There are very few pieces in my wardrobe that I consider genuine forever staples, the kind that perfectly balance style, versatility, and comfort. And although I adore my midi poplin skirts and would never, ever get rid of my classic jeans, the truth is that on a typical day, you’re most likely to find me in my black leggings. They can be dressed down on spring days with ballet flats and a tank top, or up for an evening out with slingbacks and a fancy blouse. But with the goal of adding interest to my spring outfits in mind, I decided to go on the hunt for new leggings colour trends to try in 2026.
Now, I initially thought this would be rather difficult. I practically live in black all year round, and straying away from this and into bold hues felt too out of my comfort zone. But the truth is that legging colour trends set to dominate in 2026 feel wearable, remain just as versatile as black, all while still injecting the colour I want to make my outfits feel more elevated this season. Think of expensive-looking, dark cherry hues that will add a touch of warmth to your outfits, or elegant midnight blue shades that can be styled just as easily as black.
Below, I’ve rounded up the five legging colour trends that will be everywhere in 2026. Keep scrolling to see and shop the trends.
5 Legging Colour Trends to Try in 2026
1. Midnight
Style Notes: Arguably the closest shade to black, midnight blue is the perfect legging colour to try if you want stray away from neutrals without feeling too out there. It’s elegant, versatile and will pair well with minimalist and bold colours alike. I personally plan on recreating the outfit above and styling mine with a white cropped jacket and black knee-high boots for evenings out.
