What to Wear with Velvet Leggings: 3 Outfit Ideas
Even if you’re having a more laid-back Christmas, you can still look glam. Plush velvet leggings are luxurious, festive, and oh, so comfy at holiday time.
Black is the most popular color for velvet leggings. I practically live in my Spanx black velvet leggings in December. In fact, I liked them so much, I just picked up the exact same pair in red.
Today, I’m sharing 3 ways to style red velvet leggings. Follow along to see what to wear with them to look festive and fabulous!

Where to Buy Red Velvet Leggings
Spanx makes a beautiful pair of red velvet leggings that have built in technology to give you a great shape. Their famous hidden power waistband shapes your core, keeps your stomach flat and your bottom perky, just what many of us are looking for at midlife and beyond!
Talbots also has a lovely quality pair they offer every Christmas. Both red velvet leggings are quality, and more of a rich jewel-toned burgundy than pure red, so they are quite classy.
How to Wear Velvet Leggings
Casual Outfit – Red Velvet Leggings + Sweater
With leggings it’s always good to cover your bottom, although these leggings are opaque enough that you can go a bit shorter. One way I like to wear these burgundy velvet leggings with with a long ivory turtleneck sweater. This one (similar) has some nice texture that offsets the the very smooth velvet leggings.
To get a sporty look I like to pair these leggings with my favorite lug sole booties, but dressier booties also pair really well with any color velvet legging.
Dressy Outfit – Red Velvet Leggings + Blazer
Another way to style red velvet leggings is to wear them with a long blazer. This dressier look is perfect for holiday parties and evening cocktail events.
Wear this pretty camisole underneath your jacket. Then, accent with a glamorous, studded clutch and these fine, suede, pointy-toe booties. Don’t forget some gorgeous earrings. What a great evening look!
Cozy Glam Outfit – Red Velvet Leggings + Tall Boots
A long black tunic sweater looks classy and cozy with red velvet leggings and quiets the red. In 2025 the trend is to tuck your leggings into tall for a chic city look.
The oversize crystal statement necklace glams up this outfit for special events and parties, and I love the chic bucket bag. The leather ribbing and gold chain detail make the whole outfit pop!
