Between the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025, the trend of styling leggings to look more elegant has surged. Fashion enthusiasts from L.A. to London are increasingly pairing leggings with elevated sweaters, particularly V-neck styles, instead of the traditional sweatshirt. Kaia Gerber is a prime example of this chic transition.
During a recent outing in L.A., Gerber epitomized the allure of this ensemble, showcasing her leggings alongside an oversize V-neck sweater. To finish off her look, she opted for a casual baseball cap, trendy chunky sneakers, simple crew socks, and a sleek leather shoulder bag.

The marriage of a V-neck sweater with leggings creates an effortlessly sophisticated outfit that redefines casual wear. Unlike the more laid-back and athletic feel of traditional sweatshirts, a V-neck sweater injects a touch of refinement and elegance into the ensemble. Its beautifully cut neckline frames the face while the soft fabric gracefully drapes over the body, creating a streamlined and polished look. Whether one opts for a relaxed or tailored fit, this knitwear choice strikes the perfect balance between comfort and versatility when paired with leggings. It's ideal for Pilates, brunch, or errands around town.
