8 Non-Dated Ways People Are Wearing Leggings Right Now
Shop the trending outfit combinations.
Despite all of the fluctuation among fashion trends, something that doesn’t change in modern times is the popularity of leggings. They're a wardrobe staple in every sense of the word. What does change is how we wear them, and that's where the subject of looking non-dated comes in. Perhaps because they've been so popular for so long, they can easily look dated if worn with certain items. Remember your legging outfits of 2015?
