What an opportune time for leggings to make a comeback, amirite? But really, we've seen slit-hem styles (both in the front and on the sides of leggings) bubbling up for a while now, and the trend seems to be at the point where even I—who probably hasn't worn leggings as pants in five or more years—am itching to hop on board. From celebs like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Gigi Hadid to the Instagram and street style stars we love, it's been all over my feed and now, in my cart, too.
They're even starting to take the place of jeans, and I can honestly say I haven't seen leggings look this chic and polished in years. Aside from that and the obvious from the comfort factor, however, one of the best things about this comeback is that whether you want to spend less than tens or hundreds of dollars, there's a pair for you. To see how the aforementioned ladies and more are wearing them and to shop all the best slit-hem leggings along the way, just keep scrolling.
This whole look is my dream vibe for spring.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is always ahead of the trend curve and, of course, is a fan of this one, too.
All-black with statement accessories is my favorite fall-back outfit because it always works.
If there's a night out in my near future, you bet I'll be wearing this.
A chic belted blazer looks even better with split leggings and a pair of trendy thong heels.
Emrata's dog-walking outfit is seriously goals.
Stick to the basics and you can never go wrong.
As a cofounder of Wardrobe.NYC, it's no surprise Christine Centenera is constantly seen in these leggings.
An office-appropriate way to style the trend.
When we spotted Gigi in the trend last month, we knew it was blowing up.
When the weather really warms up, you can swap in the white boots here for white strappy sandals.
I've already got the leggings and black blazer. Now, these bejeweled accessories are calling my name.
Works with sneakers? Sold.
