Why do we need leggings?

Leggings are an essential part of every woman's wardrobe, but finding the perfect pair isn't easy. You want them to be durable, comfortable, and flattering—and those are just a few of the criteria that go into making the best leggings on the market. Here at FashionBeans we've put together our own list of must-have requirements for women's leggings, so our customers can always feel confident in their choices!

Must-Haves of Wearing Leggings

They need good compression

Compression leggings are the latest trend in fitness apparel. These ultra-tight pants can be worn to the gym, running, or even just a casual stroll through town. The reason they’re so popular is that they help you get your best workout possible by providing good compression which improves blood flow and reduces muscle soreness after working out. Another benefit of compression leggings is that they make everyday wear more comfortable by reducing chafing and irritation. They also promote better posture with their snug fit around the lower back area, which prevents slouching.

The fabric must be durable

The fabric of your leggings must be durable, as it will get a lot of wear and tear throughout the day. This means that it should not pill easily, fade in sunlight and transfer colour easily (e.g., white leggings aren't ideal if you like to wear dark colours). The material should also be comfortable to wear, breathable and moisture-wicking so that you don't get sweaty and smelly when wearing them all day long.

You must feel comfortable in them.

The first and foremost thing to look for in leggings is comfort. You must feel comfortable in them. Leggings are not meant to be worn with shoes, so you won't be walking around in them all day long. They're also not meant for yoga or other exercise purposes either; they should fit snugly on the legs at all times, but shouldn't restrict movement so much that you can't enjoy yourself.

Leggings that don't breathe well will result in sweating and discomfort within a few minutes of wearing them, which defeats the purpose of purchasing such an item!

They must pass the squat test

The squat test is an essential factor when it comes to leggings. The key question is: "Will these leggings stay put?" If you're wearing a pair of yoga pants and head over to the gym, you're going to want them to stay in place during all kinds of exercises, from lunges and squats to burpees and wall sits.

Leggings with good elasticity will keep your butt covered while working out, even if they're not tight-fitting enough that they are uncomfortable or restrictive (read: no muffin top). These qualities are especially important for working out because people tend to sweat more during exercise than at any other time—and nothing ruins your day like having wet leggings cling awkwardly against skin as you move through an intense circuit class or take on a StrengthWOD workout!

High waisted FTW

You know that common complaint about leggings: “they’re so unflattering.” Well, you can put that to rest because the high waisted legging is a great option for many women. It's been said that high waisted leggings are more flattering because they draw attention up and away from any areas you might be self-conscious about and toward where it should be—your face. They also aid in posture, as your tummy is supported by the waistband at all times.

The perfect women's leggings will make you feel amazing

The best leggings for women will make you feel amazing. They will make you feel confident, they’ll make you feel like a better version of yourself, and they will make you feel like anything is possible.

They are one of the greatest pieces of clothing that a woman can own. They're functional, fashionable and extremely comfortable. You'll never want to take them off!
