The Best Cozy Sweaters from Kohl’s to Wear with Black Leggings
Easy Winter Outfits with Sweaters and Leggings
Gurls, when the temperatures drop, my brain immediately goes into “comfort mode.” If it’s soft, warm, and long enough to cover the parts I prefer to keep cozy, then sign me up. This time of year, black leggings and boots become my uniform, and a great sweater is what makes the whole outfit look intentional instead of “I gave up and grabbed whatever was on the chair.”
Kohl’s has been hitting the sweet spot lately with sweaters that look classic, feel extra soft, and don’t cost a small fortune. Today I’m sharing three of my favorites, all styled with the same black leggings and riding boots, so you can see how easy these pieces are to mix and match.

The Preppy Winter Look I Didn’t Know I Needed
This outfit has that polished and preppy feel without trying too hard, the kind of winter look you can wear running errands, meeting a friend for lunch, or just staying warm at home while pretending you’ve got your whole life together. The ivory sweater really brightens the face, and you know I never turn down a little visual lift on a cold January morning.
LC Lauren Conrad Varsity Sweater
This ivory V-Neck Sweater has a classic varsity trim that instantly makes the outfit look sharp. It hangs beautifully without clinging, and the ribbed hem adds just enough structure to keep everything looking smooth. The weight is perfect for layering, and it’s soft against the skin, not scratchy. The contrast trim is what makes this one feel special.
LC Lauren Conrad Mid-Rise Leggings
Black leggings are a staple for a reason, especially when they fit well through the waist and don’t sag in the knees. This pair by Lauren Conrad have a smooth finish, a comfortable mid-rise, and enough stretch to move with you all day. They create a clean, simple base that lets the sweater take center stage.
A Bold Stripe Moment That Actually Works with Leggings
If you love stripes, this one will make you smile. The bold black-and-white pattern feels modern and chic, and the mock neck adds a touch of sophistication. This whole look is easy, comfortable, and flattering. And yes, Lucy tried to sneak into one of these photos because she thinks everything is about her.
Sonoma Goods for Life Oversized V-Neck Sweater (Striped)
This black-and-white tunic sweater is oversized without swallowing you. The horizontal stripes are spaced well, giving the sweater a graphic, modern feel. It drapes nicely, feels super soft, and looks great with the leggings because the proportions stay balanced. A mock neck gives it a neat, elevated finish.
Sonoma Goods for Life Riding Boots
A classic riding boot never lets you down. This pair has a sleek profile that elongates the leg, and the height is perfect with leggings. They have a comfortable footbed and enough room for thicker socks if you need the extra warmth. These boots are one of those pieces that make any outfit look more pulled together.
This Pretty Blue Sweater Has a Way of Brightening Everything
This soft blue Turtleneck Sweater has that wintery, cozy feel that just makes you want to curl up with a warm drink. It looks relaxed yet put-together, and the length gives great coverage, which my sister would say is “a blessing and a requirement.” I love how the color brightens the outfit without being loud.
LC Lauren Conrad Cable Turtleneck Sweater
This Tunic Sweater checks every box. It’s warm, it’s soft, and the cable knit gives it that timeless winter texture. The turtleneck is comfortable and not too tight, and the hemline has just the right amount of length for pairing with leggings. It’s one of those sweaters that feels as good as it looks.
Final Thoughts
Winter dressing doesn’t have to be complicated. A great sweater, a pair of comfortable leggings, and boots that can handle a full day on your feet will take you just about anywhere. Kohl’s has so many good options right now, and if you’re anything like me, you’ll find yourself reaching for these pieces again and again.
If you pick up one of these sweaters, let me know which one spoke to you. The varsity trim, the soft blue turtleneck, or the bold stripes? I always love hearing which styles you’re drawn to.
