Quick answer: our Leggings collection breaks down into four real categories — ruched/lifting, seamless/workout, solid basics, and patterned prints. Most customers own at least two: one for everyday and one for the gym.
"Legging" sounds like one product, but the fit, fabric, and finish change a lot depending on what you're actually using them for. Here's how our own catalog splits, using real styles rather than marketing labels.
The four types, side by side
| Type | What defines it | Example | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ruched / lifting | Textured knit, ruched center seam for a sculpted shape | High Rise Ruched Lifter 28" | Everyday wear, going out |
| Seamless / workout | Smooth knit, no side seams, sweat-wicking | Seamless 28" Workout Leggings | Gym, yoga, running errands |
| Solid basics | Single block color, minimal styling | Browse the Solids collection | Mixing with patterned tops or layers |
| Patterned | Printed or textured designs | Browse the Patterns collection | Making a plain top more interesting |
Ruched and lifting: the honeycomb texture
The High Rise Ruched Lifter is the clearest example of this category — a honeycomb-textured knit with a ruched seam running up the back, built in 80% Nylon/20% Spandex for structure and stretch. The texture and ruching are what create the shaping effect, not compression. It's high-rise with a 28" inseam and comes in five colors (Grey, Blue, Black, Pink, Teal) across sizes XS–4XL.
Seamless and workout: built to move
The Seamless 28" Workout Leggings drop the texture for a smooth, four-way-stretch knit designed for actual movement — sweat-wicking, quick-dry, and seamless construction so there's nothing to chafe mid-workout. Same 28" high-rise fit, nine color options, sizes XS–4XL.
Solid vs. patterned: a styling choice, not a fit one
Beyond fabric and cut, the other split is purely visual. Solid leggings from our Solids collection are the easiest to build outfits around — they pair with anything. Prints from our Patterns collection work best when the rest of the outfit stays simple, like a plain oversized hoodie or tee.
