Flare Leggings - Irish Army

What is Irish Army Flare Leggings - Irish Army?

Irish Army Flare Leggings – Irish Army are engineered for athletes and style-conscious shoppers who demand performance without sacrificing silhouette. Constructed from a blend of 75% recycled polyester and 25% elastane (US/Mexico version) or 74% recycled polyester and 26% elastane (Latvia version), the fabric weighs 225-250 g/m², offering a mild compression feel that smooths the midsection while allowing full range of motion. The high-waist, butt-lifting cut lifts and shapes the rear, and the flare from the knee down adds a retro-modern flair that works equally well in the gym, on a walk, or paired with a bomber jacket for casual outings. Integrated moisture-wicking technology pulls sweat away from the skin, and a UPF 50+ rating shields against harmful UV rays.

The material meets OEKO-TEX 100 standards, confirming it is free from harmful substances. A double-layered waistband houses a discreet interior pocket for small essentials. The leggings are designed with a soft, stretchy feel, yet the double-layered sections may subtly reveal inner-layer texture on lighter colors. Care instructions recommend gentle machine wash and avoidance of rough surfaces that could pull fibers.
