5 Reasons I Ditched My Leggings (For Good)
Are leggings still in style?
They had their moment—but I'm over it.
For years, leggings were my go-to. School drop-off, errands, brunch, even casual Fridays at work—leggings worked because they were easy.
Dressing like you were headed to a workout (even when you weren’t) became the thing. Thin, skin-tight fabric passed as everyday wear because everyone else was doing it. But honestly—leggings weren’t always flattering, and they weren’t always the best choice.
Then one day, I caught my reflection as I walked into a room—tote bag on my shoulder, vanilla latte in hand, leggings clinging a little too much. . . I felt a little jolt of panic. That “Oh no, does everyone else see this too?” moment. Did I really just walk into a meeting looking like I was headed to a yoga class? That’s when I knew it was time for something different.
That’s when I found Everywear.
Not activewear. Not loungewear.
Clothes made for real life.
Polished enough for a meeting. Comfortable enough for everyday. Flattering enough for dinner out.
I’ve practically been living in Alex + Abby pants ever since. Here’s why:
1. Tight Doesn’t Mean Flattering
Leggings cling to everything—every curve, every bump—putting it all on display. These pants are different: skimming instead of squeezing, flattering without feeling painted on. They know when to let go.
2. Some Places Deserve Better
Leggings were never meant for meetings, social dinners, or the office—they make me feel underdressed in those settings. These pants look intentional, never like I wandered in straight from the gym.
3. I’m Done Hiding My Butt
The unspoken rule of leggings? Cover your backside (unless you’re one of those fearless women who can still rock a crop top in public). But for most of us, that meant tunics and oversized tops because it’s hard to feel confident with nothing but skin-tight spandex between you and the world. Alex + Abby is made for real bodies with real curves. No cover-up required.
4. Comfort That Looks Good
Silky, lightweight MotionWeave fabric feels amazing and actually looks like pants. All the comfort without the “I’ve been binge-watching all day” look.
5. I Don’t Need to Dress Like I’m 20
I want clothes that match my life now: smart, modern, and put-together. These pants are flattering without the “trying too hard” feel of skin-tight leggings.
Why I’m Not Going Back
Leggings had their time. But they don't cut it anymore. I deserve clothes that work everywhere I go—and Everywear does exactly that.
