It's the news we could never imagine happening, but leggings, it would appear, are over. Now, while you might be lamenting the end of the stretchy trouser, fear not, we're only talking about the posh variety. Turns out that the sales of sporty leggings are still going strong—and we're breathing a sigh of relief.
Over at online retalier Lyst, they've seen a slowing down in sales of leggings with a decrease of 22% over the past six months. However, brands like Nike are still powering on with mega sales. Clearly this news means two things a.) people are working out more, or b.) athleisure is a seriously big deal. We're inclined to think it's a combination of the two.
