How to choose leggings and tights
The first thing to check is squat-proof opacity. A good legging uses a thick, dense knit that stays completely non-see-through when you bend, lunge or sit, so you can train with confidence. Pair that with four-way stretch and a moisture-wicking fabric that moves sweat away from the skin, and you have a legging that performs from warm-up to final set.
Waistband and rise change how the legging feels. A high-waisted style sits at or above the navel for core coverage and a secure, no-slip fit, which most lifters and yogis prefer. A wide, supportive waistband stays put through deep movement without digging in or rolling down, while compression fabrics add muscle support and a streamlined silhouette.
Length and use: training vs lifting vs running
Choose your length to suit the session and the season:
- Full-length leggings for studio work, lifting and cooler weather coverage
- 7/8 and cropped lengths for warm days, a flattering ankle break and easy mobility
- Compression tights for running and high-intensity work where support matters most
For lifting and squats, prioritise opacity and a firm waistband. For running, lean towards lighter, breathable compression with a secure pocket for your essentials.
Fit and care
Leggings should feel snug but not restrictive, with no gaping at the waist or sheerness when stretched. To keep the elastane springy and the knit opaque, wash cold, turn them inside out, skip fabric softener and air dry. Avoiding high heat protects the stretch and stops the fabric from thinning over time.
Frequently asked questions
Are your leggings squat-proof and not see-through?
Many of our leggings use thick, dense knits engineered to stay opaque and non-see-through when you bend, squat or lunge. Opacity varies by style and colour, so check the product description for fabric weight and squat-proof details. As a rule, firmer compression fabrics offer the most reliable coverage.
What is the difference between leggings and compression tights?
Leggings cover a broad range of training and lifestyle styles in varying fabric weights, while compression tights use firmer, supportive fabric that hugs the muscles for a streamlined fit and added support. Compression suits running and high-intensity work, while everyday leggings prioritise comfort, coverage and stretch.
What size leggings should I order?
Check the size guide on each product page, as fit varies by brand. Leggings should feel snug without gaping at the waist or going sheer when stretched. If you are between sizes, sizing down often gives better compression and a no-slip fit, while sizing up adds comfort for relaxed wear.
Should I choose full-length or 7/8 leggings?
Full-length leggings give the most coverage and warmth for studio work, lifting and cooler weather. 7/8 and cropped lengths sit above the ankle for a flattering break, better airflow on warm days and easy mobility. Pick based on the season, your height and how much coverage you want.
Are these leggings high-waisted?
Many styles are high-waisted, sitting at or above the navel for core coverage and a secure, no-slip fit that most lifters and yogis prefer. Rise varies by style, so check the product description. A wide, supportive waistband helps the leggings stay put through deep bends without rolling down.
How do I keep my leggings opaque and stretchy?
Wash leggings in cold water, turn them inside out, and avoid fabric softener, which breaks down elastane. Air dry rather than using high heat, which thins the knit and weakens stretch over time. Following the care label protects squat-proof opacity and keeps the fit firm wash after wash.
