After reading the headline of this story, you might guess that I'm talking about linen or silk trousers, as those are the styles fashion people typically gravitate toward during summer. However, the trend I'm referring to offers something more unexpected: a sleek, elevated alternative to traditional leggings that feels totally right for 2025. The style in question? Pedal pusher(or capri) leggings.
Pedal pusher leggings have been all over the streets in the past few weeks, but recently, they've been endorsed by Zoë Kravitz, who was spotted sporting a pair in NYC. She kept it casual yet cool in black leggings, styling them with an oversize T-shirt, a sporty jacket, a bucket hat, and leather flats.
For those unfamiliar, pedal pushers are a style of cropped pants that typically hits just below the knee. Modern pedal pushers come in various styles, including denim, tailored fabrics, and now leggings, which is a more athletic and streamlined take on the silhouette. Whether you're heading out for a walk with friends or squeezing in a workout, pedal pusher leggings offer a polished look that still feels effortless. Their cropped length, body-skimming fit, and sporty-meets-chic vibe make them the perfect fusion of comfort and trendiness. Inspired to add a pair to your wardrobe?
