How to Style Flared Leggings to Look Chic and on Trend 2026

Wondering how to style flared leggings in 2026? You’re not alone: As bootcut jeans and retro athleisure continue to reinfiltrate our closets, it was only a matter of time before yoga pants found their way back into our wardrobe rotation. Gone are the flared leggings of the aughts, though. While they still have a nostalgic air, the bottoms are now sleeker than ever—while still being just as comfortable as you remember. They’re not just for lounging around and working out anymore. What if we told you that yes, the pants can actually be worn to the office or during date night? With intentional styling, they’re the perfect in-between piece for on- and off-duty days, allowing you to ditch restrictive denim or heavy trousers altogether. Here are five ways to style flared leggings for every occasion in 2026.

Keep a low profile by pairing your flared leggings with a cozy sweatshirt. Whether you’re running errands or grabbing coffee, this combo is the definition of laid-back and effortless. While hoodies and crewnecks are tried-and-true classics, give your look a subtle switch-up with a trendy quarter-zip—the perfect layering piece that can be dressed up or down. Throw on sleek sunglasses and a pair of on-trend sneakers (approved by Jennifer Lawrence, by the way) to channel your inner off-duty model.
