Women's Leggings: the characteristics

In the 80s and 90s they called them fuseaux. Made with bright colors, they were used strictly for fitness. Now the leggings have unhinged the rules of fashion and have become an indispensable garment. They cause sharp divisions, either you hate them or you love them madly. But one thing is indisputable: their convenience.

Their main features are:
* versatility you can combine them with everything, mini dresses, long sweaters, oversized shirts, skirts and miniskirts;
* evergreen there is no season that holds, it is always the perfect time to wear a pair of leggings;
* occasion of use from casual to elegant, passing through sports, every situation has its leggings to show off.

But choosing the perfect leggings for you requires attention and care of some fundamental aspects. Let's see what they are.

1 # CREATE THE RIGHT MATCHES

First, don't consider leggings like regular pants. They are a hybrid of the latter ie tights, which is why they must be rethought in a different way, just like a second skin. In fact, they leave nothing to the imagination, unlike trousers which, depending on the cut, camouflage defects and enhance strengths. But that doesn't mean you have to do without it.
Just put in place some tricks and create the right combinations. So, go ahead for oversized sweaters, as well as for dresses with an "A" or "balloon" cut. In this way, leggings become an accessory similar to tights, but definitely more glamorous and captivating.

2 # FANTASIES, better MICRO

When you find yourself having to choose the fantasy of your leggings do not get carried away by enthusiasm. Ponder your choices carefully. As with clothing, stripes have pros and cons: thin and vertical ones tend to streamline and lengthen the figure, on the contrary the horizontal ones emphasize and accentuate the size, shortening the lengths.
As far as printed leggings are concerned, it is always better to opt for micro patterns: objects that are too large increase the size.

3 # BLACK LEGGINGS = ✅ PERFECTION

Do you have doubts about fantasies? Play it safe with black. A pair of black women's leggings is the absolute must. They look good on everyone, without distinction. You can combine them with any other dress and they are the ultimate look-saver.

4 # MID-CALF LEGGINGS: ❌to avoid

As we have seen, leggings have a single flaw: they do not forgive imperfections. All the more reason the mid-calf leggings do nothing but shorten the lengths. Better to avoid them and, if you really have them in the closet, use them for physical activity.

5 # LEGGINGS vs SHOES

With leggings, shoes make the difference. Perfect to combine with boots and ankle boots, but depending on the occasion you can also combine them with high heels, sandals or ballet flats. One thing is certain, the higher the heel, the greater the momentum given to the leg.

6 # FABRICS vs LEGGINGS

The innovative fabrics with which the leggings are made shape the figure and in particular the most critical points. Without painful constrictions, but rather, also bringing benefits to the legs and circulation. Precisely for these reasons they are practical and functional not only for sports, but also for sedentary activities such as long days in the office or for your daily life.
Elegant, casual or sporty look? Leggings are always the right answer.


7 # HOW TO CHOOSE THE LEGGINGS for sport?

If you are looking for sporty leggings, here are the features you shouldn't give up.
Women's leggings are the best choice as a sportswear: they facilitate movements without annoying constraints. If you have decided to buy a pair of leggings to practice sports, however, you must take into account some details.

First, the cotton leggings (I don't prefer them, personal opinion) are soft and comfortable. You can use them if you are mainly dedicated to soft training: gentle gymnastics and walking. It is always better to opt for seamless and high-waisted models for optimal hold.
If, on the other hand, you dedicate yourself to a more intensive training, of the cardio type, then you will have to choose a technical fabric characterized by a higher level of compression that increases blood circulation and promotes recovery. Prefer light fabrics, which promote perspiration and keep you dry during training: lycra, spandex, polyester or polyamide, the most suitable fibers.
One aspect you need to pay attention to when choosing your sports leggings is about transparency. To prevent underwear from being glimpsed during training, always remember to choose leggings in opaque and non-transparent fabric. It can happen with both light and dark colors. It all depends on the fabric.
And finally, even in sports, black leggings are an evergreen: they slim and lengthen the figure. But for those who love colors, there are a great variety of super colorful models. In short, there is just the embarrassment of choice.

Leggings should fit perfectly, as comfortable as a second skin. Finding the ideal ones for you may take some time. But with this mini-guide it should now be easier to understand how to choose the best women's leggings based on the activity you need to do.
