Celebrities Make Black Leggings Look Chic With These 6 Items
I recently showcased a few of the items celebrities have been wearing recently to make skinny jeans look all the chicer. Well, next up I thought I’d focus on another wardrobe staple. Yep, I’m talking about those tried-and-true black leggings. After all, the no-fail stretchy pants are probably a go-to in many wardrobes for lounging, working out, and for wearing in your day-to-day life.
On that note, after scrolling through a smattering of recent celebrity imagery, it became evident that there’s six key items A-listers are wearing with black leggings to make them incredibly stylish. Keep scrolling to check out the items in question. You’ll also find inspired shopping picks as well—including some of the best black leggings if you’re looking to add a fresh pair into your closet.
Cozy Pullover and Uggs
A fuzzy pullover (in shearling, etc.) is comfortable and quite chic with high-waisted leggings. Slip into a pair of Ugg boots, and you're set.
On Kendall Jenner: Good American Ribbed Leggings ($79) and Pullover ($139); By FAR Amber Bag ($565) Ugg Classic Mini II Boots ($150)
Puffer Coat and Flat Boots
This look is impossibly chic with the long puffer, turtleneck, and trendy flat boots with the leggings tucked in.
On Irina Shayk: Burberry tee and coat; Calzedonia leggings; GCDS boots
Maxi Coat
A maxi coat will make any ensemble feel so elevated and polished. While J.Lo went for glossier black leggings here, any pair would work with this sleek vibe. Also noting the flat boots as well.
On Jennifer Lopez: Wolford Colorado Bodysuit ($250); MaxMara Camel Coat ($4090); J.Lo Jennifer Lopez Tannah Booties ($100)
Denim Jacket
Keep it casual and fashionable with a denim jacket on top of a coordinating legging 'fit. Also here for the Uggs again.
On Jasmine Tookes: Ugg boots
