Why Do Girls Worldwide Love Leggings So Much?

No matter a women’s age or lifestyle, leggings have become a common sight to see in pretty much any female wardrobe- providing versatility and comfort for any informal occasion!

Whether you’re someone who works out or someone who’s never trained, leggings can benefit your life…let’s take a look at why leggings have gained such a widespread global popularity!

Comfort!

This one’s pretty self-explanatory!- leggings provide a soft and stretchy layer that rests directly on top of the legs. This activewear piece will keep it shape all day- with this in mind, leggings do not require the need for adjusting whilst training, a problem that other activewear pieces like shorts, however, may pose.

Temperature control!

Leggings can keep us warm, through providing an additional layer of insulation, however,  they can also help to cool us down during training! Advancements in sports technology have led to legging material that is ‘breathable’, meaning excess body heat has a way to travel out while we train.

Fashion!

Wearing leggings is not something that’s restricted to belonging within the walls of fitness environments- they have become a statement fashion piece, one that combines aesthetic and chic with the empowerment of our natural shape and curves! Everybody is now wearing them!

Multi-Purpose

The versatility of leggings is a massive factor behind them having such a wide global appeal! They provide an aesthetic means of comfort, making them a solid choice for day-to-day activities like a shopping trip. When it comes to working out, they bring numerous perks such as, making us more streamlined, controlling body temperature, durability and flexibility!

What To Look Out For When Buying Leggings To Train In

Features to look out for when on the hunt for leggings for training are pretty different to what to consider when seeking leggings for day-to-day use. If chosen well, the right leggings can have a have massively positive impact on your training activities! Here’s our breakdown on the key features to look at when shopping for leggings to train in:

High Waisted Fit

High waisted leggings can contribute significantly with supporting our body and keeping us comfy while we train. The high waist fit keeps everything in place and gives our core a supportive layer!

Breathability

Leggings come in all types of materials, all the way from cotton to leather. For training purposes, the best legging materials are synthetic fabrics! When looking at different leggings it’s important to keep an eye of for breathability features- this feature can maximise your training through facilitating temperature control whilst we train.

Flexibility

As we’ve just mentioned, a lot of gym leggings are made out of synthetic materials. With this in mind, certain brands still advertise leggings made from tougher materials as being suitable for training purposes- these are leggings to avoid! Flexibility is a key component that effective training maximised. In order to execute full ranges of motion, our leggings must be made from flexibility maximising materials.

Durability

Repetitive movements come in many forms, from squatting to skipping. Though these exercises are great, if wearing leggings made from flimsy material, these movements can lead to wear and tear. With this in mind, durability is a key feature to consider when buying leggings.
