No workout wardrobe is complete without a great pair of leggings [1]. No matter what activity you love doing, be it a run outside or a sweaty hot yoga session, you belong in cute leggings. We don't ask for all that much when it comes to our leggings — we just want them to be flattering and functional. But, that can sometimes prove to be a more difficult ask than it should be, which is where we come in.
If the thought of colour in your workout wardrobe is blasphemous, you've come to the right place. Black leggings [2] are perhaps the foundation of our athleisure look, and it's easy to see why; they go with everything, and always look sleek and polished. With all the different iterations available, finding the right pair can feel like an impossible task. But no more — these are our 24 favourite black leggings. [3] Now, if you'll excuse us, we're going to the gym.
