Alongside black ankle boots, white T-shirts, jeans, tiny purses, necklaces, and more, leggings are part of a rather lengthy list of things I can confidently say I absolutely do not need any more of in my life. In fact, I likely have too many pairs for someone who barely works out once a week, but, much like the rest of the items that make up the aforementioned list, that doesn’t mean I’ll stop buying them anytime soon.

After all, nothing inspires a weekend workout like the promise of an actually cute athletic outfit, amirite?! And, as I like to tell myself, leggings serve many purposes. You can lounge in them, travel in them, brunch in them, and then, of course, there's the whole exercise thing. Which unnecessary-but-necessary leggings to I have my eyes on right now? Just keep scrolling to see and shop all the unique pairs.

Editor-at-Large

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
