Is Everyone Ditching Their "Traditional" Leggings for This Style?
We have been fans of leggings for a long time now—that’s no secret. It’s tough to beat the flattering style to wear everywhere from the gym to a weekend coffee run to a comfortable outfit for the airport. But as the athleisure trend is rising, there’s a new style we’ve started seeing everywhere: drop-crotch joggers.
The silhouette is more relaxed than leggings and can also easily transition to looks that work outside the gym. Try pairing yours with a cropped tee and sneakers for the gym, or wear them with a voluminous top and pointed leather mules for a street style look. You can even follow Bella Hadid’s lead and make them work for the airport by wearing them with a bomber jacket, leather tote bag, and cool embellished slides.
Keep reading to shop our 21 favorite pairs of drop-crotch joggers from Zara, Baja East, Champion, and more.
Joggers are key for your workout attire as well as your at-home loungewear.
After a workout class, keep your muscles warm with these chic sweatpants.
