Mob loot

Zombies, husks, zombie villagers‌[Java Edition only], skeletons, strays, bogged, and parched have a small chance to spawn wearing armor, which may include copper leggings. There is a 8.5% chance (9.5% with Looting I, 10.5% with Looting II and 11.5% with Looting III) for the mob to drop the leggings they're wearing upon death. The dropped leggings are usually badly damaged, and may be enchanted with enchantment levels 5-19.

Armor trimming

It is possible to upgrade armor with trims. This requires a smithing template, a copper leggings, and an ingot or crystal (iron ingot, copper ingot, gold ingot, netherite ingot, emerald, redstone dust, lapis lazuli, amethyst shard, nether quartz, diamond, or resin brick).

These trims have no effect on the gameplay or strength of the armor.
