Let's be brutally honest, shall we? Whether you consider yourself a fashion expert or not, sometimes, we just want to be comfortable.
Now, I love jeans and silky trousers as much as the next person, but honestly, there's nothing quite like slipping into a pair of leggings, and it just so happens that in autumn 2025, leggings outfits have never been chicer. I know what you're thinking: leggings are many things, but chic? Questionable. But it’s true. Editors, influencers and celebs have proven over the past few years that with the right styling, leggings can look incredibly stylish and even elegant.
Gone are the days when leggings meant skin-tight spandex in bright, neon-fluorescent shades worn by the likes of Jane Fonda and Lisa Rinna during their 1980s VHS-workout-tape eras. Instead, the comfy staple now forms the basis of so many best-dressed outfits.
I find the key to making leggings look polished lies in the hue and silhouette. Recently, high fashion has embraced leggings outfits with full force; from delicate ballet-coded nudes at Ferragamo spring/summer 2025 to maximalist structured cape coats polished with leggings and burgundy boots at Balmain autumn/winter 2025, designers are proving that leggings do have the ability to elevate.
And it’s not just designers pushing leggings further into the spotlight this year. With a variety of styles making their way to the forefront (this was the year of the capri pant, after all), I’ve also spotted a plethora of leggings styles being worn by celebrities, too. From brown leggings on Jennifer Lopez to Barbara Palvin in black capris, these days, leggings outfits are the foundation of every stylish celeb’s capsule wardrobe, no matter the season or event.
So, if you’re sold on leggings and are looking for ways to wear them in 2025 that feel fresh, chic and elegant, scroll to discover my edit of the coolest looks.

7 Outfits With Leggings to Copy in 2025
1. Turtleneck Jumper + Full-Length Leggings + Loafers
Style Notes: With preppy chic trending, why not swap your denim and pleated skirts for a stirrup legging instead? Designed with comfort in mind, leggings will provide you with endless comfort whilst on the go. Finish with a cashmere roll-neck, loafers, white socks and a trendy waist-tied jumper for a look that's every bit as practical as it is chic.
