Whether you're heading to yoga, weight training, or simply living your day, the fit stays secure while giving you room to move.

Our flare leggings range includes classic black styles and seasonal shades, all built with moisture-wicking fabrics that handle whatever you throw at them. From wide leg leggings with a relaxed finish to fitted flared yoga leggings with ruched details, there's a style to match your session.

Who This Collection Is For

These womens flared leggings suit anyone looking for versatile activewear that transitions easily between workout and downtime. If you prefer a bit more coverage around the ankle or want something that balances out your frame, the flared cut offers a flattering alternative to traditional gym leggings.

Ladies flared leggings work particularly well for mat-based workouts, low-impact cardio, and strength sessions where you want full range of motion without excess fabric bunching. They're also a solid choice if you're after athleisure pieces that look intentional, not like you've just rolled out of the gym.

When to Wear Flared Leggings

Flared leggings shine in yoga, Pilates, and barre classes where flexibility matters. The wider leg opening moves with you through stretches and flows without riding up, making them practical for poses that require deep lunges or wide stances. They're equally capable for weight training sessions, giving you stability through squats and deadlifts whilst keeping things comfortable.

Beyond the gym, these women's flared leggings pair effortlessly with trainers and an oversized tee for casual weekend wear. The tailored flare adds structure to relaxed outfits, so you can run errands or meet friends without looking like you're mid-workout. Throw on a cropped hoodie and you've got a balanced silhouette that feels put-together without trying too hard.

Moisture-Wicking Fabric

Built with quick-drying materials that pull sweat away from your skin, these flare leggings keep you feeling fresh during intense sessions. The fabric maintains its shape and stretch, wash after wash.

Flattering Kick Flare

The subtle flare from knee to hem balances proportions and adds visual interest to classic legging styles. This cut works with different body types and training preferences, from studio flows to strength work.

Four-Way Stretch

FAQs

How do flared leggings fit compared to regular gym leggings?

Flared leggings fit the same through the waist, hips, and thighs as standard leggings, then gradually widen from the knee down. This creates a balanced silhouette whilst maintaining the secure, compressive feel you're used to in the upper leg. The flare doesn't affect performance or mobility, it simply changes the overall shape.

Can I wear flared leggings for high-intensity workouts?

Absolutely. These leggings handle high-intensity training, running, and weight sessions just as well as fitted styles. The four-way stretch and moisture-wicking fabric perform identically to our core legging range. The wider leg opening won't interfere with movements like box jumps or burpees, though some people prefer a tapered fit for running.

What length should I choose for flared leggings?

Standard flared leggings work for most heights, typically hitting at or just above the ankle bone. If you're taller than 5'8”, consider the tall-specific styles which add extra length to prevent the leggings sitting too short. The flare needs room to kick out properly, so avoiding excess bunching at the bottom ensures the intended silhouette.

How should I wash and care for these leggings?

Machine wash in cold water with similar colours and tumble dry on low or hang to dry. Avoid fabric softener as it can break down the moisture-wicking properties over time. The fabric holds up well to regular washing, maintaining both stretch and shape without pilling or fading.

Do flared leggings work for different body types?

Yes, the flared cut tends to balance proportions across different frames. The high-waisted design creates definition at the smallest part of your torso, whilst the flare from the knee down adds visual interest and can elongate the leg line. They're particularly flattering if you carry more weight in your upper body or prefer not to emphasise your calves and ankles.

Can I dress up flared leggings for casual wear?

These leggings transition easily into everyday outfits. Pair them with trainers and a fitted jumper for a streamlined look, or add ankle boots and a longline coat for something more polished. The structured flare gives them a more intentional appearance than standard gym leggings, making them versatile for errands, coffee runs, or relaxed weekend plans.

Who designed the Myprotein flared leggings collection?

Myprotein's in-house design team develops all pieces in the range, combining feedback from athletes and everyday gym-goers to create functional activewear. The team tests fabrics, fits, and features extensively before finalising designs, ensuring each style meets performance standards whilst staying current with evolving trends.

What's the difference between flared and wide leg leggings?

Flared leggings gradually widen from the knee down, creating a subtle kick flare that's still relatively close to the leg. Wide leg styles have a more dramatic opening from the thigh or knee, offering a looser, more relaxed fit throughout the lower leg. Both provide the same supportive waistband and stretchy fabric, the main difference is the degree of flare and overall silhouette.
