High Sport's viral pants set off the trend for kick flare pants. They are a piece that is as popular on the street style scene as they are for low-key outings, making them a cool, dressed-up version of leggings that are filling the place of sweatpants from years past.

On the S/S 24 runways, capri-length leggings were everywhere. Designers including Phillip Lim, Mirror Palais, and Theory showcased sophisticated ways to style them and we expect them to take over in the coming year.

Miu Miu's F/W 23 collection is one of the most talked-about runway shows in recent memory and the leggings-as-pants looks dominated that conversation. We've since seen that trickle over to the fashion set. This trend is less about a specific type of leggings and more about how they are styled—often with knits and tailored outerwear.

Leggings are truly getting dressier and dressier and crossing into the pants category in many ways. This included styles with tailored details—everything from zippers to belt loops to pleats.

One legging trend we can expect to never fade away? Sleek, black leggings. The classic style can be worn everywhere from the gym to the airport and will simply always be a wardrobe staple.
