It's Official: This Overlooked Leggings Trend Is Coming for Your Black Pairs
From models to celebs and the street style set—capri leggings seems to be everyone's trousers of choice lately.


I honestly can't remember the last time I reached for any other legging style than basic ankle-length leggings, which are usually black. Sometimes, I'll get crazy and wear a pair of burgundy or navy leggings, but that's the extent of my adventurousness. I don't think I'm alone in this, as I go to Pilates class four times a week and see a lot of full-length black leggings. Elsa Hosk, however, is ready to shake things up.
Hosk, who never misses when it comes to trends, just took to Instagram to show off the new ALO Sunset Sneakers that I own and highly recommend. The other thing that stood out to me in her series of photos was her light-grey capri leggings, which were also by ALO. Capri leggings, admittedly, haven't been on my radar in years, but given how popular capri pants have been for the majority of 2025, I'm not surprised that the sportier legging version is gaining major traction among the fashion crowd.
Scroll on to shop Hosk's exact leggings (and sneakers, of course) along with other capri leggings I highly recommend considering.
