While a healthy portion of fashionistas have started welcoming knee-length capri leggings into their summer wardrobes, call me a traditionalist—I’ve always found long-line styles more appealing. My favorite of them all? In my book, it will always be flared leggings.
Far more elongated than the trending capri silhouette, these leggings sit somewhere between a classic legging and a tailored trouser, offering a more sophisticated feel that makes them surprisingly easy to weave into an everyday wardrobe.
Making a case for the trend this week, Sarah Pidgeon stepped out in Brisbane wearing a pair of flared leggings styled with chunky trainers. Instead of opting for the ballet flats of the season, her footwear choice brought a sense of ease and practicality to the look.

Where capri leggings and ballet flats can visually cut off the entire leg, flared leggings paired with chunky trainers have the opposite effect, creating a long, slim line.
