I’ve been sounding the alarm on leggings for a while now. Back in December, I wrote about how chic women were already moving on, especially when heading to the airport. Now, even our red carpet queen, Zendaya, has made the case for pushing them out of the spotlight and to the back of our athleisure closets.
Her first ever co-designed collection with On is centered around the new main characters of casual dressing: parachute pants, drawstring skirts, sporty windbreakers, and high-quality tank tops — not a single legging in sight.
I got my hands on the pieces early, and I’ll be honest: I went in as a skeptic. Celebrity athletic collabs typically have a formula. You know it. I know it. Slap your name on something generic and call it a day. Zendaya apparently didn’t get the memo.
The midi skirt alone changed how I think about getting dressed on a lazy morning. Paired with the ribbed tank and those viral Cloudnova Moon sneakers, it reads elevated without even trying. And when I want to add a little razzle to the sporty piece, it looks equally cool with my kitten heel flip-flops as well. The same goes for the parachute pants. The voluminous drama is versatile and feels sharp and thoughtful in a way that leggings could never. Paired with the anorak, these are the kind of pieces you throw on over everything and suddenly the whole outfit has an effortlessly chic point of view.
No more looking like I might be going to the gym when I’m not. Just effortless sport mode vibes that come Zendaya- (and Law Roach-) approved. Leggings had a good run. This collection is at the center of what comes next.
Like what you see? How about some more R29 goodness, right here?
