Plenty of ‘in and out’ lists this year would have you believe that the best black leggings are on the latter side. But we strongly disagree. Of all the hero pieces you rely on (read: jeans, T-shirts, blazers and so on), black leggings for women are the true MVPs.
Whether you're at the gym, on a coffee run, working from home or out shopping and lunching with your besties, they'll keep you comfy while looking polished. And that's all we ever want, right? So, sorry, but they're still very much in and, yes, you could always do with another pair (or several).
It's no one’s surprise that black leggings remain an everyday-wear favourite among celebs and influencers, too, from Jennifer Lopez to Gigi Hadid. Even a scroll through Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's feed will act as evidence (and the sign you need to pair yours with Adidas Sambas and white gym socks). After all, celebs are just like us — they love comfy clothing as much as we do. The only issue? There are too many black leggings at every price point to comb through, especially if you’re shopping online and can’t do a squat test for yourself. So we've done it for you.
