Leggings are a style staple, but will they still be on trend in 2022?

The trusty pair of comfy trousers have been getting more wear than ever before thanks to the pandemic. While it didn’t bring much good news, I did appreciate being able to wear mine every day as I worked from home.

Similarly loungewear sets, cute PJs and chunky shoes soared in popularity as we embraced all things comfy.

We’ve now gone past the debate on whether leggings can be considered pants and are fully adopting them as staples in our wardrobes, thanks in part to celebrities (Beyonce and Kylie Jenner, amongst others) and influencers.

Pretty much anything goes, and there are more varieties than we’ve ever seen before. Of course plain black pairs are easy to wear, but now we can also wear printed, colourful, slit hem, stirrup and knitted styles too.
