A Guide to Different Types of Leggings: Choosing the Perfect Pair for Each Collection
Leggings have become a wardrobe staple for many, offering both comfort and style. With their versatility and ease of wear, leggings have transcended from athletic apparel to everyday fashion wear. However, the plethora of options available in the market can be overwhelming. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through the different types of leggings, helping you find the perfect pair for every client.
Basic Leggings:
The classic basic leggings are the foundation of any legging collection. They are typically made from a stretchy, soft fabric like cotton or spandex, providing a snug fit and full coverage. You can give them a peach finish for extra softness. Basic leggings are perfect for casual outings, lounging at home, or as a base layer during colder months. They come in various colors and can easily be paired with oversized sweaters, t-shirts, or tunics for a relaxed and effortless look.
Yoga Leggings/Yoga Pants:
Yoga leggings (also known as yoga pants) are designed to move with your body, providing flexibility and comfort during yoga sessions or other low-impact exercises. They often feature moisture-wicking properties to keep you dry and cool during workouts. We manufacture yoga pants with a high-rise waistband for added support and a secure fit during bending and stretching movements.
Athletic Leggings:
For intense workouts or high-impact activities, athletic leggings are the go-to choice. Constructed from performance fabrics like nylon, polyester, or spandex blends, they offer excellent compression and moisture-wicking capabilities. Athletic leggings often have reinforced seams and durable materials to withstand rigorous movements and repeated use.
Luxury Leggings:
You can offer luxury leggings in your collection by upgrading the fabric to Nylon such as N6 or N66, and adding using lycra instead of spandex in the mix. Lycra is the most premium material on the market for offering stretchiness and recovery. The more premium the material, the more luxury the level of your leggings.
Printed Leggings & Jacquard Leggings:
Printed leggings and jacquard leggings add a fun and trendy element to your wardrobe. From vibrant patterns to subtle designs, printed leggings allow you to showcase your personal style. You can find a wide variety of design, including floral, geometric, animal prints, and more. Pair your collection with solid-colored tops to let the leggings be the statement piece in your outfit.
Athleasure Leggings:
For a chic and edgy look, athleasure leggings are a fashionable choice. They add a touch of sophistication and can easily transition from day to night.
High-Waisted Leggings:
High-waisted leggings have gained popularity for their flattering fit and tummy control. The waistband sits above the natural waistline, providing a slimming effect and ensuring the leggings stay in place during movement. High-waisted leggings are a versatile option that pairs well with a matching sports bra.
Compression Leggings:
Compression leggings offer targeted support and muscle stabilization, making them ideal for athletes and those seeking enhanced circulation during workouts. The graduated compression technology helps reduce muscle fatigue and aids in faster recovery after exercise.
Capri Leggings:
Capri leggings offer all the features of any of the above but are shorter in length. You can make them either very athletic or very athleasure by choice of fabric and construction. They can be matched with fitness t-shirts or sports bras.
