Not Plain Black—6 Cooler Legging Trends Ruling Fall 2025

Not Plain Black—6 Cooler Legging Trends Ruling Fall 2025


No hate to plain black leggings, but if you saw the state of my dresser drawer you’d understand that my closet can’t possibly squeeze even one more pair without breaking. I own far too many of them, but recently it’s other variants I’ve been gravitating towards instead. As someone who stalks the style of It girls like Elsa Hosk, Hailey Bieber, and Jasmine Tookes, I’ve noticed they, too, have set aside their basic black leggings of late.

What they’re opting for instead are fresher and cooler fall 2025 legging trends that make even their most casual outfits feel so “now”. From Hailey Bieber‘s flared leggings to Elsa Hosk‘s heather grey pair, these fall 2025 legging trends make plain black pairs look downright dated.

When Hailey Bieber wears a casual outfit, it tends to take off and go viral and such is the case with her latest look: a co-sign of the flared legging trend that’s bubbling up right now. Instead of sneakers, though, Bieber paired hers with sleek leather flip-flops and a sporty baseball tee and we anticipate that the specific combination of flare leggings and flip-flops will soon be everywhere.

If you’re looking for a simple way to upgrade your standard legging looks this season, swap your plain black pair for one in a chocolate brown hue. Style it the same way—chunky socks and athletic sneakers are our favorite pairing—and watch as your everyday outfits look so much more elevated.

Capri Leggings

While normally leggings are not the item to pair with ballet flats or heels, Capri leggings are the one exception. The cropped length that hits just below the knee looks chic dressed up or down, making it a key staple in It-girl wardrobes everywhere. It’s showing no signs of slowing down, so this is not the trend to miss out on for fall.

If a fashion person is wearing a pair of leggings with heels, there’s a 90% chance that they’re stirrup leggings. It’s a small detail but one that looks so chic with a pair of glove pumps and a standout jacket or blazer.
