The flared silhouette is back and better than ever, making its mark on the activewear scene. At Koppla Activewear, we know comfort shouldn’t mean sacrificing style. That’s why the flared bodysuit and legging combo is your new go-to look, effortlessly bridging the gap between the gym and going out.

Ready to take this trending cut from studio to street? Here are our top outfit ideas and styling tips to make the flared look work for any occasion.

The Base: Pairing the Flared Bodysuit and Leggings

The beauty of the flared set is that it provides a streamlined base layer. A flared bodysuit cinches your waist and smooths your silhouette, while flared leggings elongate your legs with their wide opening at the ankle.

Styling Tip #1: Monochromatic Magic

Keep it simple and chic by sticking to one color from head to toe (e.g., our navy bodysuit and matching navy leggings). This monochromatic look is incredibly effective for two reasons:

  1. Maximum Elongation: It creates an uninterrupted vertical line, making you look instantly taller and leaner.
  2. Effortless Sophistication: It feels polished and intentional, requiring minimal effort to accessorize.

Outfit Ideas: Flared Activewear from Day to Night

  1. The Post-Workout Power Look 💪

Transitioning from your last set to brunch or errands requires minimal fuss, maximal impact.

  • The Layer: Throw an oversized, structured blazer over your flared bodysuit. Choose one with shoulder pads for a sharp, tailored contrast to the soft, stretchy activewear underneath.
  • The Shoes: Opt for chunky platform sneakers or crisp white leather trainers. The platform adds height, which works perfectly with the flared hemline.
  • Accessories: A small crossbody bag and a pair of sleek sunglasses.

  1. Effortless Street Style 😎

Elevate the casual comfort for a day of shopping or coffee with friends.

  • The Layer: Wrap a cropped, zip-up hoodie or a loose, vintage denim jacket around your shoulders. Cropped pieces maintain the flattering high-waist line of the leggings.
  • The Shoes: Classic canvas shoes or fashionable ballet flats/slingbacks. The ballet flat adds a touch of unexpected delicacy to the athletic look.
  • Accessories: A beanie or baseball cap and layered, minimalist gold jewelry.

  1. Smart Casual & Travel Ready ✈️

Yes, you can wear your flared leggings to travel or a smart-casual event. It’s all about the fabric and the topper.

  • The Layer: Drape a long trench coat or a soft, cashmere wrap cardigan over the bodysuit. The length of the coat balances the flare of the pants, creating drama and movement.
  • The Shoes: Stylish loafers or a pair of pointed-toe ankle boots (if the flare is long enough to cover them). This instantly shifts the look away from the gym.
  • Accessories: A large tote bag or a structured weekender bag (for travel).

Pro Tips for Perfecting the Flare

  • Hemline Matters: The perfect flared legging length should just graze the floor when you’re wearing your chosen shoe (sneakers or boots). Too short and it loses the elongating effect; too long and it’s a tripping hazard.
  • Define the Waist: Since the bodysuit already does a great job, ensure any layer you add (especially blazers or jackets) ends at or above the hip to emphasize the waistline.
  • Embrace Textures: Mix the smooth performance fabric of the activewear with chunky knits, stiff denim, or structured wool for a high-fashion contrast.
