Let’s be honest, leggings are the unsung hero of every closet. They’re comfy, stretchy, and easy to throw on... but that doesn’t mean you have to reserve them for couch days or coffee runs. Whether you’re running errands, hopping on a Zoom call, or heading to brunch with friends, here’s how to style leggings for every kind of day, without sacrificing comfort!
Start with the right pair of leggings
Before we get into the outfits, let’s talk about what makes a great pair of leggings:
Fabric
Look for leggings made from high-quality, breathable fabrics that are soft and comfortable. Heavier-weight fabrics are your friend, they help smooth things out, stay opaque (no peek-through moments!), and hold their shape wear after wear.
At Miik, we use bamboo or modal fabric that’s naturally breathable, buttery-soft, and not too thick that you’ll overheat, but dark enough that your undies stay hidden. They give just the right amount of coverage and compression, without feeling restrictive. Plus, they hold up beautifully wash after wash.
Fit + rise
A good fit makes all the difference when it comes to leggings. High-rise styles are a great option as they sit right at your natural waist, offer support through the midsection, and give you that smooth, held-in feel.
But mid-rise leggings deserve a little love, too. They sit just below the natural waist but still offer coverage. If you don’t love anything hugging your stomach too high, mid-rise is a super comfy option that still looks polished.
Colour
Black leggings are your staple in every wardrobe, but if you’re ready to switch things up, there are plenty of colours that can be mixed and matched with your top to create a cohesive look. Colours like navy, olive, and charcoal feel a little softer and more intentional than basic black, and they’re just as versatile.
Now that we know the basics of finding the one, let’s get into styling leggings so you can feel comfortable and stylish all in one.
Casual

Leggings are your best friend for an easy, everyday look. Pair them with a relaxed Miik top or a tunic, and you’ve got that perfect mix of cozy and cool, without any effort. Throw on your favourite sneakers or sandals, and you’re good to go.
Sporty-chic

Sporty chic? No problem! Throw on a tank or a polo, and you’re ready to hit the gym, run errands, or meet up with friends for coffee. Finish the look with your go-to running shoes or sporty sneakers.
Dressy

Leggings aren’t just for lounging; they can totally pull off a polished look, too. Pair them with a nice blouse or a dressy tunic that flows just right, and you’ve got an outfit that’s comfy and chic. Swap sneakers for dressy sandals or flats, add a statement necklace or earrings, and you’re ready for dinner dates, casual workdays, or whatever the night brings.
Loungewear

Just because you’re hanging out at home doesn’t mean you can’t feel your best, both in comfort AND style. That’s why Miik tops are designed to take you from cozy loungewear straight to something a bit more polished with just a quick styling switch. Throw on your favourite Miik tank or tee and you’ll feel like lounging on a cloud.
Fun summer prints

Summer is the perfect time to play with fun colours and prints, and that includes your leggings, too! Swap your usual neutrals for fun patterns paired with coloured leggings for a cohesive look. When wearing bold prints, try matching your legging colour to one of the shades in the pattern for a pulled-together, cohesive look. For example, if your top has hints of green or blue, pick leggings in that same colour to make the outfit pop without feeling overwhelming.
Leggings aren’t just for lounging, they’re your go-to for comfort and style all day long. Especially when they’re Miik leggings, made from buttery-soft, breathable fabrics that move with you no matter where your day takes you. Whether you’re dressing casual, sporty, dressy, or just relaxing at home, there’s a perfect Miik legging to match your vibe.
With much love,
Your Miik team 🤍
