Leggings are an absolute staple in any active person's wardrobe. Whether you're going for a yoga class, a run, or maybe you just value everyday comfort, the right leggings will make a huge difference. But how do you recognize really good quality ones?
Not every pair of leggings will cope with intense workouts, provide adequate support, and remain in perfect condition after multiple washings. Today we suggest what to look for to make sure your choice is spot on.
1. The right material is essential
The most important element of any leggings is the fabric. It determines the comfort, durability and functionality of the product. Good quality leggings should be:
- Flexible – so they fit your figure and don’t restrict your movements,
- Breathable – provide air circulation and wick away moisture,
- Durable – won't pill or lose shape after washing.
A perfect example are our leggings , made of 87% micropolyester and 13% elastane . This composition guarantees both comfort and durability. Micropolyester perfectly wicks away sweat, and the addition of elastane makes the leggings perfectly fit the figure.
2. Different state variants – which one to choose?
Leggings are available in high, mid and low waist versions. The high waist provides better support and stability during dynamic exercises, but may not suit everyone. Mid-waist leggings are great for everyday wear, combining comfort with subtle support, while low-waist leggings are the perfect choice for those who value freedom and lightness.
3. No transparent material
Nothing spoils the comfort of wearing leggings like the effect of see-through material. Good quality leggings should pass the so-called squat test , meaning they should not be see-through when squatting or stretching. Thicker but still breathable fabric provides full coverage without the risk of uncomfortable situations.
4. Attention to detail – seams and finishing
Details make a huge difference. High-quality leggings have flat seams that do not cause abrasions or irritations even during intense exercise. It is also worth paying attention to the quality of the finish - well-sewn leggings do not have protruding threads or loose stitching.
5. Functionality – pockets, drawstrings and details
Sports leggings should be not only comfortable but also practical. It is worth paying attention to:
- Pockets – hidden in the waist or on the thighs, perfect for small items,
- Pullers – prevent the leggings from slipping during intense movement,
- Reflective elements – for greater safety during outdoor activities.
6. Length tailored to your needs
Not all leggings have to be the same length. Choose between:
- Full length - perfect for cooler days and intense workouts,
- 7/8 – for those who prefer slightly shorter models,
- Cycling shoes – perfect for summer and outdoor sports.
7. Sizing
A well-chosen size is key to comfort. It is worth paying attention to the specification of a given model, because some leggings may have larger or smaller sizes.
8. Quality vs. price – worth investing
Sometimes it's worth paying more for leggings that will last for years. Cheaper models quickly lose their shape, pill and become less comfortable. Investing in proven quality is a guarantee of durability and comfort.
