Black on Black: It’s essential to own a pair of black workout leggings. Black can basically be paired with any colour, and also looks super chic worn with a black top. Black high-waisted leggings can be paired with a plain black cropped top for a sleek look, with a black baseball hat used to completes the stylish yet sporty outfit. Meanwhile, turn to sleek white sneakers for a contrasting effect against your black ensemble.

Pop of Design:. In order to stay trendy and comfortable, try going for a pair of leggings with a subtle design to brighten up your outfit. Since bolder workout leggings can be busy, pair them with a simple, understated sweatshirt or long sleeve top to keep a perfect balance. It’s also smart to throw on a pair of cute running shoes which follow with the color scheme of the leggings. This way, you have a trendy outfit, without making to big of a statement.
