Women's Flare Leggings & Flare Pants

Finding the perfect women's flare leggings and flare pants comes down to how the fabric moves, and Lorna Jane has you sorted for Saturday morning Pilates classes and quick coffee runs. The upper thigh fit gives you a secure feel, while the flared hem balances out the shape for fun, casual wear. Crafted with soft, high-stretch fabric, you can bend and flex without anything pulling on you. The wider hem changes how the fabric sits and moves against the ground, which is why these work best for low-impact movement rather than high-intensity cardio. If you need speed and stability, our fitted running tights are the better match. Easy choice.

The Tech Behind Our Flare Leggings

How activewear performs comes down to the knit and the fibres used to make it. Our Liberty flared leggings use a lighter nylon knit that lets air move through easily, keeping you cooler during slower sessions. The Nothing 2 See Here™ fabric in our black flare leggings works differently. Its tighter knit and higher elastane content help the fabric bounce back into shape and block more light, so it stays opaque even during a deep squat. Our Lotus thermal styles take a different approach again. The inner fibres are brushed to create tiny air pockets that trap your body heat close to the skin, so you stay warm without extra bulk. To keep your activewear looking its best, always check the individual garment's care label for specific washing instructions.

Are flared pants good for workouts?

Flared pants work best for lifestyle wear and low-impact training like yoga and Pilates, where the relaxed lower leg gives your ankle room to move through slower, controlled poses. They're not the right pick for fast running, where a closer ankle fit keeps you more stable and stops the hem catching mid-stride.

Outside the studio, the shape moves naturally as you sit or walk, making our flare yoga pants incredibly versatile for everyday wear. The high-rise waistband spreads pressure evenly across your middle, so you get support through slower movement without constant adjusting. You get the structure of a fitted tight with the breathing room of a wider leg. Perfect for busy days.

How to Style Flared Pants

Lorna Jane flare leggings work harder than you'd think, and they move easily from grabbing an iced latte to a dinner out. It just takes pairing the right pieces to find a look for every occasion.

• Morning Coffee Runs: Black flare pants with a relaxed knit and clean white sneakers make an easy, off-duty outfit.
• Studio Classes: Liberty flares with a supportive sports bra and a breathable tank keep you comfortable through your session.
• Travel Days: A soft long-sleeve top and a lightweight casual jacket work well with thermal flares to keep you warm on a long flight.
• Evening Plans: Swap your trainers and oversized hoodie for boots and add a coat to take your flared pants out for dinner.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes Lorna Jane flare leggings different from regular leggings?
A: Flare leggings widen from the knee down. That changes how the fabric moves and sits compared to a fitted ankle, which makes them better for low-impact movement.

Q: Are Lorna Jane flared leggings opaque?
A: Yes. Styles made with our Nothing 2 See Here™ fabric use a tighter knit to keep things opaque even during deep stretches.

Q: Can I wear these leggings as flare jogging pants?
A: We wouldn't recommend it. The wider hem can make your ankle feel less stable than it would in our fitted running tights.

Q: How do I care for my Lorna Jane flare leggings?
A: A gentle cold wash is usually best. To keep your activewear looking its best, always check the individual garment's care label for specific washing instructions.

Q: Do Lorna Jane flare pants suit all heights?
A: Yes. The gradual flare creates a balanced shape for most heights, and petite lengths are also available for shorter frames.
