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.
