Velvet is one of those materials you recognize by touch. Dense, textured, and sensual, it captures the light and follows your every move without restriction. Designed as a statement piece for your wardrobe, our velvet leggings combine technical performance, comfort, and a bold style.
A Cut That Supports Without Restricting
The high waist line structures the silhouette without compressing it. Each model is crafted from premium Italian velvet, featuring a fluid and lightweight drape. The support is stable, the cut is sharp yet flexible, and the comfort is long-lasting—the hallmark of quality sustainable activewear.
Ribbed or Textured Velvet: Two Expressions of the Same Comfort
Ribbed velvet reveals texture and light with graphic elegance. Textured velvet—also known as brushed velvet—offers a luminous softness and an enveloping touch. Two distinct Italian finishes, both meeting the same high standards of quality.
Made in France
Our leggings are made in France in a specialized workshop dedicated to technical apparel and stretch fabrics. Precise construction allows the velvet to maintain its elasticity without over-stretching: this is what sets a UJO piece apart from ordinary leggings.

FAQ Women's Velvet Leggings: Everything to Know Before You Buy
What is the difference between ribbed velvet leggings and textured (brushed) velvet leggings?
Ribbed velvet is recognized by its fine raised lines, known as ribs. Denser and thicker, it contains less elastane, giving it a structured drape and a more substantial feel. Textured velvet, also called brushed velvet, is lighter, more flexible, and more luminous. It offers an equally soft touch but provides more compression support thanks to its higher elastane content.
What is the difference in fit between ribbed velvet and textured velvet?
The ribbed velvet leggings feature a very high waist with an integrated wide elastic for firmer support and a sculpted look. The textured velvet model is designed with a wide high-waist band without elastic, which sits comfortably on the stomach without compressing. The cut remains fluid and naturally hugs your curves.
Does velvet make the silhouette look larger?
No, as long as the size is chosen correctly. Well-fitted velvet leggings highlight the body's lines without a heavy compression effect. However, a model that is too tight—especially in ribbed velvet—can create a tension effect across the ribs and legs. The most important step is to refer to the size guide and check your hip measurement: this determines the perfect fit.
How do I choose my velvet leggings size?
The most important measurement is the hips, followed by the waist. Compare your measurements with the chart on the product page. Reading our article on How to choose the right leggings size will help you decide. Detailed videos are also available in our blog post “How to take your measurements” to help you find the ideal fit.
What should I wear with velvet leggings?
Velvet leggings adapt to many styles: for a sporty look, pair them with a sports bra or a matching velvet top; for an urban look, an oversized sweater or a wide shirt creates an elegant textural contrast. It is a versatile piece that transitions from the studio to the city effortlessly. For more inspiration, browse the full velvet collection.
