Then, there is Nike’s sportier style, which you can don to your next workout (or not). Other black leggings to love include those from Wolford and Spanx to Éterne and Mango, all of which can be worn with other best-of-basics to the season’s most wanted. As we ease into the cold-weather season, here’s to elevating your wardrobe essentials in style, beginning and ending with these eight black-legging outfits.
The Street Style Staple With a Statement Red Overcoat
Leave it to the street style scene to crown the season’s newest It item. And in this case, it’s a simple yet striking stirrup legging. Styling-wise, follow suit and wear yours from Leset with Banana Republic’s statement red overcoat, By Far’s pointed-toe pumps, and little black accessories from Chanel and Saint Laurent. The result? A look that chicly combines the bold with the basic.
The Everyday Essential With a Slouchy Leather Bomber Jacket
Crafted from high-quality stretch jersey, Toteme’s cult-favorite leggings are a perfect pair to pick. For the ultimate styling hack, style them with The Frankie Shop’s slouchy leather bomber jacket in a deep burgundy color, Citizens of Humanity’s silky striped button-up, and a pair of fancy, leopard-print flats from Toteme. Other finishing touches include a sumptuous suede bucket bag from Loewe and Lié Studio’s silver geometric earrings.
The Off-Duty Option With a Festive Fair Isle
Looking to turn up the sartorial dial on your off-duty wardrobe rotation without ever letting go of your favorite pair of black leggings? Wolford’s classic black pair will meet you in the middle with elevated details, like a flattering high-waist fit, heavyweight stretch-jersey material, and a comfortability that only rivals in chicness. Here, wear them with Khaite’s festive Fair Isle crewneck, & Other Stories’s camel wrap coat, and a pair of suede ankle boots from Toteme.
The Sporty Style With a Retro Sneaker
It’s no secret that Nike is a go-to when it comes to athleisure—and these wear-with-everything high-waist, stretch leggings are at the top of our shopping list. Continue the sporty style and wear them with Proenza Schouler’s retro sneakers; and for some much-needed added coverage, layer up in Nour Hammour’s shearling maxi coat and Alex Mill’s chunky turtleneck sweater. It’s a fact: You’ll be the chicest attendee your pilates class has ever seen.
The Flared Find With a Sleek Suede Overshirt
Spanx’s flared black leggings are best worn this fall with Massimo Dutti’s suede button-up shirt, La Ligne’s classic khaki trench coat, and a pair of pointed-toe black booties from Khaite. For a finishing touch that achieves that “I didn’t just come from the gym” look, sling the Row’s ’90s bag in a chic toffee color over your shoulder.
The Elevated Basic With a Corduroy-Trimmed Barn Jacket
Éterne’s ribbed, stretch-jersey leggings are effortlessly cool and almost too easy to style. However, Barbour’s corduroy-trimmed barn jacket and Frame’s cute striped cardi are great places to start. A pair of soft-toe suede loafers from Saint Laurent keep the look feeling fresh, while Gucci’s burgundy shoulder bag and a fringed scarf from Loewe are textural takes not to miss out on.
The High-Street Hero With a ’90s-Inspired Flannel Shirt
No brand crafts an elevated (and affordable!) basic quite like Mango. To prove this theory, find (and shop!) the below black leggings. Styling-wise, keep the minimalist momentum going with Miu Miu’s ’90s-inspired flannel shirt, Carven’s belted faux-shearling coat, and Le Monde Beryl’s corduroy-adorned Mary Janes. Accessories to note include St. Agni’s under $300 black handbag and DMY Studios’s off-white sunnies.
The Luxe Legging With a Cinched-Waist, Workwear-Approved Blazer
There’s no time quite like the present to craft your chicest working wardrobe yet, starting off with these luxurious black leggings from The Row. Yes, in our opinion, a great black legging is office-approved. Styling-wise, layer in The Frankie Shop’s cinched-waist blazer, Cos’s draped blouse, and a pair of working girl pumps from Aeyde. DeMellier’s roomy leather tote and a pair of silver drop earrings from By Pariah are certified arm and ear candies.
