LEGGINGS

Women’s designer leggings confidently wade into the continually shifting waters that previously separated high fashion and athletic performance wear, a once poorly defined grey area that has increasingly become the favored terrain for high-end and casualwear alike. This undeniable flexibility is most clearly highlighted in this season’s selection of quality form-fitting options. Performance-ready athletic apparel is exemplified through designer’s signature garment technologies that range from quick-drying and moisture-wicking hydrophilic fabrics to anti-bacterial and anti-odour solutions. Seamless construction featuring mesh and compression panelling create a formidably sleek and futuristic styling option. In comparison, similar technical jersey variations paired with bold coloring and baroque graphic patterns instantly command attention, departing ever so slightly from the apparel’s functional roots. Knitted viscose-blends and less aerodynamic constructions grant further notoriety to this withdrawal, allowing for inventive iterations of designer women’s leggings to gain traction. Certain silhouettes celebrate aspects of athleticism while keeping the physicality itself at arm’s length. Logo-embellished stirrups and webbed bands coalesce harmonically with current fashion trends, solidifying designer women’s leggings as a must-have item.
