Sports leggings

Be free to move while playing sports and look good at the same time? Sports leggings make this a walk in the park. The tight fitness bottoms let you shine during every workout. Whether black, coloured or brightly patterned, everything goes. The main thing is that it's fun. But sports leggings are not all the same. Depending on whether you are exercising outdoors, on equipment or on a mat, there are different things to consider. We reveal what you should look for in running, yoga and fitness leggings.

For running

The sun is shining, the road is tempting - so put on your running shoes and go! Does your path lead you through the forest or along quiet country lanes? You can really switch off while running and clear your head. But just to be on the safe side, you'll want to have your cell phone handy. Therefore, sports leggings with a mobile phone pocket are ideal for running. For this, there is often a small zip pocket in the back of the waistband. Other models have a sewn-on mobile phone pocket on the thigh. Both are super convenient. So is a zip on the bottom hem. This allows you to let more air in during the summer and protects your ankles from icy cold in the winter. Reflective stripes also provide more safety when running on the road. With it you will be seen even at twilight. 

Yoga studio

With yoga you gain new strength and more flexibility. Of course, the sports bottoms have to keep up with that. With lizard pose and similar contortions you quickly realise how important the fit is. Therefore, for yoga, leggings with a high-waist are ideal. They support you even in the most challenging positions. After all, in this sport you want to focus on your breathing, not on whether your trousers are slipping. Plus it's only possible to relax properly when nothing is digging in. That's why as few and flat seams as possible make for a good pair of yoga leggings. For sweaty hot yoga, you might find three-quarter leggings more comfortable than ankle-length ones. And to protect your mat, you should definitely wear leggings without zips to yoga, pilates etc..

Gym leggings

Whether you're working out on the machines at the gym or working up a sweat doing step aerobics, stylish sports leggings are a must-have. It is important that nothing slips and that there are no sweat marks on the trousers. Cut-outs and transparent inserts serve as eye-catchers for black or plain-coloured leggings. Bright prints and strong colours are also great. They help to boost the mood during training. If you like to wear a sports bra on top, high-waisted leggings create a great look. With a sewn-in pocket you always have your mobile phone with you and can share all your successes.

FAQs

Do leggings slip?

This can happen, especially if you wear them in the wrong size. If the leggings are too small, the waistband does not sit optimally. At the same time, the fabric pulls downwards, where it is less under tension. Is that the case? Then try the trousers one size bigger. Leggings that are too big, on the other hand, simply lack support. The waistband sits too loose and when moving the leggings slip. Better to take a pair of these one size smaller. If your sports leggings are often rather tight at the legs, but too loose at the waist, buy a pair that you can also tie!

Can leggings be see-through?

High-quality sports leggings made of synthetic fibres are usually opaque. Under certain circumstances, however, it may be that something does shine through. If the leggings are a little too small and the fabric is under a lot of tension, this can happen. Therefore, always buy sports leggings in the right size. This also has a direct effect on the wearing comfort. Things look a little different with cotton leggings. They can be slightly transparent, especially white leggings. Here it's best to wear matching underwear. With white leggings, your underwear should be an appropriate nude colour. For darker shades, a similar colour to that of the trousers is a safe choice.

What should I wear under sports leggings?

With garments that are very tight-fitting, the question of the right underwear often comes up. This is especially the case with sports. Here, you often wear short tops and move a lot. If it bothers you that the underwear underneath the sports leggings is showing, wear a plain thong. There is also special functional underwear with very flat seams. This is actually for comfort, but is also a good solution visually. At the same time, these briefs are breathable and dry faster.
