Flared Leggings: The Comeback Trend Explained
Flared leggings have made a big return, blending the comfort of activewear with a retro, leg-lengthening silhouette. They're comfortable, flattering and surprisingly versatile.
Why they flatter
Fitted through the hips and thighs, they flare from the knee, balancing proportions and making legs look longer.
Where to wear them
Perfect for yoga, Pilates, walks and travel days. Less suited to running or heavy lifting.
How to style
Pair with a fitted crop or bodysuit and chunky trainers. A cropped jacket or oversized hoodie adds an off-duty touch.
Choose the right length
They should graze the floor in trainers without dragging.
A versatile staple
In black or neutral shades, flared leggings work almost everywhere.
