12 Celebrity Outfits That'll Make You Want to Wear Leggings as Pants Again
You're not imagining it: Leggings as a trend took a hiatus over the past several years. As baggier silhouettes became the norm, sweatpants replaced them, and legging lovers such as Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner weren't photographed in them quite as much as they once were. As a result, in recent years, leggings became less of a trend that you build an outfit around and more of a functional item that you solely wear to the gym or Pilates. Well, as trends do in the world of fashion, things are starting to shift again.
If you follow the runways, you've probably noticed that silhouettes are moving back toward the slimmer end of spectrum, with Prada featuring skinny pants and Celine cashing in on skinny jeans for its S/S 23 collections. Accordingly, celebrities are again embracing the leggings-as-pants concept.
If you'd like some styling inspiration, here are 12 chic legging outfits we spotted on celebrities recently along with some of our favorite pairs to shop right now.
