It’s Official: Leggings Can Be the Chicest Party Option, Just Style Them With This Specific Shoe and Jacket Combo

If you’ve only ever reached for leggings on gym days or lazy weekends, allow Simone Ashley to expand your horizons. Stepping out this week the actor proved how easily leggings can mould into a festive-season hero.

Rather than defaulting to an oversized knit or casual trainers, Simone layered hers with Chloé’s Short Riding Coat (£2500), cinched neatly with the brand’s Midnight Belt (£750). The structured silhouette brought polish, giving her sleek black leggings a refined edge that pushed them firmly into “eveningwear” territory.

Stepping into a pair of suede heeled pumps, Simone’s shoe choice added height, a complementary wash of colour and an outfit-elevating textural contrast. With Chloé’s Bracelet Bag (£2050) in hand, she crafted a leggings look that was comfortable, elegant and far from casual.
