Ah, leggings. Although somewhat of a divisive topic, if the last few years have taught us anything, it’s that their versatility and comfort are undeniable, deeming them an essential building block of both indoor and outdoor wardrobes. And even as fashion becomes fun again (and, you know, we have places and events to wear said fun fashion), it’s clear that they’ve earned a permanent place in our hearts and our closets. Still, sometimes a classic legging can feel a little, well, boring…cue the flared legging, which gives the classic style a chic upgrade.
