Perhaps she's always one second away from working out or somehow skipped Blair Waldorf's Gossip Girl speech [1], but Gigi Hadid seems determined to prove, once and for all, that leggings actually can be worn as pants. Gigi might have a model body, but seeing how many times she's fearlessly worn these babies [2] in public has got us thinking: are the days of the stigma surrounding leggings [3] about to be over? If that's the case, quite frankly, we're relieved. What woman hasn't woken up on a Monday morning and groaned at the thought of shimmying into a tight pair of jeans? In the end, it all comes down to styling. See how Gigi has been wearing hers [4], then shop similar items for yourself — if you dare.
