When she’s not working with big names like Lupita Nyong’o, Jennifer Hudson, and Hilary Swank, celebrity stylist Micaela Erlanger also divulges her fashion expertise in our Ask a Stylist column. From the best places to source vintage to the secret to finding your most flattering jeans, come back each week for a professional’s perspective.
At this point, leggings have become a staple in most of our closets, but when it comes to wearing the athleisure trend outside of the gym, I prefer to opt for sleek leather or luxe suede options. I traditionally shop for ones with minimal detailing (I like to keep it simple) and let these rich materials do the talking. My favorite pairs are from Alice + Olivia and Vince; both brands make amazing fits that are stylish and insanely comfortable.
Scroll down to shop my top picks for fall!
