Leggings for Every Day and Every Workout
A great pair of leggings does double duty: they move with you through a workout and pull an off duty outfit together in seconds. The right pair holds you comfortably, stays opaque through every stretch and bend, and keeps its shape wash after wash. Our leggings for women span high waist basics, flares, capris and cosy fleece lined styles, so you can build a rotation for the gym, errands and everything between. The best pair feels like a second skin, moving freely with you without rolling at the waist or sliding down mid stride.
Types of Leggings
A short lineup covers almost every activity and season.
- High waist black leggings. Classic black leggings with a high, supportive waistband are the everyday workhorse that pairs with anything.
- Flare leggings. Flare leggings open out below the knee for a leg lengthening, retro line that works with trainers or flats.
- Capri leggings. A cropped capri leggings length that hits mid calf, ideal for warmer workouts.
- Fleece lined leggings. Fleece lined leggings add a soft, warm inner layer for cold weather and outdoor days.
- Compression leggings. Compression leggings offer a firmer, supportive hold for training and recovery.
- Buttery soft. Seamless, brushed styles that feel smooth and light for yoga and lounging.
Choosing the Right Leggings
Start with the job. For the gym, look for a supportive high waistband, a fabric with good stretch and recovery, and an opaque, squat proof knit that stays put. For everyday wear, softness and a flattering rise matter most. A wide, high waistband tends to stay put best and gives a smooth line under tops, while a slightly thicker fabric usually feels more supportive and stays opaque. Check the length against your height, since a full length pair should hit the ankle and a capri leggings style should sit at mid calf. When you are between sizes, our size guide helps you compare measurements, and extended fits live in our plus size edit.
How to Style Leggings
- Athleisure. Pair high waist leggings with a sports bra and a cropped tee. Browse our activewear.
- Casual. Wear black leggings under an oversized sweater with trainers or boots.
- Elevated. Style flare leggings with a fitted top and a longline coat.
- Layered. Add a tunic or longer top for extra coverage and comfort.
Fabrics, Compression and the Squat Test
Most leggings blend nylon or polyester with elastane, which is what gives them stretch, recovery and that supportive feel. Leggings started as simple fitted legwear and have grown into a performance staple. Compression leggings use a firmer knit for support, while fleece lined leggings trap warmth for cold days. Whatever the fabric, do a quick squat test in the mirror to check they stay opaque before your first workout, since a matte, thicker knit usually passes more easily than a thin, shiny one.
Care for Your Leggings
Performance fabrics last longest with a little care. Wash leggings inside out on cold, skip the fabric softener since it coats the fibres and reduces stretch, and hang or lay them to dry rather than using high heat. Washing them after sweaty workouts keeps them fresh, and drying them away from direct heat protects the elastane so they hold their shape and support for far longer. Turn them inside out before washing to protect any print and keep the waistband elastic in good condition.
