Flare leggings/yoga pants

Picked up a lovely flattering pair of black flared leggings/yoga pants which I want to wear out and about, not just for yoga. Was looking for style inspiration, all the advice is from Gen Z lovelies who look adorable in crop tops etc. I’m 49 with a bit of a tum, so this look won’t work for me. Asking for your help - how would you wear them? Thanks

They look like this, super high waisted. Unfortunately I don’t have the models flat tum.

Maybe a boxy t shirt?

A boxy t shirt tucked in and bagged out, or weather dependent a sweatshirt, from Varley (or similar) side zip one.

Thank you that’s helpful. So basically a square-silhouette with the top at hip-bone level?

I wear an oversized shirt and Birkenstocks with mine.

@AboveBeyond yes exactly, im short with quite short legs so like high waist ones, with the hip length top its the most flattering I think .

Looking for a pair of these !! May I ask where you bought them ?

JustAnotherDayWorkingAtHome · 20/05/2023 17:58

Denim shirt maybe

I am looking for something similar but in a low or mid rise.

AboveBeyond · 20/05/2023 18:09

@incognitodorrito they are LuLuLemon Groove which is the really high waist, and there’s a version called Align which has a medium waist.
They are pricey but I find LuLuLemon lasts for years and doesn’t fade or bobble and I spend most of my life in yoga-type wear WFH so worth it.

Thanks for the tips. Will look for some boxy tops and like the idea of wearing an open loose shirt with a tight black tank underneath.

These are lovely! White boxy t tucked in.

They're very flattering. I wore something similar for a do at xmas.

Does anyone else remember all the Miss Sixty super fit and flare trousers back in the noughties? They made your bum look great! 😁

learieonthewildmoor · 20/05/2023 18:37

I wear a long swing t-shirt with mine. I love them in the crop, too.

AboveBeyond · 20/05/2023 19:54

@Laiste yes! I had a pair of Miss Sixty yoga pants like this in the 90s, wore them with Buffalo boots & skinny band T shirts or sequin camisole & pointy shoes for going out.
am v excited bootcut is back
