There's nothing worse than getting ready to hit the gym but being held back due to a lack of confidence in your leggings, in the fear they'll become sheer. We want you to be confident that your leggings can stand up to the stretch test.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR TO AVOID 'SHEER' LEGGINGS
We've designed all our leggings to be flexible, durable and most importantly, opaque. There are also a few things you can do to ensure you pick the right 'fit for your next workout;
MATERIAL
Finding the right blend of high-quality, sweat-wicking materials is key when trying to avoid see-through leggings. A Nylon, Polyester and Elastane blend Legging will be soft, and buttery to the touch, giving that second skin feeling while helping to wick away sweat from the body during intense workouts.
FIT
It's important to get the right fit as sizing down can stretch the material. If the fabric is stretched too tight, the knit may stretch and this can cause sheerness.
COLOURS
Some colours are also prone to sheerness, colours such as bright pink, yellows and light blues. Whilst wearing tonal underwear will help, as a general rule of thumb, we'd recommend sizing up if purchasing lighter colours. Darker colours such as black, grey, dark green and brown are usually bulletproof choices.
PATTERNS
Patterns and prints are great choices, patterns can help mitigate sheerness and VPL.
Based on the above factors, sheerness can look different for everyone. Whilst we can't guarantee our leggings will be completely 'squat-proof', hopefully, you'll be able to find the ideal fit from the information above.
