My years of covering Jennifer Lopez‘s chic off-duty style have led to a clear observation: when she takes a break from wide-leg or baggy jeans, she turns to leggings—but not standard black ones. She favors color. After frequently opting for navy or brown pairs last year, J.Lo has embraced a new shade for 2026: burgundy.
Last week, J.Lo posted several selfies to Instagram, captioned, “Keep it simple…” The images featured a burgundy three-piece activewear ensemble: a long-sleeve shirt, sports bra, and high-waisted leggings. Completing the look, she chose her signature white Nike sneakers.

Unsurprisingly, J.Lo knew what she was doing when choosing burgundy leggings. This deep, luxurious shade is a top color trend for winter and is expected to remain strong through spring and summer. While the shade is elegant on its own, as J.Lo demonstrates, it achieves peak 2026 style when paired unexpectedly with contrasting hues like icy blue or bubblegum pink. For those who typically favor black, incorporating this bold color into activewear is a simple way to experiment with the trend without fully committing to it in everyday outfits.
