DEWEY's Extra Petite Style Guide: Flared Leggings
Flared leggings, a trend that has taken athleisure by storm, have quickly become a must-have staple in activewear wardrobes. Thanks to DEWEY’s brand new flared MIRA leggings, the extra petite girls can finally wear these trendy bottoms, without alterations or dragging hems.
With the right styling tricks, flared leggings can elongate your frame and add effortless flair to your outfit while remaining ultra-comfortable. A hallmark of many viral trends, flared leggings prove to be one of the most versatile pieces you could own. Here’s your curated go-to guide for rocking flared leggings as a shorter girl.
1. Look for high-waisted flares
High-waisted flared leggings are a game-changer for petite frames. They create the illusion of longer legs by drawing attention to your natural waistline. Pair them with a tucked-in top or a cropped vest for a balanced, lengthened look.
This “pink pilates princess” inspired look is extremely trendy right now, likely due to its flattering silhouette and complimentary pastel colours. With this outfit on, you’d walk into your next pilates class with buckets of confidence.
2. Pick the right length
Opt for flared leggings that just nearly miss the ground when paired with your favourite footwear. DEWEY’s MIRA leggings are an ideal choice as they were created with unique design features meant to suit a petite frame. Say goodbye to dragging leggings in 2025!
Elevate your athleisure for your hot-girl-walks by picking the right flared leggings, as demonstrated here. This DEWEY BAILEY crewneck is perfectly oversized on a petite body, with the flares providing a balanced, cohesive look.
3. Balance proportions with fitted tops
When wearing flared leggings, a cropped top or jumper can create a flattering contrast. These outfit formulas, playing with proportional balance, tend to enhance petite frames. However, we can’t deny the confidence we feel when wearing an oversized t-shirt or our favourite hoodie, so don't be afraid to mix it up!
When meeting your girls for brunch, you’d want a casual, yet put-together look, suitable for a cheeky mimosa and an eggs benedict. A fitted white t-shirt (like the DEWEY ALEX top here) and an oversized cosy cardigan enhances the sleek silhouette of the flares.
4. Play into versatility
Flared leggings are such a game-changing item, mostly due to their versatility. Just as comfortable as regular leggings, flares can be easily dressed up or down without sacrificing comfort. Style the flares with a pair of black mini-boots to create an effortlessly chic outfit for a holiday party or Christmas market.
Holidays were never this comfortable! In the cold weather (characteristic of the festive season) you’ll want to stay as cosy as possible while making a fashion statement. This burgundy jumper, elevated with the off-the-shoulder cut, can dress up any leggings and jumper combination. Pair with a sparkly bag and gold jewellery for maximum sophistication.

By choosing the right fit, balancing proportions, and adding a touch of personal flair, you can embrace this trend and make it your own. With these styling tips and the DEWEY MIRA leggings, flared leggings will likely be your go-to bottoms in the new year.
