FULL-LENGTH, MID-CALF, HIGH-WAIST - HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT LEGGINGS FOR EACH SPORT

Leggings come in many different lengths and are made with a variety of materials, 

so it’s important that you pick the right pair of for each activity. 

LEGGINGS ARE PERFECT FOR YOGA, PILATES, CARDIO/WEIGHT TRAINING AND RUNNING.

Choosing the right leggings for each sport may seem like a daunting task at first, but with a few helpful hints, you’ll figure it out in no time. One thing to consider: this sports wardrobe essential should feel like a second skin. 

Here are our tips for finding the right fit for each activity. 

The leggings you wear for a cardio workout should be made from a light, stretchy, breathable fabric. You’ll want enough compression to withstand your highest-intensity workout, but you don’t want to be drenched in sweat when it’s done. 

Light, breathable fabric that dries quickly and offers optimal comfort.

A non-transparent option for full coverage.

Light, stretchable fabric that lets you move freely.

Exterior pocket to hold your phone or keys.

Circuit-training leggings are made from a synthetic fabric that wicks away moisture to help keep you dry during your workout. They also fit tightly around the leg muscles for increased durability during high-intensity workouts.

Limited friction on the skin due to a snug fit.

Breathable fabric to keep you more dry.

A slim fit to hug your shape.

Fabric made with spandex for more ease of movement.

Go for seamless leggings with a wide waistband for optimal comfort during your Pilates, stretching and low-impact workout sessions. With less compression, these leggings are still very stretchable and allow for a large range of movement. 

The fabric is primarily made from soft, comfortable cotton. 

Just a touch of spandex for added stretchability. 

A slim fit to hug your shape. 

For yoga sessions, you’ll want leggings that are opaque, breathable, stretchy and seamless for optimal comfort and freedom of movement. A high-waist cut is great for keeping things in place during those upside down and downward dog poses.

Made with spandex for extra stretchability. 

A high waist covers the stomach without being too tight.

Made with organically-grown cotton. 

Slim fit to hug your shape. 

Running tights are made with extra compression to give your muscles a snug fit that feels like a second skin, encourages blood circulation and wicks away moisture as you move. Go for a high-waist cut for optimal support while you run.

If you’re running when it’s dark outside, choose leggings with reflective elements so that you’ll be visible to others. Safety first! 

Tip: Even if you’re more into speed-walking, you can still go for the same leggings as your marathon-running pals. ;)

Technical fabric offers great protection from the cold. 

The fabric keeps you more dry and comfortable. 

A wide waistband with adjustable cord keeps the leggings in place while you run. 

No seams on the inner leg to create unwanted friction.
