Who doesn't love to feel comfortable? I love comfort but hate compromising style. It irks me when I see girls in the street with pajamas... yes, I said pajamas!! It's not cute its not sexy, but yes its comfortable. There are many brands that master the art of Comfy chic which I would say would comprise of 80% of my fashion choices. The rest would be hip hugging, ultra uncomfortable baggy clothes!

Vince and Helmut Lang are my favorite clothing brands. The company Vince encompasses itself with loose fitting tops that are sexy yet demure. Silk tops, Long tanks, and most importantly amazing textiles. I feel better wearing their clothes than pajamas. Did I mention I like comfort? My staple however is their leggings. I am such a devotee of Vince Leggings that I haven't worn jeans in 2 weeks. 
Vince is a somewhat monochromatic brand, so my only complaint would be the fact that I cant buy them in every color in the rainbow. Not that I would look cute in magenta colored Leggings but you get the point. 

I currently have 3 Vince leggings. However Vince is not the only brand that does leggings right. Zara is a more popular brand and does great leggings that are released seasonally. Their prices are more modest in comparison to Vince and still deliver great quality. BCBG MaxAzria also has great leggings. they are constructed with thicker textiles more appropriate to colder weather. 

Helmut Lang doesnt fall too far behind. This brand masters the art of infusing comfort into edgy chic. Asymmetrical design with hard edges and soft fabrics. Mixture of Funky prints and subtle colors. Ok, back to leggings. Focus!!!!! Helmut Lang has amazing leather leggings which features different colors and textures. 

So lets get to the important part: Prices!
At the top of the price chart would be Helmut Lang and Vince, with Leather leggings ranging from $800 to $1500. 
Viscose Leggings start at $235.

Can't afford these? Don't worry, most of the time I can't either. But I have to admit I do stalk Ebay for these beauties, and once in a blue moon they do turn up for an amazing bargain, and I can't resist.  

What can I say about these Leggings that I haven't already said? Oh yes! How can you style these? These look great with boots, Ballet flats or...... you guessed it...... Isabel Marant sneakers!!! LOL!!
