But now, I'm seeing many celebrities embracing this interesting hybrid of racing and tuxedo stripes on denim, leggings, leather, any material seems game!

The thicker stripes on Blake's pants and her more loose fit can lean toward resembling track pants. However, she manages to dress her pants up with statement jewelry, a dressy blouse, and feminine shoes.
I want to reiterate the key point of nice, fitted pants to go with the tuxedo stripe. I recall being in Korea in 2003 and seeing all of these women wearing actual workout track pants that were baggy with heels. Twas not a good look, in my opinion.
To get your own pair of similar pants, check out Rag & Bone tuxedo jeans and leggings online or at Nordstrom.

These are pants nearly identical to what I had in high school and brought into my college years! I have a thing for slightly masculine style. Epaulettes, suits, hints of military fashion...it's no wonder I am a fan of tuxedo stripes. However, I enjoy the more subtle look chosen by Kristen Stewart here. Black on black, with just a hint of contrasting materials...a leather stripe is delicious!
You can get the Hudson LeeLoo Super Skinny Crop Jeans (black with leather stripe $242) here.
