Are Leggings Still in Fashion?

✅ Yes, but with upgrades.

2025 leggings are:

More structured (think thick ponte or tailored seams)
Often styled with elegant or elevated pieces
Worn in smart-casual and even workwear settings
Not just black — navy, chocolate, charcoal, and taupe are trending

They’re now part of the “quiet luxury” look: comfortable yet polished.

🔹 Best Leggings Styles in 2025

Style	Why It Works
Ponte or Tech-Knit Leggings	Thicker fabric, smoothing, no shine – ideal for smart wear
Split-Hem Leggings	Elongate the legs and pair perfectly with boots or heels
Stirrup Leggings	Back in fashion, worn under ballet flats or pointed shoes
High-Waisted	Universally flattering, supportive and modern
Cigarette-style Leggings	Look like tailored trousers but feel like leggings

🔹 How to Style Leggings in 2025

1. With a Blazer

✅ Chic and office-ready

Pair structured black leggings with:

Oversized blazer (camel, navy, ivory)
Silk or cotton blouse
Loafers or block-heel boots

2. With a Knit or Longline Jumper

✅ Relaxed but elevated

Choose a cashmere or ribbed knit
Belt it at the waist for shape
Add a leather crossbody bag and gold earrings

3. With a Button-Up Shirt

✅ Clean and modern

Crisp white or striped shirt
Add leggings and ballet flats or chunky loafers
Tuck or tie the shirt to define your shape

4. With a Long Coat or Trench

✅ Perfect for transitional weather

Slim black leggings
Layer with a trench or belted wool coat
Finish with pointed ankle boots or trainers

5. With Elevated Accessories

Gold jewellery
Leather bags
Classic sunglasses
Clean trainers or mules

🔹 Legging Colours That Work in 2025

Colour	Style Note
Black	Always classic; easiest to dress up
Charcoal or Grey	Pairs well with soft neutrals
Deep Navy	Chic alternative to black
Chocolate Brown	Very on-trend in 2025
Stone or Taupe	Elegant and clean when styled right

Avoid overly shiny, sheer, or neon styles — those feel dated.

👗 Fit Is Key

If leggings are:

Too tight – they can dig in and highlight the wrong areas
Too loose – they look messy and baggy at the knees
Poorly placed seams – they distort your shape

That’s why sizing them properly is non-negotiable.

✅ Final Styling Tips

✔️ Always cover the crotch area if you're not at the gym

✔️ Add structure on top (blazers, coats, shirts)

✔️ Swap trainers for boots or loafers to elevate the look

✔️ Stick to thick, matte fabrics to avoid clingy or cheap feel

✔️ Accessorise with polish — small leather bags, subtle jewellery
