How to Style Flare Leggings: The Ultimate Guide for 2025

Posted by Ashlee Byrne on

It’s official: flare leggings are having their moment, and we are so here for it. But before you go dusting off your 2007 bootcuts and calling it fashion, let’s talk about the 2025 version: high-rise, minimal seams, buttery-soft, and designed to make your off-duty days look effortlessly put together.

They’re comfy, they’re flattering, and they’ve somehow made it socially acceptable to wear what are essentially yoga trousers to brunch. God bless whoever made that happen.

But how do you style them without looking like you’ve rolled out of bed and given up on life?

Let’s get into it.

Why Flare Leggings Deserve a Spot in Your Wardrobe

First up: these are not your gym leggings.
Let’s not pretend you’ll be running a 10K in them - unless your 10K involves browsing a farmer’s market and chasing a toddler. And that’s grand. Because these are made for movement that feels good, not like punishment.

Crafted for:

  • Low-impact workouts (think yoga, barre, pilates)

  • Weekend coffee runs

  • Work-from-home days

  • Post-class chill or pre-brunch posing

They feel like pyjamas. They look like you’ve got your life together. What more could you want?

Look 1: The “I Just Came From Yoga” Look

Even if the closest you got to yoga today was scrolling past a reel of it on Instagram.

Style it with:

The vibe: Cool, calm, collected… even if you were just panic-cleaning your flat five minutes ago.

Look 2: The Off-Duty Errand Run

From the school drop-off to Tesco to a sneaky pastry grab, this look’s got range.

Style it with:

  • A Clubhouse Crew – oversized, relaxed, and ridiculously soft

  • Crossbody bag

  • Minimalist jewellery (if you’re feeling fancy), we're loving all things over at Fada Jewellery right now!

Hot tip: Let the flare do its thing – no tucking into socks or hiking them up. Keep it casual.

Look 3: Comfy, But Styled

Perfect for days when you want to feel like you made an effort… but not too much.

Style it with:

  • Our Snap Collar Sweatshirt – a structured layer with just enough edge

  • Veja Campo Leather Sneakers

  • A slick bun and sunglasses (you’ll look wildly productive, trust us)

Optional extra: A giant iced coffee and a podcast queued up.

Look 4: The Lounge-That-Looks-Luxe Look

For when you’ve got nowhere to be, but you’d still like compliments.

Style it with:

It’s casual, it’s elevated, and it definitely beats your old uni hoodie and baggy joggers.

What Not to Wear Them For

Just to be clear – these beauties are not your go-to for:

  • Running a marathon

  • HIIT classes

  • Muddy dog walks in the rain

  • Rugby training

  • Climbing Croagh Patrick

They’re more “studio flow” than “beast mode.” And that’s exactly the point.

Why You’ll Live in Them

Let’s be real: once you put these on, you won’t want to wear anything else. And why would you?

Our Flare Leggings tick all the boxes:

✔️ High-rise, stay-put waistband
✔️ Sculpting silhouette
✔️ Silky soft fabric that moves with you
✔️ Pairs perfectly with everything in the G+C range

These aren’t just leggings. They’re a lifestyle choice. A low-effort, high-reward staple that says, “Yes, I did just throw this on… and yes, I still look class.”

Ready to Flare Up?

From lounging to layering, our Flare Leggings are made to move with you – wherever life takes you. Pair them with a Relentless Bra, throw on a Snap Collar, or cosy up in a Clubhouse Crew. Just don’t be surprised when strangers stop you to ask, “Where’d you get those?”
