Unlike the steps you may follow at home, Lamorena wants you to "avoid loading your hair with a bunch of heavy products " because this can "make the straightening process less effective and lead to more heat being used" than you need. Also, she doesn't want you to wash your hair because "natural oils protect your hair from the heat."

It probably goes without saying, but you also shouldn't book a silk press appointment if you've already straightened your hair. "...that can make it harder for the stylist to work with and could increase the risk of damage," says Lamorena. Besides that, Sturdivant-Drew advises against "using color or relaxers should be avoided before getting a silk press" because "this could lead to a lot of breakage."

What increases a risk of heat damage with this style?

Amazon

As gorgeous as silk presses are, it's possible to use "too much heat," according to Lamorena. She says, "People tend to crank up the heat on their flat irons and blow dryers, but that can seriously damage the hair cuticle, especially if your hair is fine or already fragile." Something I've learned over time is that a licensed and experienced hair stylist has better knowledge of what's really going on with our hair. They're able to have a clearer view of your scalp, roots, split ends, and more.

The other thing that contribute to damage is not protecting your hair. Lamorena implores that heat protectant products are "are crucial for minimizing damage." Even if you use the right products, you could be straightening your hair way too often. It's normal to want to have straighter hairstyles for a little while, but you should keep in mind that you don't want to overdo it.

"Not prepping or using a heat protectant on your hair will cause a lot of damage. Silk presses require a lot of heat, so it's best to use good heat protectant," adds Sturdivant-Drew. She personally prefers to use Smooth Moisture's Thermal Hair Strengthener because "their system is built for silk presses specifically." She loves that it truly upholds against heat and "adds a nice shine to the hair" once you apply it.

When would it be recommended that a client avoid getting a silk press?

Kaboompics.com

Here comes the not so fun part. As much as you don't want to hear this, your hair may not be able to handle getting a silk press right now. "If your hair is already damaged, it's best to hold off on straightening. Hair that's brittle, dry, or over-processed can be further damaged by heat styling," says Lamorena. What you can do in the meantime is help strengthen your hair by giving yourself "deep conditioning treatments," according to Lamorena.

This is completely up to you and your stylish, but Lamorena suggests staying away from having your hair straightened "during really humid months...if you're prone to frizz" because "the style may not last as long."

Is there a limit to how often clients should receive a silk press?

Tomaz Barcellos

I'm not an expert, but even I know too much of something can become a bad thing. In the case of using excess heat, I can imagine the implications of that over time. Lamorena says, "There's definitely a limit. You don't want to be straightening your hair too often," and shares her rule of thumb for textures:

  • Naturally Curly or Textured Hair — Limit silk presses to once or twice a month to avoid weakening the hair or losing your curl pattern.
  • Other Hair Types — Keep it to no more than once a week.

All hair types are capable of experiencing "long-term damage," but giving "your hair a break between sessions helps maintain its health," Lamorena says.

Sturdivant-Drew stresses, "Taking a break between silk presses is important in allowing your hair to recover and maintain the health of your hair. I recommend limiting your silk presses to every 6-8 weeks."

How can clients maintain this style at home during the fall?

Sephora

Even though cooler temperatures means you won't have to fight against possible frizz, you still have to take care of your silk press. "Maintaining a straight style during the fall can be tricky with cooler weather, wind, and dryness in the air, but it’s doable," says Lamorena. She suggests that you use:

  • Use a flat iron with adjustable heat settings to avoid unnecessary damage. Tools like the Dyson Corrale or GHD Platinum+ are solid options
  • A wide-tooth comb is great for detangling without pulling or breaking the hair

"Keeping up with a regular routine and using the right tools and products can really help your style last, even through the challenges that fall weather brings," she says.

No matter what your hair type is, Sturdivant-Drew suggests "wrapping your hair correctly and using a bonnet" as they're "key to maintaining" a silk press. Similar to what Lamorena said earlier, Sturdivant-Drew believes "humidity is your worst enemy...so try to avoid humid environments as best as possible!"

21 Of The Best Medical Dramas To Stream Right Now

I might not have wanted to be a doctor growing up, but man oh man do I enjoy watching a medical drama. Something about the literal life-or-death stakes in the operating room makes the personal stakes feel even juicier, and thanks to shows like Doctor Odyssey and Grey's Anatomy, it's never been a better time to be a medical drama fan. Here are some of the best medical TV shows to give you the chance to scrub in — and where to stream them.

Doctor Odyssey — On ABC/Hulu

Tina Thorpe/Disney

Max might live on a luxury cruise ship, but life is not a vacation (even if the crew really knows how to party). Working as the ship's doctor means constantly facing unexpected medical (and relational) issues. And while that already sounds complicated, being miles off shore doesn't help.

Doctor Odyssey stars Joshua Jackson, Don Johnson, Callum Swan, Emma Churms, and Stuart Clark.

Grey's Anatomy — On ABC/Hulu

Anne Marie Fox/Disney

You'd think by now we'd know what to expect from a day at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, but Grey's Anatomy season 21 has PLENTY of surprises in store. I'm still reeling from Mika's sister undergoing cancer treatment and potential fertility-saving treatment.

Grey's Anatomy season 21 stars Ellen Pompeo, Chandra Wilson, James Pickens Jr., Kevin McKidd, and Camilla Luddington.

Transplant — On Peacock

Keri Russell "Would Totally" Do 'Felicity' Reboot — On One Condition

Reboots and rewatches are all the rage right now, and for good reason. They're nostaltic, they're cozy, and they really make me wish I was a teenager in the 00s. In addition to Scott Patterson saying he's "always hopeful" for Gilmore Girls to come back, Keri Russell just revealed how much she'd love to revisit Felicity, too!

  • Keri Russell reveals she'd "totally do" a Felicity reboot — on one condition.
  • Scott Foley also says "it would be really nice" to get the cast back together.
  • Felicity ran from 1998-2002 on The WB and is now available to stream on Hulu.

    Are they rebooting Felicity?

    While promoting The Diplomat season 2, Keri Russell said she'd love to bring the series back if the story made sense. “I would totally do that if it was the right stuff,” she told E! News. “Mandy had a good pitch for it, actually. A really good pitch for, like… life wasn’t going great and, you know, didn’t work out. And she was supposed to be all these things. And then she bumps into someone…Never say never!"

    In case you haven't seen the show (which ran from 1998-2002 and is available to stream on Hulu, FYI), Felicity follows Keri Russell's titular character, who's in for a rude awakening when she follows her high school crush to college in New York City. But once she's there, she realizes just how big the Big Apple really is.

    The series also starred Scott Speedman as Ben Covington, Scott Foley as Noel Crane, Amy Jo Johnson as Julie Emrick, and Tangi Miller as Elena Tyler. Keri actually said they "all still talk all the time!”

    “They’re like my total pals,” she says.

    What else has the cast said about bringing Felicity back?

    Scott Foley told ET that he'd consider coming back for another installment of Felicity, even though he's been against a reboot in the past. "I had always said I wouldn't — you know, there's no reason to do anything," he said. "But just to be with them again, I think would be really nice... When we did the 20th reunion down in Texas at the [ATX Television Festival], we were onstage in a panel answering questions, and I missed being with them."

    "I don't know if it could ever really happen, you know, Felicity was such a specific show at a specific time that took took place in a specific moment in people's lives," he continues. "And it's really hard to recapture — especially with the amount of gray going on right now."

    In March, Greg Gunberg (who played Sean Blumberg) hinted that there'd be some "GIGANTIC Felicity News Coming VERY Soon."

    So are we getting a Felicity reboot? It looks like, in Keri Russell's words, never say never!
