Of all the hero pieces you rely on, the best black leggings for women are the true MVPs. With a pair of the best black leggings at your disposal, you can create an unlimited array of outfits that will always look polished and put-together – whether you’re at the gym, on a coffee run, bossing the boardroom or out for cocktails. So yes, you could always use another pair (or 10).
So it’s no one’s surprise that black leggings remain an everyday-wear favourite among celebs and influencers – 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, especially paired with classics like T-shirts and white sneakers. 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.
