Cute Tops & Tunics to Wear With Leggings This Fall
With the changing of the leaves comes the urge to dig into your closet and pull out some of your favorite fall clothes. If you love wearing leggings this time of year and you want to refresh your look, then here are ten styles of cute tops and tunics to wear with leggings this fall.
1. Animal Print Tunics
Leopard, cougar, tiger… You’re going to be seeing many big cat prints this fall, and they are a natural match with a pair of sleek black leggings. An animal print tunic can be worn on its own or with a chic black sleeveless vest for a fresh, layered look. Gorgeous suede boots amp up the glam factor and will make you look tall and slim.
2. Ribbed Tunic Sweaters
The easiest way to transition into fall is with a sweater that reflects nature. This green ribbed knit tunic has a beautiful texture and looks rich against the backdrop of pretty colored leaves. Pair with edgy faux leather leggings and an animal print bag to tie the whole look together.
3. All Season Red Tunics
Red tunics over leggings are trendy and for a good reason. It’s a beautiful fall color, perfect at holiday time, and when you’re trying to decide what to wear to your neighbor’s open house, it goes right into spring. This red, layered asymmetrical tunic is very modern and figure-flattering, and 3/4 length sleeves are always youthful.
4. Chic Black Tunics
After a summer of white, it feels good to get back to black, and a chic black tunic over black leggings feels so chic. Spice it up with some fall accessories in rich harvest shades like riding boots, and a great bag.
5. Long, Silky Blouses
A silk tunic is another type of long top for leggings. This roll-tab sleeve blouse is flowy, feminine, but sporty too.
6. Long Button-Up Shirts
The classic button-up shirt is everyone’s favorite, with a pair of black leggings or jean leggings. There are a million and one ways to a shirt like this, making it a versatile and fun piece to have in your closet. This lavender shade is right on trend and paired with black is a fresh fall color combination.
7. Off the Shoulder Tunic Sweaters
If you like a slightly edgy top to wear with leggings, try an off-the-shoulder sweater. Plus leggings and riding boots. This sophisticated fall outfit is as comfy as it is chic.
8. Long, Sheer Tunics
Leggings look great with layered looks in fall and all year round. This seasonless semi-sheer tunic layers beautifully over black leggings and a black camisole. This is a dressier look for the lady who loves leggings day and night.
9. Turtleneck Sweaters
A long cozy turtleneck is just what you need this fall to create cute leggings look. Plaid booties add some pattern and make leggings look modern.
10. Asymmetrical Tunics
For an artsy look, try an asymmetrical tunic worn with leggings.
Over to you: are you as much a fan of leggings as I am? More cute fall tops to wear with leggings are here.
I’m 5’1″. Can I style leggings with short booties?
Terry, Yes, short booties with leggings are acceptable.
I am a fan of leggings! Thank you for showing all these beautiful looks- all classy and sharp. I hopped right over to Nordstrom’s and ordered the Eileen Fisher paprika tunic AND the scarf you showed with it … what a fabulous transitional fall outfit.
I am with you when it comes to wearing a longer tunic with leggings! I find leggings are the most flattering with a tunic that hits a couple of inches above the knees or a short dress…
I am always amazed at how many young and older women wear leggings as if they were pants. This is fine at the gym but not appropriate for wearing in public. Even women with perfect figures look “half-undressed” when they wear leggings with short tops. Sadly, I see this look on many women who don’t have great backsides — regardless of age — and do themselves when they wear leggings as pants. I am always a little embarrassed for them.
Cynthia, I agree with your comment. I am tired of the leggings look. I don’t plan to wear mine this winter.
Tunics with leggings: that’s how I wear them. All of these will fit the bill.
