Ever since they stormed back into the fashion spotlight in the early noughties, black leggings have been a fashionista fave. Whether you're sports luxing your running tights or looking to leather leggings for a grunge alternative to trousers, black leggings are here to stay when it comes to our capsule wardrobe must-haves.
Sports styling in black leggings
With sports luxe taking over high fashion and the high street, now is the time to invest in a little athleisure styling. If you can't quite brave the all over sports look, take things understated with a pair of black leggings. Look for form fitting running tights or yoga pants, and wear them with baggy knitwear and retro trainers for a casual take on the trend. If you're an all out sports luxe fan, pick some black leggings to wear with a metallic puffer jacket and a beanie hat. Finish the look with a pair of running shoes and some gold jewellery for a street style take on the trend.
Catwalk inspired black leggings
Revamp your wardrobe and switch out your favourite denim for a pair of black leggings. Wear them with oversized tees and hoodies for lounging around the house, or team them a cardigan and boots or a longline tee and sandals to take them outside. Luxe fabrics such as velvet and leather will take your black leggings to the next level. Style them with feminine blouses and ankle strap sandals for nights out, or wear them with smart lace-ups and a boyfriend shirt for brunch and lunch dates. This year's love for opulent layering is the perfect excuse to go all out. Look to lace black leggings, brocade fabrics and subtle patterns to exude luxury with longline tuxedo jackets and waistcoats with stilettos.
