The Controversial Legging Trend Celebrities Are Endorsing
This year hasn't been without its share of legging microtrends, treggings and stirrups included. We're on constant high alert for the next big thing in the leggings arena, given their acute popularity as of late. While many leggings trends come via street style or retailers, the latest is one that we've noticed celebrities have been wearing on repeat—white leggings. If you're balking right now, we get it. White leggings are unforgiving, to say the least. But celebrities like Miranda Kerr, Alessandra Ambrosio, Selena Gomez, and Hailey Baldwin have been swapping their typical black leggings out for fresh white pairs, much like fashion girls have been swapping black ankle boots out for white ones.
White leggings are sure to be a polarizing trend, as flattering isn't the first thing that comes to mind when you think of them, but their unexpectedness is noteworthy, and celeb-favorite athleisure brand Alo has recently released many of its most popular (and most flattering) styles in snowy white.
