Leggings have come a long way from being a lazy-day uniform, and in 2025, the styling inspiration is 10/10. If they’re in your go-to outfit rotation, they can very much be part of an intentional look, not just a fallback. Think polished layers, effortless proportions, and accessories that signal you’re in on the fashion conversation. The new approach is all about styling black leggings with elevated separates that make them look like a deliberate outfit rather than an afterthought.

The wardrobe staple is one of those pieces that never fully disappears but can ebb and flow in relevance. Right now, they’re circling back into the fashion conversation—but with updated outfit combinations. In 2025, they’re not about bright colours, busy patterns, or anything that feels like you’re heading straight to a yoga class. Instead, they’re sleek, simple and styled in ways that look put-together, with an emphasis on black pairs as the base. When worn right, they can strike that balance between casual comfort and luxurious.
