Get geared up for International Legging Day every October 18th. Although it’s a year-round staple, when temps drop in the fall, it’s officially legging season!
Once a necessity providing an added layer of warmth, the legging is now an iconic style combining comfort and fashion. Leggings truly set a trend in the 1950s and ‘60s as a standard wardrobe piece and workout essential.
Over time, breathable materials, textures, designs, and prints ushered in the undeniable era of leggings. Now, modern-day leggings are feats of engineering designed to enhance your workout. While they continue to be a gym essential, legging styles are now so versatile that they’re widely acceptable to wear as pants. In a wide range of looks, comfortable leggings offer something for everyone.
As the popularity of athleisure skyrockets, so too does the mass appeal of the legging. Clearly, this comfortable, curve-hugging style hasn’t just revolutionized what we wear to the gym—it’s revolutionized what we wear everywhere! The versatile legging has sparked a global revolution that encourages women to embrace comfort and stay active.
