21 Non-Boring Leggings I 100% Don't Need But 100% Still Want
Alongside black ankle boots, white T-shirts, jeans, tiny purses, necklaces, and more, leggings are part of a rather lengthy list of things I can confidently say I absolutely do not need any more of in my life. In fact, I likely have too many pairs for someone who barely works out once a week, but, much like the rest of the items that make up the aforementioned list, that doesn’t mean I’ll stop buying them anytime soon.
After all, nothing inspires a weekend workout like the promise of an actually cute athletic outfit, amirite?! And, as I like to tell myself, leggings serve many purposes. You can lounge in them, travel in them, brunch in them, and then, of course, there's the whole exercise thing. Which unnecessary-but-necessary leggings to I have my eyes on right now? Just keep scrolling to see and shop all the unique pairs.
As much as I'm into Hailey's all-black pair (available here), I like the inclusion of white here for the season ahead.
There are definitely more out-there styles in this collection, but for some reason, these are just my favorite.
The matching scallop-edge sports bra is pretty much mandatory here.
Also available in more sizes.
Definitely on trend for spring.

Upon joining, she was a senior about to graduate from business school at USC. Fast-forward to 2025, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was just starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content and her Trust Me—Buy This newsletter. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to neutral, classic pieces but will always make an exception for something colorful or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a party is dressing up for one. On her downtime, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
