This post brought to you by Athleta, the premier fitness fashion brand for women.
When fall comes around, one of the most exciting things for me is to stock up on my new fall wardrobe. There are those essentials year in and year out that always come in handy. A couple weeks ago I shared some essentials and now I have a few more to share, but most importantly, one essential: the black legging.
Leggings have come a long way even in just the past few years. What used to only be gym attire has turned into a staple for women all around the world. From thicker fabric to pockets and more, leggings are the perfect fall pant for the stylish girl on the go.

I paired my new Athleta leggings with a light chambray top and some simple d’Orsay flats. These leggings are so much thicker and more structured than traditional leggings, but are of course just as comfortable as always. I also love that they have pockets on the back! I finished the look with my absolute favorite accessory: a fall felt fedora. Then I added a chic Celine bag for an on-trend, yet relaxed fall look.
Leggings are also great for going from running errands to working out. They’re so versatile that you can wear them with almost anything. I also have this really great hoodie from Athleta that I plan to wear once it cools down a little. It has a little loop in the sleeve that I can put my thumb through. I love that!
Are leggings one of your fall essentials?

I usually stay away from leggings in the winter and switch to skinny jeans. However, these leggings look perfect as the pocket suggests they are a little thicker.

Yep, these are perfect to transition to winter even! Depending on how cold it is where you live, you might even be able to wear these in December-January!

You’re convincing me that leggings should be one of my fall staples. I love how you put this outfit together. Those shoes are spectacular! I’ve also been on the hunt for a cute chambray shirt. I love the one you have on!

I still don’t really understand how leggings have become acceptable as pants. However, totally understand their appeal, especially with pockets!

These are definitely much thicker and more structured than traditional leggings. They’re more like pants than a lot of my other pants made of other materials!

Black leggings are a complete must have – I practically live in them September through May! I love that they’ve come so far in recent years, and can be so dressed up now. I just love the sleek silhouette they provide, and I think I have about 5 pair now! Great post, and that bag is to die for!

I am a huge legging fan in the Fall! I usually find them too thin for colder winter days, but I am definitely going to look into these thicker ones for chillier days! I love an outfit that can go from a coffee date to the gym with just a few changes- great picks!

I’ve been coming across quite a few variations of the thicker legging – definitely more appropriate to wear as pants than the older version!

Leggings! My black pair from h&m need to be replaced. I’m definitely getting a new black pair and then possibly a grey pair too.

My favorite fall leggings are the flattering ruching and elongated zippers ones from Abi Ferrin.

Ooh, that sounds cute! I have some with ruching at the ankle and I really love them!
