<-h2->Leggings with opacity and recovery<-h2-> Leggings earn their place by being the least complicated decision of the day. This selection covers jersey, ribbed and leather-look finishes in black, charcoal and deeper colour, cut full length or cropped at the ankle. A black jersey pair with an oversized knit, a chunky boot and a long coat handles a cold Sunday and still looks intentional. A leather-look pair reads sharper: a blazer, a fine knit, a heeled ankle boot and a cluster of gold rings, and Friday drinks are covered. Ribbed versions sit well with a longline top and trainers for travel days, a cross body bag across the shoulder. Cropped lengths sit neatly above a flat ankle boot once spring arrives. Because they slip under everything, they make the rest of the wardrobe more useful, which is the real argument for owning several. Fabric with proper recovery keeps its shape at the knee through repeated wear. Jersey, rib and leather-look finishes all come cropped or full length.
