If You're Going to Wear This Controversial Legging Color Trend, This Is the Sneaker Color to Wear With It
Shop the chic celeb-approved combination.
As someone whose legging collection consists of 95% black leggings, I’m not a huge fan of any legging colors that are far from black, but if I am going to try something on the opposite end of the color spectrum, I’m going to do so with black sneakers—just like Ana de Armas recently did.
The light legging color de Armas opted for while heading to a gym in L.A. last week was pale gray. Generally, anything light in color and made primarily of spandex can be tricky. Hence I usually avoid it. We’re also heading into winter, so if I were to wear leggings in a similar near-white hue, I’d pair them with black sneakers as de Armas did to make them more seasonally appropriate and ground them a bit.
If you're team light-colored leggings, controversial as they may be, or are simply bored with black ones, keep scrolling to shop the celeb-approved combination of pale leggings and black sneakers.
