Sports socks over leggings trend - I have questions!

65 replies

CroccyWoccy · 14/01/2024 16:36

Everyone seems to be wearing sports socks pulled up over gym leggings now.

-Is this just an athileisure ccasual trend or are people who actually go to the gym wearing socks pulled up over their leggings?

-I generally see this people wearing white trainers and white socks over black/dark leggings. Can you style this with other coloured trainers and socks? What does/doesn't work?

Should I just stick to my short trainer socks and ignore this trend or is it here to stay?

I've seen it more in my gym since coming back after New Year along with their matching crop top and leggings so obviously not because they're cold. Whilst I'm huddled up in my hoodie.

I’ve been doing this for ages. I joke with DH that I started the trend 😂. I also like wearing fluffy socks with thick autumn coloured sports leggings that don’t look sporty if that makes sense, flat brown boots and a snuggly jumper.

We need a picture of this please!

I feel like I need to get on board with this! I'm 40 and still wearing skinny jeans and docs. Leggings with socks and trainers sound bliss. Can someone point me in the right direction please?
What coats are we wearing? Jumpers? I've lost 4 stone over the last year and I'm still trying to figure out what to wear.

Oversized hoodies and sweaters are my go to.

Normally worn with my big, black parka, sometimes I mix it up with my cream trench.
Also a large denim jacket come spring

I live in this at the minute 🫣
I have a rotation of white sports socks with various coloured logos, but yes it only looks ok with my two pairs of white New Balance 530s.
It's not quite right with my On running trainers that are black and white (mainly black) but I couldn't work out why at first...

I do wear this look for the gym sometimes, only for strength workouts.
I get so hot exercising that I need less layers really

Yeah my gym trainers are black, I don’t think it works? Maybe with black socks?

Cosy when I'm going to the gym. Trusty Bridgedale socks over my leggings. Change into little socks when I get there.

I for one have enjoyed not having cold ankles for the first time in 20 odd years. However I look like a bit of a knob.

Been worn in my gym for several years now, amongst all ages.
Also for athleisure amongst school run mums.

That looks great, are they cotton leggings or gym type?

Gym type but they don’t look too sporty, they’re from Fabletics (you can sign up, get the 2 for £20 or whatever leggings and then cancel the subscription 😂).
