PSA: If you plan to wear leggings this winter, they look most stylish in this luxurious color.

      As both a fashion writer and someone who values comfort above all, my relationship with leggings has been quite inconsistent throughout my life. There have been periods when I've relegated them to the back of my closet, considering their highly casual silhouette too laid-back for my everyday style. Yet, inevitably, I find myself reaching for them again—reminded of just how comfortable, sleek, and easy they can appear when styled properly. Currently, I must confess I’ve entered a bit of an anti-legging phase, allowing my jeans and tailored trousers to take center stage. However, I sense this is beginning to shift, especially after spotting a recent photo of Jennifer Lopez that made me rethink my wardrobe’s most debated piece.

      What stood out to me in Jennifer’s outfit wasn’t just how she styled her leggings—it was the hue of the leggings themselves. Rather than the usual black, Lopez chose a rich, deep navy, which she paired tonally with a matching sweater and white sneakers.

      (Image credit: @jlo) Although J.Lo wore hers for a workout, I can easily envision navy leggings paired with tall boots and a long wool coat for a sophisticated winter ensemble. The natural depth of the shade offers the same versatility as black, but adds a bit more character and refinement. Combine navy with lighter blue tones for a subtle, monochromatic look, or team it with creams and greys for a more understated, elegant appearance. Seeing how stylish this color can be, I’m now officially ready to bring leggings back into my winter wardrobe. Below, I’ve curated a selection of the best navy leggings available for purchase.
