This Is the Legging Trend You’ll Be Seeing Everywhere in 2019
The biggest legging trend for 2019 will look pretty familiar to anyone who lived in Adidas track pants back in the '90s.
Workout tights that take a cue from the brand's iconic tri-color side stripe are everywhere right now. And while the original is still cool, we're also seeing lots of leggings that have a refreshed take on the classic style—think side stripes on modern fabrics, over eye-catching prints, and paired with other trendy features like mesh panels or colorblocking. We're guessing some of the stripe-y bottoms below will soon be popping up at your gym or next SoulCycle class; add them to your cart now before they're gone.
