Prepare to See These Provocative New Leggings on Every Fashion Girl
Remember Jonathan Simkhai's first activewear collaboration with Carbon38, back in January? Well, the designer is back at it with fresh pieces, and we're obsessed anew. The latest collection features incredibly chic sports bras, jackets, and more, but the forward-thinking leggings may be our favorite part. As we predicted earlier this year, the corset legging trend is definitely taking off, but Simkhai just took it to the next level with these pieces.
Boasting lace-up, corset-inspired detailing at the waist and legs, the leggings definitely make a statement. Team them with the matching sports bras and you have the basically coolest activewear outfit imaginable—perfect for looking stylish and fulfilling your New Year's resolution to work out more.
Scroll down to shop our favorite leggings from the newest Jonathan Simkhai x Carbon38 collaboration.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
