What is the difference between ribbed velvet leggings and brushed velvet leggings?

Ribbed velvet leggings are immediately recognizable by their fine, raised vertical ribs (called "côtes" or "ribbed"). This unique structure creates an elegant graphic effect and a denser feel. Its distinctive features: Structured texture: Vertical ribs create lines that visually lengthen the silhouette Thicker: Denser material with less elastane, offering firm support Very high waist: With integrated wide elastic for a sculpting effect Sophisticated look: More dressed up than brushed velvet Brushed velvet is smoother, softer, and shinier, ideal for sports and casual everyday wear.

Do UJO ribbed velvet leggings make the silhouette look bigger?

No, quite the opposite! Provided you choose the right size, ribbed velvet leggings are slimming thanks to: Vertical lines: The ribs create a visual lengthening effect on the leg Structured support: The denser material smooths the silhouette without compressing High waist: The wide elastic holds the tummy and sculpts the waist ⚠️ Caution: Ribbed leggings that are too tight can create a visible tension effect at the ribs. That's why it's essential to: Accurately measure your hip circumference (widest part) Consult our size guide If in doubt, choose the next size up for a fluid drape 💡 The right test: When you wear the leggings, the ribs should remain regular and parallel. If they spread apart or deform, the size is too small.

Can you exercise in ribbed velvet leggings?

Yes! Our ribbed velvet leggings are designed with a technical Italian material that is perfect for certain sports activities: ✅ Ideal for: Gentle yoga and yin yoga Pilates Stretching Barre au sol Light strength training Walking and urban hiking ⚠️ Less suitable for: Running (prefer lighter brushed velvet) Intense Vinyasa-style dynamic yoga Sports with repeated jumps Why? As ribbed velvet is denser, it offers excellent support but less elasticity than brushed velvet. It remains perfect for gentle and controlled practices. 💪 Our advice: For intensive sports, opt for our brushed velvet leggings collection, which is more flexible and breathable.

How to style ribbed velvet leggings with flair?

Ribbed velvet leggings are particularly suited to sophisticated layering and structured looks: 🖤 All-black look (chic monochrome): Black ribbed leggings + matching black ribbed velvet top Add a long oversized knit cardigan Finish with black Chelsea boots Result: an elongated and elegant silhouette 💗 Bold colorful look: Neon pink or mint green ribbed leggings Neutral oversized sweater (beige, grey, off-white) Short puffer jacket or bomber jacket White sneakers or fur-lined boots 👔 Casual chic look: Black ribbed leggings Oversized white shirt or long blazer Belt at the waist to add structure Loafers or Derbies 🏔️ Cozy winter look: Ribbed leggings (any color) Chunky Irish knit sweater Long wool coat Moon boots or fur-lined boots 💡 Styling tip: The vertical ribs of the leggings naturally lengthen the silhouette. Take advantage of this to create texture contrasts (chunky knit, leather, curly wool) that will highlight the graphic side of ribbed velvet!

Parma ribbed velvet Leggings – high-waisted, soft, and retro style

Parma... that shade that hovers between mauve and lilac. Soft, luminous, unexpected. On soft, stretchy ribbed velvet, it takes on a particular depth: neither too demure nor too flashy. Just right!

Inspired by 80s dancewear, these high-waisted leggings revisit a classic with a modern cut and an elegant textured finish. Perfect for the return of warmer days: structured enough for still-cool mornings, bright enough in its hues to fully belong to spring.

Its elastic waistband hugs the waist without compressing and provides natural support, whether for your yoga sessions, sunny walks, or days split between sport and lounging. The flexible and sculpting material shapes the silhouette while maintaining a relaxed look.

Crafted in a high-end French workshop, these ribbed velvet leggings combine technical expertise, comfort, and character.

Key details

Soft and stretchy: guaranteed comfort and freedom of movement.
Ultra-high sculpting waist: natural support without a compressive effect.
Exclusive Parma shade: a seasonal color, rare in activewear.
Versatile: yoga, dance, spring outings, or casual chic looks.

Why we love it?

Because a color like Parma isn't found everywhere, and certainly not in ribbed velvet made in France. A UJO timeless piece, between retro heritage and a longing for spring.
