Long Tops With Leggings Is the ’80s Trend That’s Making a Major Comeback in 2025

All prod­ucts fea­tured on Glam­our are inde­pen­dent­ly select­ed by our edi­tors. How­ev­er, we may receive com­pen­sa­tion from retail­ers and/or from pur­chas­es of prod­ucts through these links.

Wear­ing long tops with leg­gings of all kinds, even stir­rups, is back. We know, we know: The out­fit com­bi­na­tion is so 1980s that it might feel intim­i­dat­ing to repli­cate, but we’ve also seen ’90s min­i­mal­ism and Y2K-tinged looks become cool again. And this retro out­fit idea is total­ly worth revis­it­ing: It’s a unique, eye-catch­ing com­bi­na­tion that looks very cool.

Design­ers and street style stars have been reviv­ing the long-top-and-leg­gings look in the past year so much that it’s clear this out­fit has been offi­cial­ly tak­en out of the time cap­sule. That doesn’t mean it’s old-fash­ioned, though. In fact, these fash­ion experts are show­ing us how to give the out­fit a mod­ern twist.

Here’s how the fash­ion pros are wear­ing long tops with leg­gings in 2025

Semi-trans­par­ent silk tops—especially ones with bal­loon or over­sized sleeves—that fall below the hips look incred­i­bly roman­tic when paired with bal­le­ri­na-inspired split-hem leg­gings or jeg­gings and match­ing bal­let flats. Ele­gant and the­atri­cal, just like ’80s fash­ion.
