If Looking Chic Is Your Goal, Swap Your Black Leggings for This Autumnal Hue
I'll always have space in my wardrobe for black leggings, but right now, I'm much more inclined towards this shade.


My September wardrobe feels like a tale of two moods. On one hand, there’s the back-to-school pull towards a polished, tailored silhouette.
On the other hand, the craving for cosiness that autumn’s arrival always brings. The truth is, I don’t want to choose, and why should I? There’s plenty of room for both in my rotation. With tailoring dominating the conversation lately, I’ve been itching to give my off-duty wardrobe some extra love, and in the rising burgundy leggings trend, I’ve found just the place to start.
As we move away from summer’s fiery reds into autumn’s deeper, richer tones, burgundy feels like the most natural progression. More intriguing than your go-to black, yet just as easy to style, these leggings offer a fresh take on casual dressing. They sing when worn with tonal pairings; think matching sports bras or coordinating knits, and look equally chic alongside jewel tones or softened with lighter shades like cream, blush or crisp white.
With all the comfort of your loungewear staples, elevated by the season’s most sophisticated hue, burgundy leggings might just be the smartest buy you’ll make this autumn.
Below, I’ve curated an edit of the best pairs to shop now.
