10 Rules for Effortless, Everyday Style

In this series, I share some simple tips for leveling up your daily looks.

While I’m a big advocate of getting dressed in “real clothes” as often as possible to keep myself sane and productive, I also am self-aware enough to know that leggings are definitely going to be worn way more than usual during this season of being quarantined at home with my kids. Today I’m sharing a full week of outfits with black leggings that are both comfortable and presentable in case you need to be on a video conference for work.

These are the leggings I’m wearing in every look—they fit true to size and have light compression. And my hoop earrings are both from my shop, and will be restocked later this spring! I’m wearing the 14K Gold Hoop Earrings and 14K Gold Textured Huggie Hoop Earrings.

Sweater (c/o) / Shirt (and similar) / Mules (c/o) / Mug

These mule loafers are SO comfortable. I picked them out for my Everlane video this month and I honestly just want to wear them all the time. I sized up 1/2 size and they’re a perfect fit.

I love that this blazer is so cozy, yet adds structure to any outfit. It runs really big, and I ended up sizing down 2 sizes. For the cashmere sweater, I went up a size so it wouldn’t be too fitted.

This shirt is oversized but I stayed TTS so it would wear well with leggings. I also linked a similar oversized striped shirt option! I sized up 1/2 size in the mules.

I sized down in this shirt, and went up 1/2 size in the mules.

I love the sporty casual-chic feel of this one! The sneakers are true to size and have no break in time. I recommend sizing up in the jacket.

I got my true size in the turtleneck, but I say if you’re on the fence at all, definitely size up. This one fits great, but if it were bigger I wouldn’t mind.

I sized up 1/2 size in the mules and they’re a perfect fit.
