Black leggings are great, but fashion-forward girls are aware that these 6 trendier alternatives feel much more current.

      I have nothing against plain black leggings, but if you took a look at my dresser drawer, you'd see that my closet couldn’t accommodate even one more pair without bursting. I already have way too many of them, but recently I've been leaning more towards other styles. Following the fashion of It girls like Elsa Hosk, Hailey Bieber, and Jasmine Tookes has shown me that they too have temporarily set aside their basic black leggings. Instead, they are choosing more modern and stylish legging trends for fall 2025 that enhance even their most casual looks. From Hailey Bieber's flared leggings to Elsa Hosk's heather gray ones, these trends make standard black leggings seem outdated.

      **Flare Leggings**

      When Hailey Bieber sports a casual outfit, it tends to go viral, including her latest look that endorses the emerging flared-legging trend. Rather than wearing sneakers, Bieber combined hers with sleek leather flip-flops and a sporty baseball tee, leading us to believe that this mix of flare leggings and flip-flops will soon be everywhere.

      While leggings typically aren't paired with ballet flats or heels, capri leggings break that rule. Their cropped length, hitting just below the knee, looks stylish whether dressed up or down, making them an essential item in every It-girl’s wardrobe. This trend isn't going away anytime soon, so it’s worth getting in on for fall.
