I’ve professed my love affair with shiny black leggings before (also called leather leggings, rubber leggings, pleather leggings), but I thought it would be fun to put together a post on how to style them since they can be a little tricky. It took me a while to figure out how to avoid looking like you just came from high school track practice or looking like you’re working the street (yikes). In general I style them very casually, but I love how even casually with sneakers and an army jacket they look very rock star chic. Here are a few ways I love to style my shiny black leggings (the first outfit below was what I wore the first day of Alt Summit!).

P.S. This pair of shiny black leggings I’m wearing in the shoot is from Asos ($28!), which also comes in petite sizes.
