Prepare to See These Provocative New Leggings on Every Fashion Girl
Remember Jonathan Simkhai's first activewear collaboration with Carbon38, back in January? Well, the designer is back at it with fresh pieces, and we're obsessed anew. The latest collection features incredibly chic sports bras, jackets, and more, but the forward-thinking leggings may be our favorite part. As we predicted earlier this year, the corset legging trend is definitely taking off, but Simkhai just took it to the next level with these pieces.
Boasting lace-up, corset-inspired detailing at the waist and legs, the leggings definitely make a statement. Team them with the matching sports bras and you have the basically coolest activewear outfit imaginable—perfect for looking stylish and fulfilling your New Year's resolution to work out more.
