The absolute softest leggings to live in (for the foreseeable future)
We love the dedication that comes with putting together a WFH outfit: from the trendy coordinated tracksuit to the charming hair accessories combined with polished (read: Zoom-appropriate) tops. While this fashion-forward applause is worthy, it’s still no secret that leggings are the best MVP when it comes to banking. As we are going to stay indoors for a moment, we are looking for the most comfortable pair we can drop into our two legs. Say hello to the soft leg. This is about the fabric here: some leggings have fun mesh panels; others have handy bags; there are some of the Saturday night faux leather; super-smooth compression styles perfect for workouts; and then of course there are the leggings so light that it feels like you have nothing on. But if they are not so comfortable, come-here-and-up-right-next-to-these-legs? Well, then we just are not interested right now. For anyone whose calendar is wide open for the winter season: sit back, relax and slip into one of the buttery bottoms ahead.
