High Waisted Leggings

The  type of leggings you're looking for will depend entirely on the activity you decide to use them for. Performance and comfort is key to us, so that you can get the most out of your next level workout.

Fit for purpose gym and high waisted leggings is our top priority here at Ryderwear. Or perhaps you’re in the market for multipurpose high waisted leggings for everyday wear or even a more tailored choice like one of the following:

 

1. Weightlifting

2. Running/walking

3. Yoga

4. Recovery/ off-duty

   
   

We've established that you're looking for high-waisted leggings; that's how you got here, after all. The next question is, how do you want them to fit beyond just their profile?

A relaxed style is good for lounging or more low-key activities; and as the intensity of your workout increases, you might want more support and compression to look after your muscles and aid recovery. Another feature that might tempt you is the second-skin feel for a more flexible material.

 

1. Super-compressive

2. Light Support

3. Second-skin feel

4. Stretchy

 

The length of your leggings can also determine your best fit. A mid-length short option might be perfect for flaunting your curves  and keeping cool in warmer weather. Capris can also be a great transeasonal style. An update on the traditional three-quarter length silhouette, 7/ 8 leggings are ideal for pairing with your favourite sneakers and showing them off.

1. Short

2. Ankle-grazing

3. 7 / 8 Length

4. Full length

 

Another option to consider is the finish: this can be crucial for optimum comfort in certain environments. For example, sweat-wicking fabrics are ideal for hot gyms, while a thicker pair of leggings might help you along on those brisk morning runs. Ribbed styles are suitable if you're a tactile fashion-lover, as are the buttery-soft, seamless styles.

 

1. Sweat-wicking

2. Lightweight

3. Seamless

4. Ribbed

 

After deciding on the fit, length and feel of the leggings, the fun can start - what look are you going for? We offer several iterations of each silhouette and bold styles are our forte. Whether you want to express yourself with a splash of colour or a go-with-everything pair of navy leggings,  we have something for you. here's a taste of what's on offer:

 

1. Scrunch bum

2. Mesh-inserts

3. Colourful

4. Sleek monotone
