Love 'em or hate 'em, it's hard to deny that leggings are totally passable as pants when styled properly. Of course, no bottoms — leggings or otherwise — are going to look spectacular when paired with an old, ripped T-shirt and house slippers. But if you know how to style them with the right tops, shoes, and accessories, nobody will even notice that you're wearing leggings.
With fall officially here, now's the time to make sure you know how to wear all the pants in your wardrobe, leggings included. With the appropriate seasonal staples on hand, they'll be just as valuable the next few months as your favorite jeans and booties.

The unexpected layering piece you need for fall is a sheer long-sleeved top — throw it under a bomber to make your look feel trend-forward, not a sloppy fallback. Top the outfit off with celeb-approved accessories, like a dad hat and oversized sunglasses, for an errand-running ensemble that still looks like you made the effort.

It's usually a bummer when fall rolls around and you can't wear tanks anymore. When the temps drop, it's just about layering them over a graphic long-sleeved T-shirt. Keep this skater vibe going with a slip-on sneaker and some leggings that have a track-stripe detail. Finish the outfit with a sporty duffle-style bag.
