Y2K's Flare Leggings Trend Is Back and Better Than Ever
Let’s face it: The Y2K aesthetic has taken over the fashion world, and it seems like it’s here to stay. (And honestly, I’m totally on board.) Who would’ve thought that butterfly tops, microminis, velour tracksuits, and small shoulder bags would make a comeback again? But even more shockingly, the fact that flared leggings (or flared anything for that matter) are resurrecting again is pretty wild. Remember when any wide-legged bottom was considered atrocious at one point?! I will say, though, that I’m not mad about this flared leggings revival that’s going on....And if you’re also not, keep on reading, because we’re on the same page, my friend.
What I love about these kinds of leggings is that they don’t scream, “I just threw these on to look presentable.” Yes, they are very cozy, but they’re super chic too! And some of them are so chic that they could even pass as work pants!! Work smarter, not harder, am I right?
