How to Style Rib Flare Leggings for Autumn 2026

Rib flare leggings sit high on the waist, fit close to the knee and flare over the shoe. They are knitted rather than woven, so they move like leggings but look like trousers. Here is how to wear them from September onwards.

The matching set

The simplest outfit is the co-ord: the The Rib Flare Leggings with the The Rib Snap Button Top in the same cream. Both come in matching colours so the set reads as one piece. Add plain white trainers and a small shoulder bag.

With a hoodie

For weekends, an oversized hoodie over the flares balances the fitted leg. The The Everyday Pullover Hoodie is plain with no logo and comes in four colours.

With a cropped jacket

A cropped faux leather jacket ends at the waist, which keeps the high waist of the leggings visible and makes the leg look longer. See jackets and coats.

Shoes

The flare is cut to cover most of the shoe, so choose something with a little height: a chunky trainer, a block-heel boot or a platform. A flat ballet shoe disappears under the hem.

Sizing

The rib is stretchy and recovers, so take your usual size. Each product page lists waist and hip measurements per UK size.

More easy bottoms, including capri leggings, wide-leg joggers and jeans, are in bottoms from to.
