Helping women love what they wear on a budget

How to Wear Flare Leggings

February 15, 2023 by Katie H.

6 outfits with flare leggings

Today I have a trend to try that I’m sure most of my elder millennial friends will be excited about! Flare leggings are back, or as we once called them, yoga pants. A few months ago I shared a post “How to Wear Flares in 2022” and it has become very popular. That’s why I am excited to share how to wear flare leggings in 2023!

I am very familiar with flare leggings. I wore them through most of high school and college. They bring back a lot of memories for me. When I look back on how I wore these trends when I was younger, I don’t think that I was paying much attention to the way to properly wear flare pants. I remember how I use to wear flare leggings under my cheerleading uniform in high school and in college I would bunch them up into my Uggs.

Now that I am older, I am learning from my fashion mistakes of the past. Usually, when trends circle back around they come back with improvements. You don’t style them the same way you did when you were younger. That’s why I always have fun bringing styles from my past back into my wardrobe and learning how to style them now as an adult.

Here’s how to wear flare leggings in 2023!
