Yes, Fashion People Are Still Wearing Leggings, But Only This Specific Style (and Not With Sneakers)

Every few months, whispers begin about leggings being “out,” but that statement never comes to fruition, and it never will. Leggings in some way, shape, or form, will always be “in,” because, no matter who you are or what you do, you’ll always seek out comfort at some point. And there’s nothing more comfortable than a pair of leggings. Just ask L.A. and New York City It girls, who balance out their chic, designer looks with casual daytime ones filled with, yes, leggings. The controversial bottoms, do, however, go through trend cycles, and right now, fashion people are only really wearing one style, flare leggings, and 99% of the time, they’re styling them with flip-flops. Sneakers, who?

Case in point: Hailey Bieber, who was spotted grabbing an iced coffee during a quick trip to Palm Springs, wearing a graphic T-shirt with black flare leggings from Alo and The Row’s viral (and often sold out) City Flip-Flops. Bieber’s a trendsetter through and through, and her athleisure ensembles are just as influential as the off-the-runway Saint Laurent and Magda Butrym outfits her and her stylist Dani Michelle concoct for red carpets and Rhode press events. Knowing that, it won’t be long before everyone everywhere is wearing her shoe-and-pant combo.
