Here is your problem. You work from home and “Casual Friday” is an everyday vibe. You are wearing the same (fave) leggings 3 (or more) days in a row. When your office cubicle is actually your bed or the couch, your outfits might become “meh”. But, we love leggings. Here’s how to keep-on-keeping-on with those coveted (maybe Spanx?) leggings in a few simple upgraded ways you can do right now.
Let’s make it as EASY as possible to look chic in our favorite work from home leggings…
Start with Foundation Pieces
Foundational pieces are a sophisticated way to say leggings and tunic. Because you betcha that those coveted “daily” leggings are a foundational piece. And that black top (my go-to) you pair most often with those leggings are also a foundational piece. Good news: You can wear these 2 “work from home” uniform pieces EVERY SINGLE day after day but look COMPLETELY different (for those Target runs!) with VERY simple edits.
Mix Up a Few Key Pieces
Wearing your favorite go-to leggings and top, here’s how to easily switch up the outfit vibe of those 2 pieces.
Keeping your 2 “foundational” pieces going strong, just change out the jacket/blazer/vest.
- Each time you just switch out the top layer jacket for a different one you majorly mix up the vibe. That’s all I did (below) and see how different each outfit is.
- Remember, I am wearing the same leggings/top in each look – just changed the top layer.
Truth: Subtle changes or additions with your fab foundational 2 pieces is all it takes.
- In each look, I just switched my shoes. Done & done to appear completely different.
- Again, I’m still wearing my staple “work from home” outfit of leggings and black tunic.
Finishing touches, but not a requirement. Mix up your accessories.
- That means changing out your bag, necklace, earrings.
- Any and all of the above accessory changes will bring the eye to that “new” piece which will (again) make your leggings and tunic appear like an entirely different outfit.
- Note: a “new” accessory could be as simple as a winter pom-pom hat!
Easy solution to upgrade your basic “work from home” outfit. Hope it helps you in creating new “glam” outfits (with leggings!)

These are some great looks! I tend to wear lots of black sweats, so I’d pair the outfit with those. I have never been a fan of leggings. They just don’t look good on my body.
The leggings do look great with all your amazing coats. It is so smart to start with the legs and work up and keep switching it up.
These looks are super cute. I have to look into getting these leggings. They look really comfortable.
Love the cute hat!
These legging looks are great. It’s nice to have plenty of outfits that use leggings because they’re super comfy!
oh my gosh i love all of these ideas for this outfit- esp that hat!
Lol, you pretty much described me to a T in the beginning. But I bet that dressing a little nicer would make me feel more professional, and maybe I would get more work done? It’s worth a try!
There is nothing quite like a good pair of leggings at times is there? I have to admit I am adoring the styles you have gone for in the post – you could wear them so many places and they aren’t typically what comes to mind when you think leggings.
That’s why I love leggings so much. You can style them up or down and either way, they look great.
I love how versatile you made one pair of leggings. I’ve got two pairs of jeans that are my favorite and the others I only wear if both of my favorites are dirty. Often times, I feel like I wear the same several shirts too. Now I know how to change up my look with a few of your ideas and end up with a totally different look. Thank you for this, I’ve not very fashion savvy.
It’s pretty amazing how much you can do with leggings. I love your work at home attire options for a fashionable working person who loves to be comfortable yet stylish all at once.
I love how versatile your outfits are. And they all look so comfy! I’ll have to check out some of these pieces.
You looks so stunning on those outfits. I’m sure my wife will love to see this. She’s definitely a fashion enthusiast. Thanks for sharing.
These are clever ideas to level up the leggings game. I pretty much use leggings almost everyday. Love your ideas!
Leggings are just so versatile and definitely the comfiest ever. Thank you for all the ideas. Love all the outfits!
I love all of these looks. I work from home and my uniform is jeans and a sweater. The only time I put on leggings is to go to the gym. Maybe it’s time to buy fashion leggings.
I love all of them but my favorite is number 2! I wear leggings almost every day, so comfy and feel great on my body.
Those are great leggings, shoes and accessories. Looks beautiful it suit on you.
Its fab how a pair of black leggings can go so well with so many outfits. Love it.
