The Stylish Legging Trend That Will Characterize Fall 2026
Unlike shoes, handbags, and jewelry, I find satisfaction in my activewear being labeled as "basic." I believe this category thrives on a less-is-more philosophy. Rather than seeking trendy cuts and Instagram-ready styles, I prefer practical shades that conceal sweat stains and technical fabrics that ensure comfort. However, basic doesn’t have to equal boring; I appreciate subtle updates that preserve a piece's functionality while adding a touch of style. This is where Gisele Bündchen comes into play.
Spotted in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Bündchen donned olive-green leggings featuring a lace-up waistband paired with Asics x Emmi Gel-Cumulus 16 Sneakers ($150). The stylish detail at the waist gives them a fashionable edge without compromising practicality. As someone who tends to dress casually, I appreciate when an integrated detail enhances my outfit, sparing me the effort of having to elevate it myself. If you're looking to elevate your leggings, continue scrolling to find the trend that I predict will gain traction this fall.
