Many women have burnt themselves on choosing the wrong kind
of leggings. Some had the leggings roll on their stomachs, some were too tight
and were digging into their skin. And let us not even mention see-through
material during squats. The right leggings are like a second skin – you do not
even know about them and they support you during every training. Avoid
embarrassment at the gym and focus only on your performance. Let us help you
choose the best ones.
Material
You may not see a difference between various fabrics, but
you will feel it during exercise. During an intense training, you can forget
natural materials, such as cotton. Keep those for yoga classes, where they will
provide enough comfort. Instead, use synthetic materials for the gym. Why, you
ask?
Synthetics, such as polyamide or polyester, are extremely
durable
. You will appreciate that especially after frequent washing and active
wearing. In addition, they effectively
drain away moisture and dry quickly.
Even though they tend to be flexible enough, elastane is added to ladies’ leggings
in order to make them more pleasant to the touch and more flexible.
- Did you know that polyester is made from the same fibre as
PET bottles? At NEBBIA, we recognize the ecological impact of plastic, which is
why we partnered up with the Spanish company SEAQUAL™️ in their fight for cleaner
oceans and created a collection of the same name. If the environment comes
first for you, the
SEAQUAL™️ leggings are the right ones for you.
Stitching
Even the best material can be a curse while wearing it if
it’s sewn into an unnatural shape. Low-quality stitching is immediately obvious
– threads are sticking out, it digs into your flesh and comes undone
eventually. The stitching on fitness leggings has to follow the lines of the
body in order to provide enough support during exercise. The proper stitching
will highlight your curves, create space for stretching the fabric during the
workout and is durable enough to not tear.
The current fitness legging trends aim to reach maximum
effectiveness during exercise
and support healthy self-confidence of every
woman. That is why many leggings are stitched with a sewn-in wedge and a
scrunch butt effect which gives your thighs and backside a great shape.
High vs. low waist
High-waist jeans that almost touch the ribs can be seen on
women in almost every shopping mall. This trend did not avoid gyms and a high
waist has become a big hit. Not only does it look fantastic, it also provides
support during exercise, protects against cold and covers up an extra pound or
two around the waist.
However, leggings with a normal waist are not out of the
game! Put them on if you like a sense of freedom and perhaps want to show off
your toned waist, for which you worked so hard! A low waist comes in handy
especially in summer, when the heat forces us to wear the lightest possible
clothing.
- Low-waist leggings may roll during movement. That is why you
should ask about the
quality and width of the waist band. But with NEBBIA
leggings, you can be sure! The iconic NEBBIA band is wide enough, elastic and
the silicon “N” on the inner side will ensure that the leggings stay in their
place during the whole workout. You can find it, among others, in the beloved
SQUAD HERO leggings.
Style and added functions
Every woman has her style that she uses to talk to the
world. If you are playful, pick colourful leggings with patterns, if you love
attention, reach for
leggings with a mesh, if you have the soul of a silent
warrior, single-colour leggings are the right ones for you.
When picking the leggings, think about their functionality
hidden in details.
High Waist Fit&Smart will quickly become one of your
favourite pieces. They come with elegantly stitched pockets, large enough to
keep your phone and fitness card. A high waist is a guarantee that the leggings
will not roll and you will feel confident. If you seek extra support, choose
leggings with compression properties, which will support your joints, muscles
and speed up the post-training regeneration.
