Black Leggings Will Never Date, But These 7 Elevated Colours Are Just As Chic

I didn’t go into 2025 with a huge number of New Year’s resolutions, however, putting comfort at the at the forefront of my mind when it comes to fashion is definitely a goal that I plan on being committed to throughout the year. Let’s face it, as much as we all probably love to dip into the occasional risky clothing trend or It Item, the way we feel in our clothes is by far the most important factor when building up our capsule wardrobes. And when it comes to comfort, there’s nothing that beats a great pair of leggings for me. For years, black leggings have been my year-round staple. To me, they’re the ultimate anti-trend item and therefore a style I can count on no matter the season, being incredibly easy to dress up or down whether it be for a day in the office or a casual day in town.

I’ll always love my classic black leggings, but the new year has given me the urge to switch things up. So for 2025, I’m planning to refresh my outfits to achieve that effortlessly chic look without compromising on comfort. The easiest way to do this? Exploring some new legging colours that will slot easily into my existing wardrobe, without taking me out of my neutral-heavy comfort zone. I’ve always opted for classic shades like beige, black and white, so I immediately knew that bold shades such as cherry red or mustard yellow just wouldn’t work for me.

Luckily, after having a browse at my favourite fashion influencers on Instagram, I’ve realised that there are plenty of trending leggings colours that are wearable and will blend in seamlessly with the outfits of those of us with a more minimal sense of style. Think earthy tones, like chocolate browns, charcoal grey and of course, the recently trending burgundy. Adding these colours is the perfect way to make your outfits feel fresh and current for the new year, whilst giving you the comfortability that your usual black leggings would. These seven trendy leggings colours are guaranteed to add interest to your outfits, pairing well with everything from a boxy wool blazer and riding boots to a classic white tee and pared-back loafers.
