Skip the jeans—this cut and color of leggings always look better with trainers.

Skip the jeans—this cut and color of leggings always look better with trainers.

      I understand that this might seem like a daring opinion, but the classic combination of jeans and trainers has never really appealed to me. There's just something about the way denim gathers around a chunky sole that, at least on me, never appears polished. In contrast, black leggings provide a cleaner, more streamlined look that showcases trainers at their sleekest. Making my point, Jennifer Lopez was seen this week in this timeless style. She chose high-waisted black leggings that accentuated her shape from hip to ankle, pairing them with a tight-fitting top made of matching stretchy material. To add a touch of glamour, she accessorized with a monogrammed Dior Groove bag, adding a touch of subtle luxury, while oversized aviator sunglasses complemented her sleek ponytail.

      Where jeans could have made the outfit more casual or even clunky, JLo’s leggings elevated it, giving her trainers a sharper, more intentional base. Coupled with the comfort factor, it's a combination that's difficult to dispute. If you need more persuasion, consider this your sign. Motivated by J.Lo's recent appearance, browse through my selection of the best leggings and trainers to wear now below.
