We all wore it in 2006, this improbable trend is coming back in force in 2024

Swept aside by the famous Russian model, jeans have some concerns to worry about at the end of the year. And for good reason, this November 20, 2023, the lovely Irina Shayk wore an outfit whose photographs went around the world in less than 24 hours.

A craze which is mainly justified by the astonishing fashion trendwhich the top model confirmed: the legging. A sporty tight-fitting pants, which we no longer wear only during physical activities anymore.

Irina Shayk confirms the return of the legging trend for 2024

Followed by more than 23 million subscribers obsessed with her style on Instagram, Irina Shayk holds the reputation of being one of the pioneers in fashion. So much so that everything the young mother touches or wears turns into gold. Recently, it was while walking the streets that Bradley Cooper’s hypnotizing ex-partner catapulted her look to the rank of sartorial reference for fall-winter 2023.

For what ? Quite simply because she has achieved the feat of making the legging. This bottom garment decried by the modosphere, which nevertheless welcomed it with open arms in December 2020, the date on which I portrayed the return of the trend to you as a fashion journalist. At the time, Camille Charrière, the blogger with 1.4 million followers on Instagram, praised the merits of leggingchoosing it as the centerpiece of her look during Fall/Winter 2021 Fashion Week in Paris.

This was followed by Emili Sindlev, the Scandinavian on the rise, who had helped to restore the image of legging. Since then, the latter had disappeared from radar. So much so that cherry red and burgundy tights have replaced it, becoming the clothing essentials of the moment. However, if we go back in time, the legging was the final investment to make in 2006, the year during which the review leaders fashion such as Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie, swore by him. Which leads me to think that the trend is indeed back for 2024? Its rise to power on social networks as well as its notable presence on the catwalks of recent Fashion Weeks.

Few people would have bet on it, and yet. The most attentive had already been able to anticipate the trend by noticing its presence a few months ago, on the catwalks of the most prominent fashion shows of our generation.

A true object of fascination for fashionable designers, the legging is the discreet superstar at first glance, of the fall-winter 2023 and spring-summer 2024 collections. The proof is, Isabel Marant assigned it to the fashion wardrobe this end of year, presenting cherry red leggings, coordinated with a total look composed of a leather jacket, just to toughen up its look sportswear.

For Ferragamo, artistic director Maximilian Davis reinvents the legging of the 2000s by giving it a much more energetic look. No more flashy prints and colors, it’s time for minimalism and “discreet luxury” (Quiet Luxury).

How to wear leggings in real life? With a layering shirts or knitwear, a blazer topped with a trench coat (cotton, wool, linen or leather) and riding bootswithout whom the trend would probably not have reappeared any time soon.
