Kaia Gerber Just Turned This Once-Dated Trend Into the Coolest New Thing to Wear With Leggings

Leggings may be trendy again, but Kaia Gerber is someone who has been providing legging styling inspiration for years. The quintessential Pilates-loving L.A. girl is constantly being photographed wearing them, whether they're trendy or just considered a basic during that particular season.
The latest Gerber legging sighting came a few days ago in West Hollywood, and this legging outfit stood out to me because of the sweater she paired her black high-waisted pair with: a shrug. After a fairly lengthy hiatus, shrug sweaters have been making a bit of a comeback as of late, and popular brands like Reformation, Aritzia, and ALO are leaning in. Gerber's two-piece legging and sports bra outfit proved that a shrug is the perfect cover-up for providing a bit of warmth without covering up the rest of your cute legging outfit. I predict it's a combination we're going to start seeing a lot more as we move into spring.
