8 Shoe Styles to Complement Your Leggings This Spring (Not Sneakers)

You can bet that every woman has a pair plain black leggings in her closet. Slim-fitting pants have been a wardrobe staple ever since the advent of athleisure. Spandex was popular in the 1980s, but it has been out of fashion for a while. Leggings were once a fashionable statement, but many of us have relegated them to our favorite fitness classes.

However, I think that stretchy bottoms, when paired with the right accessories and shoes, can look quite stylish. Pieter Mulier’s Spring/Summer 2020 Alaia Collection, which featured faux leather coated stirrup pants and pointed leather pumps. Miley Cyrus recreated the look during a recent intimate concert of her Grammy award-winning song, “Flowers”. Cyrus proves that leggings are more than just yoga pants, when they’re paired with high-heeled shoes.

Loafers
