The Chic Legging Trend That Will Definitely Carry Into 2026 |Best Knockoff Luxury Clothing

published 21 August 2025

Confession: Even though I write about fashion trends on a daily basis, I don't actually wear a lot of things that can be classified as trendy. Instead, I rely on tried-and-true wardrobe basics. Isn't it a lot easier to buy something and not have to worry about it going out of style in two seconds? If you agree, this story is for you. Inspired by White Lotus star Michelle Monaghan's most recent outfit, today I'm talking about a piece of clothing that is simultaneously trendy and timeless. The best of both worlds!

Monaghan was photographed in New York City this week wearing ALO Yoga Airlift High-Waist Suit Up Leggings ($138). Notice the white side stripes? This detail, contrasted with an otherwise all-black color palette, immediately takes her leggings from simple to superb. Leggings with contrasting side stripes look sporty, stylish, and current, yet they will arguably never look dated. Now that's the kind of trend I can get behind. Scroll down to see Michelle Monaghan's newest outfit and shop the trend for yourself.
