Enhance Your Performance: Gym & Workout Leggings (2024)

- Material – regular leggings tend to be made from a thinner cotton material, whereas gym leggings are made from thicker, more elastic materials that help absorb sweat and moisture.

- Fit – gym leggings are designed to mould to your silhouette and not interfere with your movement or stretching. Regular leggings tend to be a looser fit and can sometimes go baggy with lots of movement.

Length – workout leggings come in a variety of lengths. Most designs are to the ankle, but cropped leggings can vary from just under the knee to mid-calf. Cycling shorts are also made from similar materials to gym leggings. Regular leggings tend to be ankle length.

Workout leggings are designed for just that, working out. Whilst your gym leggings can be dressed for the everyday, it’s essential you wear leggings made for working out when exercising. They are designed with features to make your workout more comfortable and offer support, such as softer seams, higher waistlines and the ability to absorb moisture and sweat. This will help you achieve optimum performance.

All of our women's gym leggings are designed for an optimal work out, whether you're running, lifting weights or training for mobility. From Seamless Leggings to yoga pants, it can really vary between workouts.

The most flattering workout leggings depend on a lot of things, including your body shape and size, the type of workout you're doing and personal preference.

Our high-waisted gym leggings are a popular choice with our community, as they are breathable, designed to support you as you work out and flatter your physique. Whether you want to work out or chill out, this type of gym legging will work with you.

Another popular gym legging is the scrunched bum legging. They’re shape enhancing and figure flattering for those days you want to look extra good, without compromising on comfort.

Whether you're hitting the gym or going for a sportswear inspired look for a lunch-date with friends, there are so many ways to style gym leggings.

For a classic gym look, stay cool when you work out with a sports bra and a crop top. You can layer this with a hoodie. On warmer days, switch your full-length leggings for cropped gym leggings or even shorts.

For those chill out days, throw-it-back to a 90s inspired streetwear look with an oversized sweatshirt and your gym leggings tucked into your socks. When it’s time to layer up, throw on a big coat and your effortless chic look is complete.
