Women's Leggings
Women's leggings are popular for their comfort, flexibility, and suitability for various outdoor activities, the gym, and yoga.
Leggings for Outdoor Activities
Leggings designed for outdoor activities are typically made from moisture-wicking, breathable, and durable materials. They are great for activities like hiking, climbing, and running. Key features include:
- Moisture-Wicking: Outdoor leggings are designed to wick away sweat to keep you dry during physical activities.
- Durability: They are often reinforced at high-stress areas to withstand rough terrain.
- Compression: Some outdoor leggings provide compression to reduce muscle fatigue and improve blood circulation.
Depending on the activity, pair leggings with a hoodie, active top, tank top, or t-shirt and a pair of good outdoor footwear.
Leggings for the Gym
Gym and yoga leggings prioritize comfort, flexibility, and breathability. Key features include:
- Stretch: Workout leggings offer excellent stretch and flexibility to accommodate a wide range of movements. For yoga, look for four-way stretch.
- High Rise or Foldable Waistbands: They often feature high-rise waistbands or foldable options for extra comfort.
Workout leggings pair well with activewear shirts, t-shirts, and tank tops.
Types of Leggings
Capri leggings are shorter, typically ending just below the knee or mid-calf. They are great for warm weather or for those who prefer more breathability. 7/8 length leggings fall between full-length and capri, ending just above the ankle. They provide a stylish and versatile option. Shorts leggings (or bike shorts) are like shorts but in a legging style. They are great for hot weather, indoor cycling, and can be a trendy addition to your casual wear.
