Kendall Just Gave Her Opinion—If You're Planning to Wear Leggings This Season, Combine Them With This Timeless Sneaker.

      To make leggings look truly chic, my top suggestion is to avoid ballet flats and stick with the classic leggings outfit formula that consistently works. For an effortlessly stylish off-duty appearance, black high-waisted leggings are best when combined with sleek black trainers. While ballet flats—though stylish—can visually shorten the leg, black trainers create an elongated silhouette. Their cushioned soles provide a bit of added height, and the uniform color scheme creates a seamless line, making the overall look appear longer, leaner, and more refined.

      Recently, I spotted Kendall Jenner showcasing this timeless combination. She began with the ideal foundation: a pair of black high-waisted leggings, pairing them with tall black socks and a set of Adidas Adizero Dropset Pro Training Shoes (£130). To complete her outfit, Kendall added oversized sunglasses, wired headphones that framed her face, and a sleek black leather bag swinging from her shoulder, enhancing the cool vibe.

      Kendall’s trainers are available for purchase now, but her navy top and sleek leggings have yet to be released—and I suspect they won't last long once they hit the shelves. Instead of attempting to dress leggings up as something they're not, embrace their sporty nature and style them with a classic pair of black trainers. Interested?
