Find Your Perfect Leggings: The Complete Guide
High-rise, mid-rise, seamless or textured — here's how to pick the pair built for your training.
Finding the perfect pair of leggings is a deeply personal journey. Whether you're hitting a HIIT class, going for a long run or flowing through a yoga session, the right leggings can make all the difference.
The most important factors to consider are rise (high-rise vs mid-rise), fabric (seamless vs woven), compression level, and waistband style. High-rise leggings are the most popular choice right now — they offer core support, stay in place during dynamic movement, and are flattering on most body types.
For weightlifting and strength training, look for a thick, compressive fabric with minimal seaming at the thigh. Our Velocity Seamless Leggings are a favourite here — four-way stretch with zero chafing.
For running, prioritise moisture-wicking fabrics, reflective details if you run outdoors, and a waistband with a phone pocket. Flare leggings like our Stride Flare are having a moment for studio cardio.
For yoga and pilates, a softer, more flexible fabric wins. You want freedom of movement without restriction, and ideally an opaque fabric that stays opaque even in deep stretches.
Whatever your training style, investing in quality leggings pays off. Cheaper leggings often lose their shape, pill, or go see-through after a few washes. A solid pair from a trusted brand will last years.
