There’s no doubt that leggings have been quite the wardrobe saviour over the past year. Along with joggers, these trousers with stretchy waistbands have allowed us to work from home in as much comfort as possible. But with news of lockdown restrictions easing soon, you, like me, might be feeling a little apprehensive about giving up the delightful easiness of these soft trousers. True, leggings might once have just been associated with slobbing around the house or doing exercise, but these days, they can be much more than that. In fact, there’s a super-easy way to ensure these humble jersey trousers can be elevated to a fashion statement.

As for shoes, you can go for boots, sandals, or trainers. I’ve seen plenty of great versions of this outfit combo that are easy to re-create.
