Let's be brutally honest, shall we? Whether you consider yourself a fashion expert or not, sometimes, we just want to be comfortable.
Now, I love jeans and silky trousers as much as the next person, but honestly, there's nothing quite like slipping into a pair of leggings, and it just so happens that in autumn 2025, leggings outfits have never been chicer. I know what you're thinking: leggings are many things, but chic? Questionable. But it’s true. Editors, influencers and celebs have proven over the past few years that with the right styling, leggings can look incredibly stylish and even elegant.
Gone are the days when leggings meant skin-tight spandex in bright, neon-fluorescent shades worn by the likes of Jane Fonda and Lisa Rinna during their 1980s VHS-workout-tape eras. Instead, the comfy staple now forms the basis of so many best-dressed outfits.
I find the key to making leggings look polished lies in the hue and silhouette. Recently, high fashion has embraced leggings outfits with full force; from delicate ballet-coded nudes at Ferragamo spring/summer 2025 to maximalist structured cape coats polished with leggings and burgundy boots at Balmain autumn/winter 2025, designers are proving that leggings do have the ability to elevate.
And it’s not just designers pushing leggings further into the spotlight this year. With a variety of styles making their way to the forefront (this was the year of the capri pant, after all), I’ve also spotted a plethora of leggings styles being worn by celebrities, too. From brown leggings on Jennifer Lopez to Barbara Palvin in black capris, these days, leggings outfits are the foundation of every stylish celeb’s capsule wardrobe, no matter the season or event.
So, if you’re sold on leggings and are looking for ways to wear them in 2025 that feel fresh, chic and elegant, scroll to discover my edit of the coolest looks.

7 Outfits With Leggings to Copy in 2025
1. Turtleneck Jumper + Full-Length Leggings + Loafers
Style Notes: With preppy chic trending, why not swap your denim and pleated skirts for a stirrup legging instead? Designed with comfort in mind, leggings will provide you with endless comfort whilst on the go. Finish with a cashmere roll-neck, loafers, white socks and a trendy waist-tied jumper for a look that's every bit as practical as it is chic.
Shop the Look:
COS's cashmere jumpers are a favourite of Who What Wear UK editors.

Perfect for days when the sun peeks through those clouds.
2. Funnel-Neck Jacket + Capri Leggings + Sneakerinas
Style Notes: Capri-legging outfits have been trending for some time thanks to their laid-back, elevated edge. Beloved by L.A. girls like Kendall Jenner, add a funnel-neck jacket and Adidas Taekwondo Mei trainers for casual cool.
Shop the Look:
A classic.
Having recently tried this on, and with funnel-neck jackets huge for A/W 25, I have a feeling this is going to sell out quickly!

Sneakerinas made my list of autumn 2025's best trainers for a reason!
I’ve seen so many fashion people carrying the Le City of late.

A little gold hoop completes any look.
3. Shearling-Trimmed Jacket + Leggings + Snake-Print Boots
Style Notes: When the weather cools and practical layers take over, leggings will be your best friend. The perfect base layer, leggings allow you to be as maximalist as you want with your coat without diverting attention.
Shop the Look:
Coming in seven shades, you’re sure to find one that pairs perfectly with your autumn capsule wardrobe.
Buttery-soft and with infinite stretch, Lululemon leggings are my go-to for everything from dog walking to reformer pilates.
So many of my favourite fashion people pull out a shearling-trimmed coat as soon as it begins to chill.
Chocolate brown is one of my favourite expensive-looking shoe colours.
Big enough to hold all your essentials but still super-refined, this bag will never date.
The bigger and bolder, the better.
Simple yet effective, these are the perfect everyday hoops.
4. Barn Jacket + Leggings + Riding Boots
Style Notes: Take your leggings down a less obvious path by playing with bold colours and textured trims. The ultimate blank canvas, leggings (especially black) allow you to experiment with unexpected styling, like this pretty baby-blue lace-trimmed cami with a utilitarian light-brown jacket.
Shop the Look:
I'm yet to see a lace-hem top I don't love.
With a subtle flare, these will take you from morning pilates to brunch with ease.
These riding boots sold out within seconds last year, so If you like them, I'd be quick!

5. Trench Coat + Capri Leggings + Striped Shirt
Style Notes: On days when the weather proves unpredictable, capri leggings and a trench coat will be your best friend. The trench protects from the elements, and the leggings keep you feeling fresh when the weather clears up.
Shop the Look:
A striped shirt will forever be a capsule-wardrobe staple.
This would look just as good with leggings as it would with a pair of jeans.
In a fine cotton-knit material, these capris are perfect for weekend activities like drinks with the girls and a Sunday roast.
If you’re after a large, expensive-looking woven bag, look no further.
The perfect way to delve into the chunky bracelet trend.
Swap your thong sandals for these chic T-bar kitten heels instead.
My favourite place to shop for homeware, Anna + Nina pendants have a cute, kitschy charm to them.
6. Loose Shirt + Capri Leggings + Mules
Style Notes: Okay, so with a loose shirt is a more obvious way to wear leggings, but if you want your outfit to feel fresh, it's a tried-and-tested pairing. Channel Sofia Boman (pictured above) and finish with a trending suede bag and leather mules.
Shop the Look:
You can never go wrong with a plain white shirt.

Shop the Look:
Tis' the season for base layers.
I love a bit of undone polish, like when you can see a white tee layered underneath a thin-knit jumper.
No VPLs here with these seamless leggings.
