How to style casual cozy sweater and leggings?

Wouldn’t you like to know how to style casual cozy sweater and leggings?

Casual Friday outfits are my favorite when I wear a casual cozy sweater and leggings.

This type of outfit is perfect for when you can relax at home or running around town.

Most days for me are casual so I love it when I find a cozy long sweater to put on over my leggings and still feel pulled together.

Is it weird to wear a sweater with leggings?

Heck no! It is the most comfy way to wear an oversized sweater.

I like to layer my sweaters with a basic white blouse underneath to give it a little more polish.

Also having a collar underneath breaks up the color around my shoulders and neck area.

I have broad shoulders and a short waist so the more I can find ways to break up large blocks of color the better.

Black Leggings

Leggings are seriously one of the best inventions!

They have what I like to call the four C’s. Comfortable, casual, cute and cozy. They are so perfect in the winter!

Long tunic sweaters look so good with them.

Paired with a long white blouse, a long coat and some boots and you are good to go!

Or you could also wear your leggings with a long cardigan sweater and some flats or heels for a little more dressed up look.

Favorite Adidas white sneakers

To run around town in my causal cozy sweater and leggings I wear my favorite adidas white sneakers. They are my go to shoes for comfort and cute casual style.

If it is snowing I would wear my Sorel snow boots to keep my feet warm and dry.

Plus I really like how my leggings look tucked into a higher snow boot too.

Adding a fun scarf

If you have followed me for any length of time you know how much I love scarves. They bring color, texture and style to practically any outfit!

It also keeps me warm! Interesting to note though that I have even worn lightweight scarves in the spring and summer. I have noticed when we travel to Italy or any where in Europe the women always have a scarf on.

Sunglasses and a mini crossover bag

Last but not least to finish off my casual cozy sweater and leggings outfit I add sunglasses and a mini crossover bag!

Simple easy casual and fun to wear!

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!

  • Hi Karin! The picture you posted in your leggings outfit is also my favorite look! Not only is it very stylish but comfortable too! I recently lost 65 lbs. and bought my first pair of leggings. Now I have tons of them! I love the look with sweaters and sweatshirts. I also have a ton of boots and sneakers. I'm just starting to get into the scarf look. I also love to receive your emails. It takes me a long time to read them because I go thru EVERYTHING!!
