Well-dressed celebrities have largely moved away from wearing these three types of shoes with leggings.

      As I browsed through images of celebrities in leggings, it struck me that these stars have consistently worn them, despite the internet frequently stating they're making a comeback. What changes is the way people choose to style leggings. At present, celebrities are more inclined to wear them as regular pants rather than solely for Pilates classes or gym workouts. They've also been getting more inventive with their workout styles lately. This fresh approach encourages the rest of us to experiment with leggings as well. One way to do this is by selecting the right shoes to pair with them, and celebrities have been offering plenty of inspiration in this area. Below, I've outlined five specific shoe styles that celebs gravitate towards when wearing leggings, along with three styles they typically avoid. Keep scrolling to see celebrities like Hailey Bieber and Gigi Hadid in their legging ensembles, and check out the shoe trends they are favoring.

      The Skipped Styles: Ankle Boots, Stilettos, Platforms

      Having observed celebrity legging ensembles through my work, I can't recall the last time a celebrity wore leggings with ankle boots, stiletto heels, or dressy platforms. This doesn’t come as a surprise, as these three styles often make leggings appear outdated and don't balance the snug fit of the pants as well as sneakers or knee-high boots do.

      Chunky Knee-High Boots

      Chunky knee-high boots worn with leggings create a trendy, flattering look that celebrities adore during the fall and winter. Knee-high boots are a popular choice to elevate the legging style. Just look at Bella Hadid for proof. (Kendall Jenner is also a fan of this combination.)

      On Bella Hadid: ALO High-Waist Airlift Leggings ($125); Saint Laurent coat and Y Tote Shoulder Bag ($3600); Miu Miu Leather Boots ($2550)

      Slipper Shoes

      If you appreciate the comfort of flip-flops with leggings but are not fond of the look, try slipper shoes—a significant trend for spring. They’re easy-going and stylish, as demonstrated by Laura Harrier.

      Chunky Sneakers

      Chunky sneakers, particularly with crew socks, lend leggings a '90s vibe that celebrities like Kaia Gerber adore. Moreover, it's the coziest shoe style on this list.

      Ballet Flats

      For a more elegant legging outfit, take a cue from Bieber's earlier this year and pair them with ballet flats. Her elastic-strap pair enhanced her outfit's ballet-inspired look.
