Hold the Black Leggings—Kendall and Hailey Just Said This Colour Is Much Trendier
If there's any subset of fashion people I'll always turn to for off-duty styling inspiration, it has to be models.
They practically make a sport out of looking effortlessly chic, so when they debut a new stylish take on daily dressing, you know I'll be paying attention. And what's better than one model's endorsement of a new off-duty trend? The endorsement of two models. Stepping out within days of each other in the same legging trend that entirely elevated their looks, Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber wore strikingly similar pairs of green leggings. A welcome alternative to the black leggings that populate so many wardrobes, this emerging trend feels like a fresh deviation that adds interest to a simple look without overcomplicating it.
Giving her green leggings an elevated edge, Bieber styled her forest-toned pair tucked into white socks with white low-top trainers. With a cosy hoodie and an oversized leather jacket, the model put an incognito spin on her style, completing her look with dark sunglasses and a navy cap. Adding a grounding, earthy hue, Bieber's legging colour choice stopped her outfit from feeling overly dark and heavy whilst welcoming in a fresher palette that feels fitting as we edge closer to spring's brighter days.
Taking a similarly low-key approach to her styling, Jenner emerged this week styling her green leggings with a fitted wool jacket in a deep grey shade. An uncommon but highly chic colour pairing, Jenner's green and grey outfit was stylish without feeling fussy—proving the quiet versatility of the under-the-radar leggings trend.
Also being picked up by stylish dressers beyond celebrity circles, it's clear that there's a growing appetite for green leggings. Whilst black leggings are and always will be a staple, I find that this chic alternative makes building an interesting off-duty outfit so much easier. I for one am happy to energise my loungewear collection with this subtle but impactful swap.
