What are leggings

Leggings are a type of ankle-length pants that fit snugly around the leg and are made of elastic materials.

Long before the adaptation of things in the everyday wardrobe, leggings were an element of men's sportswear for hunting or horseback riding. They were made of thin, specially crafted moose skin - from there the name came from.

Leggings quickly replaced pantaloons and, I must say, became an excellent alternative to them, because they did not constrain movements. In the women's wardrobe, they adapted only in the second half of the 20th century and what is interesting is that women used them as "outer" clothes, while men's leggings remained underwear. Then the products were no longer made of natural elk leather - it was replaced by modern materials.

How leggings should fit

With morphology and synonyms figured out - it's time to move on to practice. The first thing to consider is the planting of leggings. It depends on how stylish the outfit will be.

  • Degree of fit. Leggings are a tight-fitting item of clothing, so it is not permissible for parts of the product to be axed or hung. If you choose leggings not in size, they collect in the knee area and constantly sag in the inguinal region,

Degree of fit

  • Accurate hit in size. Do not go to extremes - small leggings cut into the skin, especially on the belt. It is uncomfortable and harmful to normal blood flow;
  • Landing. Ideal for everyday onions leggings with medium or high fit - they are much more comfortable to wear, and also - perfectly emphasize the beauty of the buttocks and thighs, while not distorting the proportions of the figure. Also, such leggings perfectly tighten problem areas - the sides, for example;
  • Loin. When trying on leggings, pay attention to the lower back - the thing should fit snugly to it and at the same time not cut into the skin. The behavior of the product in the lumbar region helps to determine whether you have chosen the right size and fit;
  • Length. Classic leggings should be up to the ankle - this is their standard length. Today there are other options, but the classic length is universal for all types of figures.

The size of the leggings is determined by measuring the girth of the waist and hips - the data obtained are correlated with the size grid.

Size chart

Please note that the average size grid is given, but it may vary slightly depending on the specific manufacturer or even model. The distribution of dimensions can be influenced by the amount of elastic fibers in the composition of the product, as well as the material from which it is made.

How to wear leggings properly

  • Be sexy in moderation. Tight leggings themselves are quite attractive, because they emphasize the silhouette of the female body. For this reason, it is not recommended to choose tops with frank cutouts paired with leggings, as well as a shortened too open top - then sexuality will be too much. The exceptions are sports kits, which include titles - tight sweatpants, and a top, but this option is designed for a fitness trip, and not a walk in the park;

Moderate sexuality

  • Be careful with your choice of shoes. Stilettos with heels of 15 cm paired with leggings will make you vulgar. You can wear heels, but it is better to choose pairs with a thick, steady rise. If there is no way without studs - choose an elongated top, which will smooth out the excessive tightness of the body;
  • Pay attention to the print. Now manufacturers offer different leggings - with abstract designs, leopard, lace, stripes. Remember the rule - the more problematic the legs, the calmer the color. Girls whose legs are not perfect, it is better to choose monochromatic models of leggings. Active print is suitable only for those who can boast of smooth, long, slender legs;

Without prints

  • Take into account fashion trends - they will help you create relevant images. If you do not want to rely on trends, choose classic black leggings - they are suitable for everyone and do not depend on trends.

When you want to diversify your wardrobe, take note of the main fashion trends in leggings:

  • Strips. Strips are a narrow strip of fabric at the bottom of the leggings that is fixed to the sole and helps keep the pants in tension. Leggings with strips are now one of the main trends and they have even been included in the latest collections by some brands - M_, Melitta Baumeister, Bally and others;

  • Skin. Leather leggings have been at their peak for a couple of years and are not going to give up their positions yet. Matte and patent shiny leather is suitable for girls with slender and naturally long legs;
  • Bright colors. Instead of black, burgundy or dark blue leggings, choose bright models of green, pink or blue, like the Sara Battaglia models at Milan Fashion Week;

Colored leggings

  • Knitted. Models made of knitted fabric with a scar are very similar to children's tights, which makes them look even nicer and more original.
