Black leggings are a versatile wardrobe staple found in almost every woman’s closet. Whether you're running errands, heading to the gym or dressing up for a casual outing, black leggings are a must-have. While we lean toward warm, thick leggings in winter, as we transition from spring to summer, finding the best black leggings that are lightweight and breathable becomes essential. We’re exploring the best black leggings for women, showcasing five chic spring outfits with leggings, and revealing who has the best black leggings for everyday wear (ahem, us). 

Why Black Leggings Are Spring and Summer Essentials 

Black leggings are timeless, versatile and perfect for any occasion. For spring and summer, you’ll want leggings made from lightweight, moisture-wicking fabrics to keep you cool and comfortable. Look for options with a high waistband for a comfortable fit, and consider sheer styles for a weightless, cooling feel. 

Our 17-inch and 21-inch Cooling leggings are the ultimate spring and summer staples, combining comfort, functionality and style for the warmer months. Crafted with buttery-soft, body-cooling fabric, these leggings offer a lightweight sensation against the skin — ideal for rising temperatures. The 17-inch length pairs perfectly with midi skirts and dresses, offering a sleek, seamless look while preventing chafing in humid weather. For more coverage, our 21-inch option provides extra length, making it versatile for layering under long, flowy summer outfits.

Both lengths feature a wide, no-roll waistband that stays in place without digging in, ensuring all-day comfort. The moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabric keeps you cool and dry, even on the hottest days, while the four-way stretch allows for unrestricted movement — whether you’re walking, biking or simply enjoying a picnic in the park. Available in two neutral colours (Beige and Black), these leggings are a must-have for anyone seeking practicality and elegance in their spring and summer wardrobe.

5 Spring Outfits with Leggings 

1. Casual Chic: Leggings + Sweater Dress

In the earlier part of spring, when days can still be on the cooler side, pair your favourite black leggings with an oversized knit sweater dress for a cozy, stylish look. Anchor the look with white sneakers and a crossbody bag for a laid-back vibe ideal for brunch or a day of shopping. 

2. Athleisure Vibes: Leggings + T-Shirt + Denim Jacket

For a sporty and trendy outfit, wear your black leggings with a matching sports bra and throw on a denim jacket overtop. Finish the look with chunky sneakers and a baseball cap for an effortlessly cool ensemble. 

3. Spring Florals: Leggings + Flowy Tunic

Embrace the season with a floral-print tunic layered over your black leggings. This outfit is perfect for a garden party or a casual day at the office. Add ankle boots or ballet flats to complete the look. 

4. Layered Look: Leggings + Long Cardigan + Tank Top

Create a layered outfit by pairing your leggings with a fitted tank top and a long, lightweight cardigan. This is ideal for those breezy spring days when you need a little extra coverage while fighting chafe and butt sweat. 

5. Edgy Style: Leggings + Leather Jacket + Graphic Tee

For a bold, edgy look, wear your black leggings with a graphic tee and a leather jacket. Add ankle or combat boots to elevate the outfit for a night out.
