Truthfully, we’re not complaining. Flare leggings are incredibly comfortable and flattering, so we’re happy to add the pant alternative back into our closets. Thankfully the trend has received a few upgrades, so please don’t pull out your old Victoria’s Secret PINK leggings with the wide polka dot waistband. Instead, lean into the reincarnated trend with one of these 25 best pairs of flare leggings. You’ll instantly be reminded of your younger self and of how proud she would be of who you are today and how your style has evolved (for categories outside of leggings, that is).
