I know this might sound a little pedantic, but I’m quite particular about certain styling choices—and one detail I can’t help but notice is how often black leggings are automatically paired with white trainers. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a classic combination, but with navy leggings in the mix, there’s a far chicer alternative waiting to be appreciated.
Richer in tone and dimension, navy offers a softer contrast against bright white shoes, creating a more polished pairing that feels fresh while remaining effortless. The deep hue still delivers the same versatility as black but feels less stark against the fresh white and, in my opinion, more refined.
Putting my theory to the test, Jasmine Tookes stepped out in dark navy leggings and a white-and-cream pair of New Balance 327s, proving that combination's supreme chicness. She completed her styling with a fluffy white fleece and a brown Hermès Birkin, toeing the line between relaxed and refined.
As someone due for a leggings refresh myself, I’ve been eyeing the chicest navy pairs to replace my over-worn black ones. If you’re also ready to elevate your off-duty wardrobe, read on for the best navy leggings to invest in now.
