Split-hem
Split-hem leggings are our favourite way to wear them in 2021.
Flattering and sophisticated, they instantly elevate any outfit.
Grece Graham teams them with a white shirt and Bottega Veneta belt, or take outfit inspiration from Tiffany Hsu and wear all black to tie the look together.

We love wet-look leggings paired with a knitted hoody and chunky boots.
It’s so simple, but still manages to look put together.
Under a coat
Black leggings are so easy to wear with a longline jacket or coat.
Lauren-Nicole proves the look can still look glamorous with this affordable houndstooth coat from New Look.
With a blazer
To smarten a black of simple black leggings up, add an oversized blazer and heels.
There’s nothing complicated about the look, but it just works.
