There’s a paradox around flared leggings—on the one hand, they’re extremely easy to step into and go about your day, particularly when working from home or running errands. Yet once you attempt to style them with any kind of polish or pizazz, you’re met with the harsh reality: this wardrobe staple is actually quite tricky to wear.
But trust me, your future comfort-seeking self will thank you for figuring it out. Depending on how extreme the flare is, and how much you want it to define the look, focus on getting the proportions right first. If you’re a little self-conscious about the form-fittedness of the top half, an oversized jumper will complete the comfy ensemble. I’d suggest one of the striped variety for the season ahead. Keen to show off your waistline? Don a boxy cropped blouse or tee with your versatile bottoms.
