Leggings are meant to be an easy, modern closet staple, but even seasoned dressers often struggle to style them in ways that keep them feeling fresh. The good news is that celebrities in their 20s and 50s are wearing an affordable accessory to elevate legging-and-sneaker outfits—scrunchie socks, also known as slouchy socks. Case in point: Jennifer Lopez's recent ensemble.
This week, J.Lo was spotted in L.A. leaving a workout. For the occasion, she wore a black boatneck tee with high-waisted black leggings and chunky white sneakers. To make her simple legging-and-sneaker outfit feel directional, she added slouchy white socks.

Beyond J.Lo, who wears slouchy socks frequently with her activewear, Bella Hadid is a fan. She's proven their versatility and agelessness, styling them with everything from black leggings and Salomon sneakers to a midi skirt and Nike sneakers and even a sporty jacket, shorts, and Ugg boots.
