11 Best Flared Leggings for Travel Days, According to Our Editors
Flared leggings might be the answer. While skinny jeans and bodycon dresses have long been banished to the back of the closet, athleisure has only more recently embraced the joys of flowier fabrics. Look now and you'll see stylish types opting for loose, stretchy flares everywhere from reformer Pilates class to brunch and airport lounges alike.
These newer, breezier cuts range from full-flowing palazzo pants to more sleek, compressive kick flares in fabrics ranging from stretchy spandex to ultra-soft cotton. They're different enough from regular leggings to shake off any 'gym gear' associations, while retaining the stretchy waistbands and breathable fabrics that are a must-have for flight days. That means they're equal parts versatile and comfortable, and a bit smarter than wearing loungewear out of the house.
Both the US and UK Traveler teams tested 11 of the best pairs of wide-leg leggings from top brands such as Lululemon, Adanola, Tala, and Alo Yoga. We hunted for buttery-soft, relaxed fits that looked flattering and felt comfortable on the move, with waistbands that wouldn't roll down in a plane seat. The pairs below made the cut.
