These are the best flare leggings to buy if TikTok convinced you that your regular leggings aren’t cool anymore
Hey, millennials — don’t be alarmed but flare leggings are back. Back in the day, you may have called them yoga pants, but who’s really wearing these to work out? Maybe some people on TikTok are, but the majority are wearing them to run errands and lounge around with friends. You can take a look below at some of the best flare leggings to buy if you feel compelled to make the swap.
Personally, I’m not upset about flares making a comeback — they’re more flattering than standard leggings because they can help you achieve an hourglass shape. Plus, they feel more like real pants.
The only downside to flare leggings in comparison to regular ones is the length. Short girls will need to get them hemmed or find petite styles to keep them from dragging on the ground. And tall girls will need to find longer hems to keep their flares from looking like capris. (We don’t need that trend to make a comeback!)
According to the hot girls on TikTok, you can wear your flares with sneakers, sandals or even UGGs. Hey, maybe if your leggings are a little too long, you could pop them on with a pair of mini platforms.
Below, the best flare leggings are defined by fabric softness, compression, inseam options and, of course, color choices. Take a look and get yourself a pair or add them to your holiday wishlist.

This pair has a high-rise fit and a mini-flared leg, so they don’t feel too much like the ’70s. What makes these some of the best flare leggings, however, is that they come in regular and extra short inseams.

Athleta’s Salutation line of leggings are buttery soft and slightly compressive, which according to the product description feels like a “gentle hug”.

They have a standard 30-inch inseam, so they’re definitely one of best flare leggings for long legs. Some pros: they have flat seams, an ultra-high rise fit and super soft fabric. They also have a UPF 50+ rating, which means the fabric blocks 98% of the sun’s rays from reaching your skin. Get them in five colors and a wide range of sizes.
