Crushed velvet: soft comfort and cosy warmth

Crushed velvet leggings are perfect for those who value softness above all. The brushed texture feels pleasant on the skin and naturally retains heat, making them an excellent choice for the colder months. They can be worn daily, pairing easily with casual outfits or elegant winter looks. Another advantage is their smoothing effect: the fabric helps conceal small imperfections and creates a sleek finish, ideal for those looking for a flattering second-skin effect.

Ribbed velvet: a structured vintage look

Ribbed velvet leggings bring a retro vibe and add more structure to the silhouette. The ribbed texture visually lengthens the waist and creates a striking effect. Paired with one of our retro-patterned sports bras, these leggings become a standout piece in any activewear outfit – both bold and stylish.

Smooth velvet: timeless and sophisticated

For a refined look, smooth velvet leggings offer a sleek, elegant finish that never goes out of style. Easy to combine, they can be worn during the day or dressed up for the evening. The thinner fabric highlights the body’s natural lines, especially around the thighs, making it a chic option for those who enjoy form-fitting clothing.
