Step Away From the Black Leggings—This Is the Low-Key Legging Color Trend You'll See Everywhere This Summer

If you hate wearing black leggings in the summer (which I get—trust me) but still need to wear them for Pilates and such, there are other trend-forward options, and legging expert Jennifer Lopez just found the perfect swap for your black ones. While entering a studio in L.A. this week, Lopez was spotted wearing one of her typical well-accessorized leggings-and-sneakers outfits, and the low-key color of her leggings instantly caught my attention.
I'm honestly very picky about leggings and kind of hate most colored ones, but the trend Lopez wore has me intrigued because they're just as neutral and versatile as black ones. The legging color in question is brown, which makes perfect sense, as the hue continues to be one of the top trends of 2025. Lopez's leggings are a chic sienna brown, but I've also seen tons of chocolate-brown leggings on the market recently. I don't know about you, but I'm now inspired to purchase wearing nothing but black leggings for, well, years. Keep scrolling to join me.
