This Is the Elevated Black-Legging Outfit That'll Be All Over NYC for the Next 3 Months
If you trust Bella Hadid's taste and are on the hunt for elevated, comfortable legging outfits to wear for the remainder of winter, you'll be pleased to know that she just stepped out in a very chic and warm black-legging outfit in NYC. When I think of NYC, I don't really think of leggings, but since they're trendy again and winter is prime legging time, I predict that New Yorkers are going to be embracing them more and more in 2025.
Getting back to the specific outfit that inspired me to write about New Yorkers and leggings, Hadid wore her black leggings (the most popular legging color in NYC, naturally) with a cropped black puffer jacket over a fitted black top and flat black knee-high boots with snow-friendly soles. It's worth noting that Kendall Jenner also just wore leggings and flat knee-high boots while in Aspen.
No matter where you live, if you're looking for fresh legging outfits that are elevated and get the proportions right—something tight on the bottom paired with something more voluminous on top—Hadid's look is worth copying. With that, keep scrolling to see it for yourself and shop the pieces it's composed of.
On Bella Hadid: Guest in Residence Black & Blue Quilted Reversible Puffer Jacket ($895); DMY Studios Olsen Sunglasses ($255)
