Christmas Day's been and gone but it's not New Year's Eve, leaving you and your wardrobe in something of a No Man's Land. And while your festive finery might get a second wind in a few short days, now's not the time for bodycon. Or sequins. Instead, why not turn to one thing in your wardrobe that's always a safe haven when your plans involve shuffling between the sofa and the fridge: leggings.

Whatever kind of pair you gravitate towards - super-soft, sweat-wicking, sculpted - leggings are brilliant for lounging, dashing to the supermarket and walking the dog, plus they can look surprisingly chic if you style them a certain way. Just look at Tamu McPherson, who wore her black leggings at Paris Fashion Week (yes, really), paired with a fabulous leather smock. Swap the leather smock for a leather coat - Aligne has a brilliant belted version in forest green - and the heeled boots for stomper boots and you've got a high-impact, low-effort outfit that will, most importantly, be comfortable.

Hailey Bieber is obviously the queen of making leggings look intentional - and her best trick is to wear them with a tonal outfit, say, head-to-toe grey. By matching your coat to your leggings, the entire effect is much less of a mish-mash. Trade the trainers for loafers, clogs or ballet pumps and you'll shift the dial from post-gym to polished in no time. Lori Harvey, meanwhile, has another good tip for making your off-duty leggings look a little less like you're running late for a yoga class.

They key is in the accessories. For a recent excursion, Harvey wore her leggings with socks and sliders, yes, but also a leather shoulder bag and black shades. Understated with a side of glamour. So, there you have it. And remember: after you've dialled up the drama for the 31st, you can luxuriate in leggings for the rest of January. That's definitely something to look forward to.
