As per stylists and fashion critics, black has been a leading choice of color that blends in beautifully with pastels or bright hues. Also, black has been able to rule the fashion world for a very long time.
Compared to the leading runway looks at this year’s Milan and New York Fashion Weeks, we came across many prominent fashion industries, such as Dior and Versace, that continued channeling black in their fashion delights.
While dealing with black, it is time to discuss why we have over a dozen pairs of black leggings in our closet. Ranging from various sizes, our wardrobes have been packed with black leggings that we wouldn’t mind styling with a loose top and a cool jacket or a pair of knee-length boots. Today, let’s style black leggings to a hilt and see how creative we can become with our choices.
Before we style our black leggings, let us tell you they come in various stretchable sizes and lengths. Apart from these, black leggings can be either transparent or opaque, but a little skin can still be seen peeking through if the opaque ones are stretched.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some frequently asked questions about styling black leggings. Check them out!
Q. What tops to wear with black leggings?
A. When it comes to styling black leggings, you’ll want to remember that a longer-style shirt is probably your best bet (one that covers at least part of your backside). When it comes to what tops to wear, the sky is nearly the limit.
You can wear tee shirts, tank tops, sweaters, hoodies, crop tops (particularly if you are headed to the gym), blouses, shirt-dresses, and tunics.
Q. What goes with black leggings?
A. Black leggings can be styled casually and semi-formally and go with almost everything. Try your leggings with a hoodie for cute weekend wear, a fuzzy top for a party look (like in outfit #2), a flannel for everyday wear, or a tee shirt for lounging around the house. You can style them with short dresses as well as jumpers.
Q. What to wear with black leggings to work?
A. Leggings are considered a little controversial for work, mostly because of their not-so-conservative nature. They’re also associated with loungewear and athletic wear. So how does one make them work for work? Go for a cute, loose-fitting, and long top. It would have to cover the booty and should hit mid-thigh.
Top it off with a blazer or jacket, which will help create structure since you wear a looser top. Try to go for good coverage leggings (none of those sheer ones!) and choose great heels or boots to really up the style game and keep your look more professional.
Q. Is it OK to wear leggings with a short top?
A. To create a balance, symmetrical look, we recommend a more loose-fitting top and keeping it at least hip-length. A short top and leggings are a very teenage-girl look, so unless you are under 19, we don’t advise it!
