As someone with short legs, flared pants are one of my go-to style hacks for elongating my limbs. But, when shopping for this style, it takes a lot of trial and error—and sometimes even a tailor—to get the right fit. I run into the most issues with athleisure leggings since they are often too long and with too wide of a flare silhouette and, ultimately, make my ankles look like they’re drowning in material (not to mention: ruin the hemlines from dragging on the floor). But, while recently scouring Lululemon’s website for some fall staples, I found what just might be the best flare leggings for short legs.
The Best Lululemon Flare Leggings for Fall
Lululemon Align High-Rise Mini-Flare Pants $118 Buy Now The Lululemon Align High-Rise Mini-Flare Pants are some of the best leggings I have ever tried—and I live in athleisure. Similar to other Align styles, the pants are made from the most buttery soft and flexible fabric that feels supportive without restricting. I love that the high-rise fit also offers some slight tummy control, too. As someone with short legs, I usually end up swimming in flared leggings because they’re not only too long but too wide at the ankles and ultimately end up bunching up in a way that feels a bit hazardous.
Since these are “mini” flares, they don’t use as much material and give off that flared look without dragging on the floor. Usually, I have to wear chunky platform sneakers or running shoes to balance out the material (and prevent some of the hemlines from dragging), but I found I was able to get away with wearing my favorite pair of flat Cariuma Salvas sneakers and still had about half an inch before they hit the floor.

What We’re Wearing With Our Lululemon Flare Leggings This Season
The Lululemon Align High-Rise Mini-Flare Pants are at the center of some of my go-to athleisure looks this fall, and I have worn them with everything from a pair of white sneakers and a longline sports bra to an oversized sweater and shearling-lined slippers. But, there are a couple more Lululemon fall staples that go perfectly with these flared leggings.
Lululemon Rain Rebel Jacket $228 Buy Now “I ordered this rain jacket before leaving for an end-of-summer trip to Dublin, Ireland, and I am so glad I did. The lightweight rain jacket is one of the nicest rain jackets I’ve ever slipped on. I love that it’s light enough that you can wear it in summer storms without overheating, but is also roomy enough to layer over bulky sweaters in the fall. The jacket also boasts impressive waterproof features and is super quick to dry, which was appreciated while traveling. Plus, the interior is lined with a sweat-wicking material (I expect nothing else from an athleisure brand), so you can ward off moisture from perspiration, too. It also features a hidden zippered pocket on the inside that can fit your phone for safe keeping from a storm.” — Jessie Quinn, Contributing Commerce Writer

Lululemon Softstreme Perfectly Oversized Cropped Crew $118 Buy Now “I find myself reaching for the Softstreme Perfectly Oversized Cropped Crew whenever I have a soccer game, flight, or other low-key physical activity. I love its oversized fit and the way it’s technically cropped but not so cropped that it shows stomach. It covers everything and is super smooth to the touch. I’d recommend it for any activity that involves some movement but you still want to look put-together and stylish. While I have this top in Black, I can feel the Espresso colorway calling my name.” — Katie Decker-Jacoby, Associate E-commerce Editor
