Leggings

Leggings

Ankle length

Leggings

Inseam 9-11cm
Shorts

Booty

High rise or mid rise?

Both rises use the same fabrics and sculpting, the only difference is how high the waistband sits. The high rise waistband sits 4cm higher than the mid rise.

High rise

Sits higher on the waist for full tummy coverage and a locked-in feel through lifts and bends.

Mid rise

Sits just below the natural waist for a lighter, barely-there feel through everyday training.

Flare

Flare

Fitted through the thigh, opens from the knee. Comes in regular and tall.

Straight leg

Straight leg

Relaxed from the knee down in short, regular and tall lengths.

Know the fabric first

Questions

Which leggings are the most squat-proof?

Unrivalled and Booty Shaper are our most compressive, squat-proof styles. If you train heavy and want total confidence under the bar, start there.

Should I size up or down in scrunch styles?

Signature Scrunch and Aura Peachy are designed with light compression. If you prefer a firmer, more sculpted fit, size down. Otherwise stay with your usual size.

What's the difference between high rise and mid rise?

The high rise waistband sits 4cm higher than the mid rise. High rise gives full tummy coverage and a locked-in feel through lifts, mid rise sits just below the natural waist for a lighter everyday feel. Same fabric, same sculpting.

Which style is best for running?

Zero Rise Everyday and Seamless. Both are lightweight and breathable, and Seamless adds sweat-wicking knit zones for hot sessions.

How do I keep my leggings feeling new?

Cold gentle wash, no fabric softener, and skip the dryer. The full routine per fabric is in the Care Guide.
