One thing about L.A. girls is that they love wearing leggings and sneakers. Pilates and hiking are part of daily life, but you needn't be heading to the studio or the trails to embrace the aforementioned comfortable outfit combination when in Los Angeles. Bella Hadid is a testament to that, as she was spotted in L.A. this week running errands and wearing, you guessed it, leggings and sneakers. With her black leggings, she opted for a tank and long windbreaker, white crew socks, and the anti-trend sneakers the L.A. It-girl crowd loves.

The shoes in question are black athletic Nike sneakers. On this occasion, Hadid wore the Nike Shox TL sneakers (which are currently on sale for $133), but any of Nike's trove of sporty black sneakers will do. Other L.A. It girls who frequently wear the leggings-and-black-Nike-sneakers combination are Dakota Johnson (the Nike V2K Run sneakers) and Kaia Gerber (the Nike Free Metcon 6 Workout sneakers). You gotta love a celeb-approved sneaker style you can actually work out in.
