Leggings are not pants! I've said this many times, yet I dare to stand here in the middle of the street in a pair of them? On weekends I'll admit I wear them with tunics and long sweater coats like this one. When dashing around town from Girl Scouts to dance class to Target to the dry cleaner's to the market (and a stop at Starbucks to keep going) I want something comfortable, easy, and machine washable. These leggings from Svelte are nice; the double-knit ponte maintains opacity even when stretched and the built in tummy tucking panel keeps things smooth. I've washed these leggings multiple times and they maintained their color without a single pill or fuzz ball. If you're considering them, I recommend if you're between sizes go down since the quality material and construction prevents all the issues with most leggings.

Karl calls this sweater my Matrix jacket; it has become one of the most-worn things in my closet with these frigid temps. The cashmere is super thick and plush and warm and the real leather lined sleeves are are also warm and protect me from the wind and I wrap the waterfall part around me to stay cozy. Tall boots add a layer of warmth (there's cashmere knee socks under there) and a level of style to what essentially is luxe loungewear and comfy cozy weekend garb!
