Where would we be without black leggings?

They really are the ultimate must-have because they're comfortable, go with literally everything and if you get the right pair, they can be super stylish too. The trick is finding ones you're happy with because camel-toe/see-through fabric isn't exactly a look we're going for. Faux leather leggings are perfect for this time of year because they're warmer than your standard pair of leggings and bonus, they add a statement touch to any ensemble. Throw them on with your favourite knit and immediately, you have a winning chic-casual ensemble that takes zero effort, ideal. That said, there are a lot of styles to choose from and it can be difficult knowing which ones to purchase. You want a pair that will last more than one season, are comfortable enough to wear daily and look good too, a tough combination to find. Enter Spanx Motorbike leggings. They are getting a lot of love on Instagram at the moment and we can see why. They fit to your natural shape, enhance your silhouette, feature an elasticated construction for maximum comfort and the ribbed panels at the front make them look so expensive. You can pick them up for €110 from Brown Thomas and given the number of times you'll wear them, they'll soon pay for themselves. I'm all about the style staples at the moment, pieces I can get maximum wear from and these black leggings definitely fit the bill. Main image via Spanx
