"Claudia Winkleman made black leggings her Traitors uniform, and now everyone wants to wear them again. The comeback of leggings is not about what you wear to the gym."
"Leggings are back, but as a sleek day-to-night option, to be worn with a proper shoe and a smart top. This is an item that pretty much every one of us has in a drawer somewhere."
"The return of leggings seems to be a good thing, as it wards off the threatened return of skinny jeans, which come with a lot of toxic, 2000s cultural baggage."
"There is a view that leggings are back because our culture is, depressingly, obsessed with being skinny again. On the catwalk, progress towards body diversity looks to have stalled."
Leggings are returning as a fashionable choice, primarily influenced by Claudia Winkleman, who popularized them as part of her signature style. Unlike fitness wear, which is trending towards looser fits, leggings are now seen as versatile day-to-night attire. They are considered a staple item, easily found in most wardrobes. The resurgence of leggings is viewed positively, as it may delay the return of skinny jeans, which carry negative cultural connotations. Despite concerns about body image in fashion, leggings offer comfort and practicality.
