Top Leggings Trends for 2026

Leggings have come a long way. Once just a workout essential, they’re now a legit fashion staple. And while track pants tried to come for them last year (forgive, but never forget), we think both can live in our closets together, peacefully with just a few trendy upgrades! Here are the legging trends to try in 2026:

1. Boot Cut Leggings:

If denim’s relaxed, retro flares made a comeback, leggings aren’t far behind. Boot cut leggings lengthen the leg, balance proportions, and shift leggings from athleisure basics to street-style favorites.

2. Stirrup Leggings:

Stirrup leggings are making a stylish comeback, marrying practicality with a sleek fashion edge. Unlike traditional leggings, a band under the foot keeps the fabric in place and creates an elongated silhouette.

3. Split-Hem Leggings:

Split-hem leggings are one of 2026’s most stylish hybrids — part flare, part classic legging. They widen slightly at the ankle with a subtle split, letting you style them uniquely depending on mood and footwear.

4. Metallic Leggings

Metallic leggings are the trend with attitude — bold, futuristic, and perfect for day-to-night transitions. Whether it’s glossy silvers, muted gold tones, or shimmering iridescent finishes on classic black, these leggings are all about making an entrance.
