I never thought I’d be uttering the words that flared leggings (also known as jazz pants or flared yoga pants), but, indeed, it appears this Y2K trend is officially back in style. Given the fact that the stylish youth has apparently deemed skinny jeans as passe’, it only makes sense of the straight and skinny leggings would become “out” of style as well. Flared, straight-leg, and yes — even boot cut pants are decidedly on-trend right now, and it appears that active and loungewear sphere is following suit.
Frankly, although this new trend took us by surprise, we’re definitely not mad about the flared legging resurgence. This comfortable, versatile, and definitely figure-flattering style is one that we can certainly get behind. Sure, they’re not going to fly at the office under a typical business-casual dress code, but for yoga or pilates class, brunch, and running errands, this silhouette is pretty much perfect.
If you’re wearing them outside of the gym or fitness studio, we suggest pairing them with a cute, vintage-inspired rock t-shirt and sneakers or matched with a long-line kimono for a more boho look. Either way, the styling possibilities are basically endless, and all of them are going to be comfy and style-forward, so, yes it’s safe to say that we’re fully embracing their comeback.
