Put a Hold On Your Black Leggings—This Fresh Legging Color Trend Is the One You'll See Everywhere This Summer
While the internet continues to speculate about rumored tension between Justin and Hailey Bieber, the beauty mogul has been living her best life in NYC. From dinner outings with friends to early morning workouts, her East Coast wardrobe has been noteworthy. Case in point? A pair of unexpected polka-dot capri leggings that the Who What Wear editorial team can't stop talking about. But the look that stopped me in my tracks? Her casual ensemble for her time at the Alo Yoga store on Fifth Avenue.
Instead of reaching for classic black leggings, Bieber chose a fresh alternative: light gray leggings. She styled the soft-hued pair with a white graphic tee and matching New Balance sneakers, offering a minimal yet directional take on off-duty dressing.

I'm not saying black leggings are out, but if you want to lighten things up, gray offers a compelling alternative. The shade is less stark than white and softer than black, making it the perfect neutral base to pair with, of course, black and white, but also navy, green, and red.
The best part? There’s no shortage of options. Brands like Alo Yoga, Lululemon, Sweaty Betty, and more offer elevated gray leggings this season, each channeling the stylish appeal of Hailey’s. With that said, keep scrolling to shop the best gray leggings.
