Since the early 80s, leggings have become an integral part of women's wardrobes and are still extremely popular. Initially, they were only thin knitwear, but today the choice for the fair sex has expanded significantly. What are leggings and tights and what is the difference between leggings and tights? What to choose for different purposes and situations? What should you pay attention to in order to correctly determine the size of leggings?
Let's figure it out right now.
What is the difference between leggings and tights?
There is a common misconception that leggings and tights are different names for the same item of women's clothing. However, in fact, these two items differ in both their appearance and characteristics.
Leggings are basically a sports analogue of sweatpants. Leggings are usually made of thin fabric, so they look more like tights. Leggings are great for sports and an active lifestyle.
Leggings, in turn, are much more versatile and can be used in both everyday and business looks. In production, a material of a denser structure is used for leggings, which provides additional support and shape.
Leggings offer more style and design options, making them more versatile.
So, the difference between leggings and tights is determined by the materials used and the purpose. When choosing between them, it is worth considering the style preferences and the level of comfort you are looking for in your clothes.
Choosing leggings based on their intended purpose
It is important to consider the place and time when you plan to wear leggings, as this directly affects the choice of a particular model. Options for using leggings can include sports activities or everyday wear.
If you are wondering which ones are suitable for sports, pay attention to what material the leggings are made of.
Models can be made from synthetic or cotton materials.
Synthetic leggings provide excellent ventilation and do not cause allergic reactions. However, in conditions of intense cardio loads, cotton models are not recommended, as they can dry for a long time. If you prefer natural materials, pay attention to leggings made of merino wool. Our assortment includes leggings of various series, such as Sport Wool, Classic, Soft.
However, when wondering how to choose leggings for everyday use, consider the weather and time of year.
During the transitional season, lightweight premium leggings from the Soft Woolmark series are well suited. For cold climates, thermal leggings from the -60⁰С series, which are made of voluminous knitwear and can cope even with severe frosts, the Hunter and ACTIVE KIDS series, will be an excellent choice.
In any case, the tight cut of the leggings will allow you to look attractive at work, on a walk or meeting with friends.
What about color?
Youth leggings are presented in various design options, from provocative models with leopard print to multi-colored products in "acid" shades. Classic leggings colors in the Norveg product range are black and gray "melange", milky, soft blue and pale pink. Black leggings are universal and appropriate in any case. They visually correct the figure, make you look slimmer, and hide imperfections.
The grey melange looks unobtrusive and attractive, perfect for training.
In the catalog of our online store you can buy women's and children's thermal leggings.
How to choose the size?
In order to correctly determine the size of leggings, it is recommended to use the size chart provided by the manufacturer on their official website. It is important not to choose models that are smaller or larger than your size. Leggings should fit the lower part of the body, while there should be no folds or loose areas.
Leggings of the correct size should not "slip down", press on the body, expose the lower back or ankles. Please note: thermal leggings are classified as underwear and do not require preliminary fitting. In this case, follow the manufacturer's recommendations.
Be sure to take into account your figure features before purchasing.
Shortened models are not suitable for short girls - the best solution will be classic length models. They will look even more impressive in combination with a platform or heel.
