There is one closet staple I simply can’t live without: Black leggings. While colorful activewear is fun at times, black leggings are my real go-to because they're reliable, versatile, perfect for year-round wear, and totally camouflage sweat. I could go on and on.
That said, not all black leggings live up to the high standards of WH editors and writers like myself. The perfect pair of black leggings has to check alllll the boxes. They must be squat-proof, supportive yet comfortable, and able to go from workout to brunch. Understandably, that’s a lot to ask from a single piece of clothing, but that's also why I own a few pairs of black leggings.
Jump right to shopping all the WH editor-approved black leggings:
