Sure, Black Leggings Are Timeless, But This Colored Alt Is Much More 2025
When I think of leggings, my mind instantly drifts to the classic hue of black. It evokes memories of my school days, dance classes, and weekend hangouts with friends, during which I was wearing those trusty black leggings. Now that I've matured, however, I'm eager to broaden my legging collection and introduce colors that can elevate my wardrobe. Given that my style leans toward the understated, I've been looking for a pair that feels lively and refreshingly distinct from black yet remains just as versatile and polished.
My quest took a thrilling turn yesterday when I spotted Hailey Bieber confidently wearing a striking pair of emerald-green leggings. As she made her way to a workout class in NYC, her colorful leggings caught my eye, radiating energy, flair, and luxe appeal. She styled them effortlessly, pairing them with a cozy white hooded sweatshirt, a black leather bomber jacket, crew socks, and sporty sneakers. It was a stunning example of how to incorporate color while retaining ease, style, and comfort.
