Introduction

Well-fitting leggings are essential for ensuring flawless comfort, whether you're working out or just relaxing. Unfortunately, many people choose the wrong size, which can lead to discomfort or poor fit. Discover in this article all the tips for finding the perfect leggings, adapted to your body shape and needs, with a particular focus on colored leggings and velvet leggings.

1. Why is size crucial for leggings?

Ill-fitting leggings can quickly become a nightmare:

• Too tight : It may hinder your movements, mark the skin or cause a "sausage" effect and fall down all the time.
• Too loose : It doesn't stay in place and loses its shaping effect. It creates creases at the legs. In short, creases are not the main effect of the garment that we are looking for.

With materials like velvet, which are much stretchier than polyester or spandex, it's even more important to choose the right size. If the size is wrong, velvet leggings can quickly become baggy.

2. Measure your measurements correctly

To ensure you order the right size, measure yourself with a tape measure. Key areas to measure for leggings are:

• Waist : Measure around the narrowest part of your waist, often just above your belly button.
• Hip measurement : Place the tape at the widest point of your hips and buttocks.
• Inseam Length : Measure from the crotch to the ankle if you want a long model.

3. Consider your primary use

Sports leggings, especially those made of velvet or colored materials, should be chosen according to their use:

• For intensive sports : Choose a fitted size for good support, especially if the fabric is compressive.
• For everyday wear : A slightly looser fit is ideal to maximize comfort.

UJO leggings , for example, combine flexibility and support thanks to their design in high-quality recycled fabrics.

4. Try before you buy (if possible)

If you have the opportunity to try on a pair of leggings, move around a bit to test their fit:

• Do a squat to check that it doesn't go down.
• Stretch to see if it hinders your movements.
• Check the seams: they should not be too tight or deformed.

When shopping online, make sure you understand the exchange and return policy. At UJO, we accept free exchanges if the size doesn't fit; you'll only be responsible for the return shipping costs.

5. Don't neglect the fabric details

The choice of fabric directly impacts the sensation and perceived size:

• Velvet : Valued for its softness, it offers significant stretch and fits well to the body, but requires a well-fitting waist to avoid a puckered or loose effect.
• Stretchy Lycra materials : These allow flexibility with a more or less shaping effect. Check the elastane content carefully, as this is a guarantee of the fabric's deformation over time. Aim for a content between 15 and 25% for sports.
