We're huge fans of all forms of physical activity, but Pilates holds a special place in our hearts. The fluid movements, the focus on breathing, and the incredible results you see after just a few weeks of regular practice... Wonderful, isn't it?
But to fully enjoy your Pilates workout, you need the right outfit. Today, we'll tell you why it's worth investing in good sports leggings and what features to look for when choosing the perfect model for Pilates.
Pilates - gentle but demanding
Before we move on to the topic of leggings, it's worth recalling what Pilates actually is and why it places specific demands on our attire.
Pilates is a training method that combines controlled movement, conscious breathing, and precision. During classes, we perform numerous postures in which our bodies stretch, twist, and bend. Often, we must hold a stable position for extended periods, while at other times we must smoothly transition from one position to another.
Now imagine being in the perfect position, feeling your core muscles working... and suddenly you have the urge to pull up your leggings that are slipping down or adjust the material that's digging in all the wrong places. Totally out of your element, right?
What is the most important thing in Pilates leggings?
1. Flexibility that gives you freedom
During Pilates, we perform many movements that require complete freedom. Leg extensions, bridges, spine rolls... your leggings have to keep up! That's why at LIGAS, we focus on materials that stretch in all directions while maintaining their shape.
We know what it's like to work out in regular cotton leggings... After 15 minutes, you feel like you're fighting your clothes more than your own limitations. Don't make that mistake!
2. High waist - comfort and support
You know what's super annoying? When you're doing a bridge pose or stretching, the waistband of your leggings slides down or bunches up unsightly across your stomach. That's why high-waisted leggings are an absolute must-have for Pilates!
A well-designed high waist not only looks great, but above all:
- Provides support for the abdominal muscles
- Helps maintain correct posture
- It won't slip off even during the most demanding positions.
- It gives a sense of security and comfort
At LIGAS, we pay special attention to the high waist - it is flexible, but at the same time stable, so you don't have to think about adjusting your clothes and can fully focus on the exercises.
3. Material that "breathes"
Although Pilates isn't as cardio-intensive as running, we do sweat during the workout. Therefore, Pilates leggings should be made of breathable material that:
- It wicks moisture away from the body
- Dries quickly
- Does not cause a feeling of overheating
- It is pleasant to the touch
Avoid leggings with a high cotton content – although they're soft to the touch, they absorb sweat and become heavy. Blends with polyester or polyamide and elastane are much better.
4. Seamless or flat seams - zero irritation
During Pilates, we often lie on our backs, sides, or stomachs. Imagine being in that position with a seam pressing against your back... Not very pleasant, is it?
That's why flat seams, or even better, seamless construction, are so important. At LIGAS, we pay close attention to this detail because we know how much it can spoil your workout experience.
5. Opacity - complete psychological comfort
Doing a deep squat and wondering if your leggings are really opaque? I know that feeling! It can be truly distracting.
All our leggings undergo the "squat test"—we check that the material remains opaque even when stretched to its maximum. This ensures you feel confident in any position.
Mistakes worth avoiding
Over the years of testing different leggings while creating the LIGAS collection, we've noticed a few traps that women fall into when choosing Pilates attire:
- Leggings that are too tight can restrict circulation and freedom of movement.
- Too loose models - they will slip and get in the way
- Too thin material - it will wear out quickly and may be transparent
- Large decorative elements - may cause discomfort when lying on the mat
- Inappropriate length - too short they can roll up, too long - they wrinkle at the ankle
How to match leggings to your figure?
Everyone is different, and what works for one person won't necessarily be ideal for another. That's why at LIGAS, we offer a variety of styles to suit different body types:
- For pear-shaped women - models with slimming seams on the sides
- For an apple shape - a higher waist with stronger support around the abdomen
- For the hourglass figure - models that emphasize the waist
- For a rectangular figure - leggings with details that add volume to the hips
Pilates leggings care
To make your favorite leggings last as long as possible, it's worth taking proper care of them:
- Wash them at low temperature (30-40°C)
- Use gentle detergents without fabric softeners
- Avoid the tumble dryer
- Don't iron your leggings (you really don't need to!)
- Store folded, not on a hanger
Summary
When choosing Pilates leggings, look for ones that:
- They are flexible and do not restrict movement.
- They have a high, stable condition
- They are made of breathable material
- They have flat seams or a seamless construction
- They remain opaque in any position
At LIGAS, we created a brand with women like you in mind – active, conscious, and who value both comfort and appearance. Our sports leggings meet all the requirements of the perfect Pilates outfit, and the added bonus is the fashionable colors and patterns that will make you feel feminine and stylish even during your workout.
Remember that good quality leggings are an investment in your comfort and the enjoyment of your workout. And when training is enjoyable, it's easier to maintain regularity, which is key to visible results!
