I tried Uniqlo’s flared leggings – and they’re 100% worth it

Since its launch, Uniqlo's AIRism collection has grown significantly - now even including leggings. I'm a regular shopper at Uniqlo, owning many of its built-in bra tops, socks, thermal pieces, you name it. But my latest purchase - the brand's AIRism Soft Ribbed Flare Leggings - is easily my best one yet.

I recently bought a black pair from their new-in section and they are so soft, cosy and most of all, comfortable, that I've been wearing them pretty much non-stop. Now I’ve got my eye on a second pair - the only problem is deciding which of the three colours to get next.

Crafted from a soft ultra-stretch fabric, the leggings are ultra comfy and easy to move in, and are suitable for the gym or lounging. What’s even better? They'll only set you back by £24.90.

From stocking some of the best bras and high street linen trousers to their signature crossbody bags, it’s easy to see why Uniqlo has built such a loyal following - even among celebrities. With timeless, minimalist designs and buttery-soft fabrics, it's crystal clear this is a brand to watch. And these leggings are no exception.

Uniqlo shoppers are clearly fans - the Uniqlo AIRism leggings flare have already racked up 43 five-star reviews. One satisfied shopper remarked that they were "Super flattering and comfortable, I can't stop wearing them."

All shades are still well-stocked for now - but like any Uniqlo favourite, they might start flying off the shelves soon. They’re practical, stylish, and basically essential for day-to-day life.

With a sporty yet polished silhouette that blends seamlessly into both everyday looks and off-duty outfits, these leggings have carried me through laid-back weekends, spontaneous pub trips, and even the occasional day at the office. I think I’ve found the elevated yet affordable one-and-done pair of leggings to rule them all.
