If you plan to wear leggings this autumn, choose this shade and pair them with these shoes.
When it comes to styling leggings, I've realized that the key to transitioning from a gym look to a city-chic outfit lies in just a few clever changes: the color of the leggings and the shoes you choose. Take inspiration from Elsa Hosk's recent appearance. Rather than opting for standard black leggings and white sneakers, she selected a pair in chocolate brown and topped them off with soft brown suede trainers.
There’s an inherently luxurious vibe to the decadent hue of chocolate. Unlike black, which often fades into the background of an ensemble, rich cocoa shades add depth, warmth, and a hint of sophistication. When you incorporate suede, this season’s most elegant sneaker update, the casual look suddenly feels polished. In contrast to white trainers—which have become somewhat clichéd following a season of vibrant and suede alternatives—light brown suede pairs bring cozy comfort with a refined twist. Their darker color makes them less likely to show scuffs, and the textured richness elevates them beyond what white leather or fabric can offer. Hosk rounded out her outfit with a light brown trench and a coordinating leather bag, accessorizing in a way that made her leggings and sneakers appear notably deliberate. Keep scrolling to discover the finest brown leggings and suede trainers for recreating this outfit.
