Long blouses and leggings: The 80s trend is back – how it will be styled in 2025

Long blouses and leggings are being combined again – the 80s-style combo is so beautiful and modern.

From classic leggings to slit models and stirrup styles, these comfortable pants are a wonderful addition to 90s minimalism or Y2K- inspired outfits.

This summer, leggings find a special styling partner: long blouses. Combining both pieces creates a cool '80s-inspired retro look that's also light and airy, making it perfect for both the office and a bike ride to the lake. VOGUE shows you the most beautiful styling ideas, which also demonstrate how versatile the combination of a long blouse and leggings is for summer 2025.

Here, the different layers and lengths of the individual pieces create an interesting look: The short capri leggings are combined with a long black blouse, over which a light cardigan and a classic jacket are styled.

Classic shirt blouse with leggings with stirrup

A black blazer and white shirt are paired with stirrup leggings. Of course, the look would have worked with regular leggings, but the stirrup detail and heeled mules add a more elegant touch.

Cape blouse with classic leggings

Cape-style blouses have already graced several Spring/Summer 2024 collections. This year, they're not only the key to a sophisticated look or a dramatic accent, but also to an '80s-inspired style.
