8 Ways Celebs Are Wearing Leggings This Fall
Celebrities, they're just like us! Similar to the fashion crowd, Hollywood's A-list stars and actors are big fans of leggings, the cozy cold-weather trend that promises to deliver both fashion and functionality. Nowadays, running errands and meeting up with friends can feel like just as much of a chore as heading out to a workout class, and leggings are the pièce de résistance to pull any outfit together—casual or otherwise.
Below are some of our favorite celebrities and how they wear their leggings— often paired with must-have It items and hero picks that would make anyone swoon. Happy shopping.
Stirrup Leggings
While this technically isn't an item to wear in combination with leggings, I'd be remiss to not mention the popularity of stirrup leggings this season. Fashion people often wear the style with slingback heels, placing the extra stirrup underneath the sole of the shoe for an elevated editorial feel.
Fur Coat
Luxe, rich-looking fur and faux-fur coats are a go-to among celebrities and fashion people if they're looking to make their everyday black leggings feel a bit more dressy and polished. Plus, a jaw-dropping statement coat will always go so well with the leggings in your activewear drawer.
Zip-Up Hoodie
For a cool girl–inspired relaxation fit, look no further than a simple, sleek zip-up hoodie. While you'd think the item skews more pajama and less Parisian chic, Lori Harvey makes the look feel so wearable with a pair of leather shoes and a designer handbag.
Capri Leggings
Another fall legging style you'd be silly to miss out on is capri leggings. While the cropped silhouette was all the rage earlier this spring and summer, the trend shows no signs of slowing down now thanks to the editorial, '90s feel of these minimalistic black and gray pairs.
Riding Boots
Ideal for late-night layover outfits, pairing leggings with edgy riding boots is an unexpected yet welcome way to wear the cozy basic this fall. Just like Dua Lipa wore them above, opt for a pair of riding boots with leggings to kick them up a notch. Suede shorts and a leather jacket are always a fun texture twist too!
Leather Trench Coat
While Hailey Bieber is best known for wearing her legging outfits to Pilates, the It girl has found a way to pair her tried-and-true staple with fall trends she already has in her closet. Take the star's trendy leather trench coat that she's worn with a matching black bra for a monochromatic, edgy look.
Running Shoes
If anyone can make leggings look chic, it's Sofia Richie Grainge. During a day of running errands, the model slipped on a pair of classic running shoes with her athletic leggings. While you'd think the combination of socks, sneakers, and leggings is a bit too basic, it still works surprisingly well. This New Yorker uniform will be everywhere with leggings in just a few short weeks.
Baseball Cap
The ultimate celeb-approved item to wear with your favorite leggings, a baseball cap for going incognito mode while running errands or going to the gym is the perfect accessory. While Jennifer Lopez's oversize shades are calling my attention, the real star of the show is her charcoal-colored leggings.
