Women's Leggings

Leggings are tight-fitting pants that fit snugly on the hips and legs and can be made from a range of materials. They were once worn as underwear but have become popular as outerwear for casual wear, gym attire and even as a comfortable layering option underneath skirts or dresses. The modern style of leggings was popularized by Jane Fonda in the 1980s with her aerobics workout videos. Her shiny disco pants look blended the glamour of 70s spandex with comfort and ease, spawning a new generation of exercise leggings that would later inspire the athleisure (athletic + leisure) trend of today.

Legging fabrics include cotton, wool and elastic polyesters, with some varieties of leggings incorporating other materials like leather and faux fur to create a sexy and chic outfit. It's important to choose the right size of leggings - too tight and they'll be uncomfortable, but too loose and you risk seeing skin that isn't covered by the fabric.

Jeggings are a form of leggings that are designed to look like jeans, with a blend of spandex and denim. Pair them with a top and jacket for the ultimate casual weekend outfit. You can also dress up leggings with a pair of boots or heels to take the outfit into the office, though this will depend on your workplace's dress code policies. Leggings can be found in a variety of colors and patterns, but the best way to get a flattering look is to choose black opaque leggings. These are flattering on most women because they are darker and less transparent.women's bamboo leggings
