Introduction

Velvet leggings are often associated with elegant or casual outfits. But what about their use for sports? At first glance, this soft and luxurious fabric seems far removed from the technical materials we imagine for physical activities. However, velvet leggings, like those offered by UJO , combine style, performance, and comfort. So, are they really suitable for sports? We analyze them.

1. Velvet, an unexpected ally for your workouts

Contrary to popular belief, velvet isn't just about aesthetics. When it's well-designed and cut with a sophisticated cut, like the upcycled velvet leggings we offer, it offers the right technical qualities:

• Breathability : Modern velvet fabrics, blended with the right amount of elastane, allow good air circulation, thus avoiding that feeling of over-sweating.
• Stretch : Good sports leggings should move freely without restriction.UJO 's velvet leggings feature stretch fibers for total freedom, whether for yoga, dance, weight training, or even running.
• Warmth : Velvet is naturally insulating, making it an ideal choice for outdoor workouts during the fall and winter seasons.

2. What sports should you do with velvet leggings?

Velvet leggings are particularly suitable for certain activities:

• Gentle sports : Yoga, Pilates or stretching, where comfort and stretch are paramount.
• Indoor training : Light cardio, weight training or group classes.
• Outdoor sports : Brisk walking, trekking or running in cool weather helps keep your legs warm.

However, for intense activities with heavy sweating, velvet leggings can be combined with ultra-breathable fabrics to maximize comfort.

4. Limits to know

Although velvet leggings are suitable for many activities, it is still important to:
