No matter what you call them, the best flared leggings (a.k.a. yoga pants) have been athleisure staples since the early aughts—and they might just be more popular than ever right now. They’ve been rediscovered (and rebranded) by Gen Z as an alternative to plain black leggings, with tons of cute options from both TikTok-viral brands and OGs like Nike. And now the bottoms have been remixed with new details like crossover waistbands, split hems, and inclusive sizing, including for petites and up to 7XL.
These days there’s a pair for everyone. Need flared tights that aren’t too long? Pop over to Athleta’s leggings collection. Looking for a very specific color to match your yoga mat or running shoes? Lululemon, as always, has your back. Don’t want to spend more than $20 on a pair that’s just as comfy as sweatpants? We found the Amazon leggings that won’t let you down. Whether you’re running to a fitness class, walking your dog around the neighborhood, or simply relaxing at home, these are the very best flared leggings to shop now.

Designed for yoga, these best-selling high-rise tights are exactly like your favorite Lululemon leggings, just with wider legs. “I love that the cut allows for some airflow up my legs when I’m doing yoga, and that its high-waist cut covers my stomach completely,” says Glamour commerce editor Malia Griggs. “They’re so soft that I’ve worn them to bed.” If the buttery-soft Nulu fabric and wide range of colors on these pair of flares weren’t enough, there’s even a back pocket for your phone—a welcome update to the boot-cut yoga pants you loved in middle school. Just a word of warning: If you have short legs, this pair might be too long.
Sizes: 0–20 / Colors: 12 options / Rise: High / Material: Nylon, Lycra

These budget-friendly leggings come highly recommended by Glamour commerce writer Andrea Navarro, who often wears them when she’s working from home. Since they’re made mostly of cotton, they feel more like breathable sweatpants than leggings—a definite plus when you’re enjoying a movie marathon or taking a long walk.

One of the most size-inclusive activewear brands on the market, Athleta makes a point of producing clothes that fit a wide variety of body types. It’s the rare brand that offers true plus-size leggings, from 1X to 3X, which can make all the difference when you’re looking for a pair that fits like it’s supposed to. Throw in a not-too-wide flare, stretchy fabric, and sizable side pockets and you get some truly exceptional tights. (Plus, it’s another pair that Navarro loves.)

Gap’s pair of flared leggings is one of the few options with three separate inseams—regular, tall, and petite—so you wind up with tights that actually fit. Only three colors are available, but black, navy, and berry are plenty versatile. Oh, and the majority of the material is recycled polyester, making this a slightly more sustainable pick.
Sizes: XXS–XXL / Colors: 3 options / Rise: High / Material: Polyester, spandex
Pros: Frequently on sale; wide range of sizing Cons: Limited sizing in petite and tall lengths

With a leg-lengthening silhouette and a slim waistband, these Alo Yoga leggings offer a snug fit that won’t hug you too tight—it’s just enough to sculpt without constricting you. And the split-hem design is more than just an aesthetic choice: They offer extra ventilation for sweaty workouts (while also allowing you to show off your newest white sneakers).
Sizes: XXS–L / Colors: 7 options / Rise: High / Material: Nylon, elastane
Pros: Supersoft fabric; odor-resistant, highly breathable Cons: Not ideal for short people

If you prefer a lower cut than the super-high silhouette offered by nearly every other brand, this is about to become your favorite pair. “These leggings are made of substantial stretchy fabric that feels a tad compressive, and their midrise cut hits around my belly button,” says Glamour commerce editor Malia Griggs. “They’re just the right amount of length for my 5'4" frame (no drag), and I love that they have a pocket in the back that fits my phone.”
Sizes: XS–XL / Colors: 1 option / Rise: Mid / Material: Nylon, Lycra
Pros: Comparatively low cut; back pocket, UPF material Cons: Limited sizing

These Nike leggings are ideal for your day off; the mostly cotton fabric is thick, stretchy, and soft. While black is available, we especially love the chestnut brown, which looks almost exactly like something we’d have worn back in the early 2000s. The wide waistband resists rolling, while the thick fabric is ideal for cold-weather ’fits.
Sizes: XXS–XXL / Colors: 2 options / Rise: High / Material: Cotton, polyester, elastane
Pros: Retro look, supersoft fabric Cons: No pockets; might be too long.

These high-waist leggings are plenty flexible for serious workouts, but the real draw is their draped, dramatic flares, which actually open up for easier movement. (The ribbed fabric only adds to the cool old-school look.) If you’re all about making a statement, they’re well worth the investment.
Sizes: XS–L / Colors: 3 options / Rise: High / Material: Viscose, elastane
Pros: Super-wide flare, ribbed material Cons: Limited sizing

When you need to look dressed up but you can’t bring yourself to wear anything but leggings, reach for these Spanx bell bottoms.

These recyclable leggings caused quite a stir when they were first released, selling out almost instantly. If you happen to find a pair of the beloved brand’s wide-leg tights in your size, we suggest you snap them up ASAP. The four-way construction is not only super comfy, but also squat-proof and sweat-resistant. The brand itself is committed to sustainability, and this pair is made from recycled plastic bottles and can be recycled at the end of its lifespan. Plus…pockets!
Sizes: XXS–6XL / Colors: 5 options / Rise: High / Material: rPET, spandex
Pros: Squat-proof material, pockets; size-inclusive Cons: Some colors sell out quickly.
Available in sizes large through 7XL, these plus-size leggings make the flared look more accessible than pretty much any other pair. “These flares have become my everyday pants,” one reviewer writes. “Love the supportive comfort. The look is pleasing, and the pocket is deep enough to keep my phone fully contained.”
Sizes: L–7X / Colors: 2 options / Rise: High / Material: Polyester, spandex
Pros: Size-inclusive; squat-proof material, side pockets Cons: Waistband might roll down.
These flared yoga pants don’t have the bells and whistles that some other activewear brands add on, but they make up for it with high-quality fabric, a high sculpting waistband, and a just-right flare that comes in various inseam lengths. “I have the shortest ones,” says Glamour contributor Talia Abbas. “They hit me just above the ankle, which is great for my 5'1" frame, since most boot-cut leggings tend to puddle and are unwearable outside the house. The fabric is on the thicker side, though, so I wear these in the fall and winter.”
Sizes: XS–XL / Colors: 15 options / Rise: High / Material: Nylon, spandex
Pros: Sculpting waist, four inseam lengths, tons of colors Cons: No side pockets
