Maybe the Aritizia/Lululemon roots have made British Columbians so amenable to stretchy pants. Still, it's not unusual to see people wearing leggings at restaurants, work, concerts, bars – basically, anywhere that isn't the gym.
It feels like the humble legging has earned a spot in nearly every closet — regardless of age, gender, size and style preference. This is thanks to a rise in work-from-home style (business up top, party on the bottom) and luxury athleisure brands and influential celebrities embracing elastic waistbands. But that's what makes leggings so great: there is no limit on how to wear them. Dressed up with heels, dressed down with sneakers, paired with a tunic or worn with a crop top (anyone who wants to debate whether or not showing a butt in leggings is appropriate can take their time machine back to 2015) — it is the most versatile wardrobe staple since the white tee.
