Everyday style: how to choose leggings.
Leggings came to us from the 80s. They are suitable for both everyday wardrobe and sports. The selection criteria will vary. What a woman buys under a coat, tunic or jacket is not suitable for effective fitness. Leggings are definitely a versatile piece. However, here, too, certain selection criteria should be adhered to, depending on for what purpose and for what style you want to purchase fashionable leggings.
Leggings for sports.
When doing physical exercise, a woman should not interfere with anything. Clothes are chosen, first of all, comfortable, and then they look at the aesthetic side. Although it also takes place, because if a woman does not like herself in sportswear, she will not be comfortable doing it.
Leggings should have a high waist and hip hips. This will help control the proportionate work of the abdominal muscles, hips and abs. It is better to choose the length to the ankle, otherwise the leggings will bully and interfere with the workout. Leggings are chosen exactly in size, small pants will pull your legs and constantly slip. The large model will be collected under the knees and ankles. These leggings do not fit the body well and distract from exercise.
It is important to choose the right fabric for leggings. The body during training must breathe and not accumulate moisture, otherwise rashes and irritations on the skin cannot be avoided. The fabric should keep its shape. When performing exercises, a woman should feel the work of muscles. Today, the following materials are the most common:
Elastane – slims the body well and allows muscle control. The fabric has high elasticity, can grow up to 8 times and come back to its original state when the load decreases. Base – polyurethane fiber;
Taktel. Products made of this material are comfortable, elastic, resistant to abrasion, and have the effect of a second skin. It is based on a polyamide thread;
Meryl. The fabric is pleasant to the touch. It is soft and smooth, absorbs moisture and breathes well, which is important when exercising. Thread – polyamide with the addition of cotton;
D.I.W.O. The fabric is two-layer, breathes well, will not allow a woman to hypothermia during workouts. She keeps the temperature balance of the body well;
Cotton is the most environmentally friendly material, but it wears out quickly, and therefore products lose their shape. Cotton leggings are the go-to choice for yoga.
Leggings for everyday wardrobe.
Leggings are designed to make women’s legs slimmer and more attractive. For these purposes, choose leggings of a certain model, length, print and material. For owners of chubby legs, it is better to choose leggings of great length, approximately to the ankles. Capri pants, knee-length leggings or long pants will look good on slender legs. To keep the legs from looking too thin, choose the appropriate pattern and material.
Leggings have a higher density than tights, maintain their shape, hide figure flaws. In 2019, leggings made of leather or a material that imitates it will be fashionable. Leather goes well with soft colored clothing. Suitable not only for slender legs. Leggings can be decorated with rhinestones on the sides, have more elastic inserts.
Elastane leggings look good on not very slender legs. They can have a design of trousers: with pockets, fasteners, arrows. They can be worn with an elegant top or loose-fitting clothing. For slender women, any shade will do. For those who have an imperfect figure, it is better to choose black.
Leggings made of wool and elastane will be cozy, warm and attractive. Ethnic ornaments are in fashion. For not very slender women, it is better not to choose them. They can make your legs even bigger. Cotton and lycra leggings are pleasant and comfortable, but they do not hold the shape of the legs very well and are not resistant to abrasion. Leggings can be worn with any footwear except sneakers. Leggings look good with high-heeled shoes, with ballet flats, with boots. Sneakers can be worn with leggings that are intended for sports activities only.
