Black Is Classic, But J.Lo’s Legging Color Is the Secret to Looking Rich at Pilates This Winter

November 24, 2025 / Swedan Margen /

I don’t know if anyone else feels the same, but whenever I wear chic activewear to work out, I notice a boost in my energy, motivation, and overall confidence. While the entire look matters, the leggings I choose can make or break my outfit, especially if they’re uncomfortable, unflattering, or just not what I’m feeling that day. One legging trend I’ve been reaching for a lot lately, because it makes me feel elegant and put together, is navy blue leggings, and I’m not alone—Jennifer Lopez just wore a pair.

Over the weekend, J.Lo posted a picture on Instagram with the caption, “Can’t stop the J Glow.” In the image, she wore shiny navy leggings from ALO, paired with a white long-sleeve shirt, white calf-length ankle socks, white Nike sneakers, and a matching navy baseball cap with a “J” on it. True to J.Lo’s style, she held a bedazzled water bottle in her hand.

Yes, black leggings are classic, but navy ones appear more luxurious. They’re not as stark as black; instead, they are soft, have depth, and more character. In my opinion, after black, navy leggings are the most versatile shade you can wear. While they’re foolproof worn with other navy separates, they also pair well with a variety of colors, such as brown, white, cream, grey, red, and yellow. If you need more reason to adopt the navy legging trend, designers like Bottega Veneta, Alaïa, and Jil Sander have been embracing this hue, showcasing it in many of their recent runway collections.
