Women Crossover Flare Leggings High Waisted Flared Yoga Pants Workout Pants

Product Information

During our cardio exercises, we occasionally found ourselves adjusting the waistband ever so slightly. When we bent around, they would have a slight rolling or bunching, which we had to straighten out. That being said, it never sagged or slipped down. And during yoga, the completely opaque material kept our underwear hidden. The stretchy and soft material made all types of movement a real treat. However, once we took it out the dryer, we did notice what looked like the beginnings of some fraying and pilling. Even though the tag says they’re safe for the washer, we suggest airdrying them instead. On the other hand, if you’re looking for flared pants more for style points and lounging reasons, then something softer in fabric and stretchier would be the way to go. These can be made with a combination of nylon, polyester, and elastane. The Beyond Yoga Spacedye All Day Flare High Waisted Pant, Beyond Yoga Make the Cut Pants, and OFFLINE By Aerie Real Me High Waisted Crossover Flare Legging oozed comfort and style. Length

Before purchasing a new pair of flared leggings, we recommend keeping the following considerations in mind: Whether you're new to the flared legging trend or already love it and want to find new ways to style them, having some expert guidance can help make shopping easier (and more fun!). Nichelle Mesa, customer experience manager at Girlfriend Collective, shares her insights on finding your next flare. It was evident how top-quality these leggings were, given that they never tore, pilled, ripped, thinned, or caused chafing on our skin. Areas of high-friction, like the knees, showed no signs of wear and tear, even after weeks of consistently wearing them, washing them, and engaging in high-intensity training.We cannot stress enough how comfortable and stretchy these are. The soft, smooth fabric never made us feel itchy or too constricted. The waistband came up to right above our belly buttons to provide support without any restriction. Once on, they never left that position either, remaining perfectly situated instead of rolling or slipping. The stretchiness came from the 18 percent lycra elastane, which we helped the leggings mold around the body. We felt safe knowing that even if our weight fluctuated a bit, the flexibility would allow it to stay snug against the body. It also made stretching, working out, and (as we later found out) chasing our kids a simple breeze. Length: If you're super tall or petite, make sure you take an extra look at the length of the pants, so you don't buy something that's too short or too long.

These leggings remained super soft, flexible, and comfortable throughout multiple wears and washes. They're completely opaque despite the ultra-thin nylon and elastane blend. We give this pair high points for style thanks to the versatile crossover waistband, which can be pulled up for a more high-waisted look or scrunched down to wear as a low-rise, opening doors to an array of fun ways to style them. Plus, they come in short and long options, ensuring they'll be just the right length for your height. What's worth noting: These pants are available in regular, tall, and petite lengths, which is particularly essential for a flared legging. What We Love: Even with consistent wear, these pants remained in top-notch shape, never stretching, pilling, or losing its softness.

I am a plus-size woman and these leggings were the boost of confidence I’ve been needing in a pair of leggings,” wrote another reviewer. “No other legging or pants has ever made me feel this way. I could literally do anything in these. They are so flattering and you can dress them up or down.” What's worth noting: These are not the most flared pants of the bunch, so if you're looking for something a bit more exaggerated, these may not be the pants for you. Material: Most flared leggings on this list are made out of nylon and spandex (otherwise known as elastane). Nylon is responsible for durability and breathability. On the other hand, spandex is what helps make fabric feel stretchy. When buying a pair of flared leggings, our team recommends looking out for at least one of these materials in your pants. Why we love it: We like these pants because not only are they super affordable, they're also more of a straight leg, as opposed to a true flare, so they're nice to try out to get a feel for the look. What customers are saying: One customer said that they "can't live without these pants! [I] love the buttery soft feel," while another customer said, "these pants are magical, [with an] incredibly soft material that holds its shape and is super flattering!"

What's worth noting: These pants have zippered openings at the outside of the flared legging, which does make them hard to hem if you needed that for length. What We Don’t Love: The material is quite thin, so it’s not the most supportive option for the gym. What customers say: One buyer relayed that these leggings are, "the comfiest ever! I live in these leggings. I'll be wearing them all winter long when I go walking with my friends." What customers are saying: One customer says that these leggings are, "way better than I could have imagined, [with] quality fabric [and] great cut and design. Also perfect full length." Why we love it: If you're looking for the perfect pant for cold-weather outdoor workouts, these are the ones to buy. They'll keep you comfortable and happy when the wind is whipping and you're out for your walk or workout.Why We Liked It: Full coverage leggings that leave you feeling supported and comfortable without weighing you down. Why We Liked It: These high-wasted flares are ultra-flattering and earn top marks across all categories, from fit to performance, quality, and opacity. On the flip side, the compression makes them less comfortable for lounging around the house. They’re definitely intended to be taken out, as we noticed them to be a little uncomfortable to snuggle into the couch with.

As a more affordable alternative, we have to say we’re really happy with how they perform. The pilling wasn’t so dramatic to the point that it bothered us, and we got a really good and supportive workout out in them. We found these flares to hold their shape and fit over multiple wears, washes, and workouts. The snug fit stays in place without riding up or bunching. Personally, we think cellulite is totally natural and nothing to be ashamed of, but we realize it may make some people self-conscious. We found that the tight fit may show cellulite outlines on some bodies. We give these pants top marks for comfort. The silky smooth fabric is soft without being too sheer, providing support in all the right places. Why We Liked Them: This pair has all the same benefits as the Lululemon Groove High-Rise Split-Hem Flared Pant, but with extra length! We found these leggings to be a great value—they're cheap without looking cheap. Though we did notice some slight shrinkage in the flare of these pants after washing, it made them less likely to drag.

Our top picks

What We Love: They are opaque and stretchy, allowing us to engage in our full range of motion comfortably. What customers say: One reviewer raved that these pants were "extremely comfortable, true to size, and doesn't slide down!! I need 10 of these now!" Another customer said that these are "great quality. Perfect fit and they feel terrific. Love the fabric - wears and washes well. I've replaced all my other athletic/yoga pants with these." On top of all of this, the pants were completely opaque. No amount of squatting or holding up against the sun revealed what was underneath. That being said, because of the tightness of the material, we noticed our cellulite peeking through ever so slightly on the thighs and booty. We weren’t bothered by this, but it’s worth mentioning if it’s of your concern. It’s also on the longer side, so people under five foot six might experience some bunching at the hem.
