Hold the Black Leggings—Kendall and Hailey Just Said This Colour Is Cooler


If there’s any subset of fashion people I’ll always turn to for off-duty styling inspiration, it has to be the models. Making sport of looking effortlessly chic, 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? Two models’ endorsements. Stepping out within days of each other in the same trouser trend that entirely elevated their looks, this week I spotted Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber styling strikingly similar pairs of green leggings.

A welcome alternative to the black leggings that clutter 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 and elevated edge, Bieber styled her forest green pair tucked into white socks with white low-top trainers. Wearing hers with a cosy hoody 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 leggings choice stopped her outfit from feeling overly dark and heavy while welcoming in a richer palette that feels fitting as we edge closer to spring’s brighter days.

Taking a similarly low-key approach to her leggings styling, Jenner emerged this week styling her green pair with a fitted wool jacket in a deep grey shade.

An uncommon, but highly chic colour pairing, Jenner’s green and grey outfit was considered and chic without feeling fussy—proving the quiet versatility of the under-the-radar leggings trend.
