Types of Women's Leggings

Leggings are a versatile fashion staple. They provide supreme flexibility at the gym as you do yoga stretches and can be dressed up for a sleek look when you're on a date or out to lunch. Leggings can also be worn around the house for a comfy self-care session while watching TV or reading a book. You can even wear leggings for a casual day out shopping or running errands.

There are many types of women's leggings, so it's important to know what you're looking for. Some are designed to slim and sculpt the waistline while others have a high waistband that provides more support and hugs your curves. They may be made of cotton, wool, an elastic polyester or Lycra. Regardless of the material, you should try on leggings in a store before buying them online, especially if you're wearing them as pants or shorts rather than for working out.

If you're looking for a pair of leggings to wear for a casual workout, Fabletics' Turnover Leggings are a great option.

The pair has a zipper pocket that's large enough for keys and a moderately sized phone, plus they have a U-shaped inseam design that eliminates chaffing at the crotch.
