As exciting and stylish as the runway shows have been during Paris Fashion Week, the streets have become a runway of their own. Parisians and fashion visitors have turned every sidewalk into a style statement. The outfits are, as expected, effortlessly stylish, yet the most memorable street style moments this week come from more casual, practical ensembles. As attendees spend long days moving from show to show, comfort remains essential, and black leggings have proven to be the go-to.
Yes, women's leggings—though not the kind you wear for working out. These are sleek and intentional. Instead of pairing them with sneakers, fashion people are styling their black leggings with black knee-high boots. Whether they're classic riding boots, kitten heels, lug-sole boots, or even slouchy and Western-inspired designs, the look is pulled off with genuine Parisian flair, blending elegance with a touch of edge.
Black leggings remain a versatile staple and a foundational element for any outfit, especially when paired with black boots. This allows you to complete the look with a trench coat, oversize blazer, leather bomber jacket, or chunky sweater—really anything. Keep reading to see how insiders are styling black leggings with knee-high black boots during Paris Fashion Week and shop the pieces to re-create their looks.
