How can I keep my leggings up when I'm moving around?

Leggings can be the ultimate fashion statement, but they can also be a source of frustration when they won’t stay up. If this situation has been sounding all too familiar, fear not! There are plenty of reasons why your leggings could be continually heading south.

One common reason is that the leggings might be a little too tight for your size. If you’re squeezing into a pair of spandex or cotton leggings only to have them slide down throughout the day, perhaps it’s time for you to invest in another size. You don’t want to go too tight because if the fabric is cutting off your circulation or leaving marks at the end of the day, it means it’s time to move up a size.

If your waistband is riding low and sliding down, it could mean that your leggings are made out of a fabric that has less-than-optimal grip and could be slipping as you move around. To combat sliding members of fabric, consider investing in some leggings with broader waistbands that provide more points of contact between you and the garment, which will make them harder to slip off.

At last, it could also mean that you need to try layering on top — if your leggings don’t fit tightly enough to stay up on their own then throw a shirt dress or tunic top over them for extra protection as you move about your day!

Leggings are one of the most comfortable, fashionable and versatile pieces of clothing you can own. But let’s be honest; it can be difficult finding a pair that actually stay in place! Whether you’re heading out for a run, going to the gym or just want to relax and stay comfortable at home, wearing leggings that keep slipping down isn’t ideal.

The secret to finding leggings that will stay up all day is to pay attention to the waistband. Look for leggings with a thick waistband, ideally made with elastic material. Having elastic in your waistband will ensure that there's enough stretch so as not to prevent any breathing room but it will also help keep them from sliding down. Another great thing about this type of waistband is they are incredibly comfortable while still providing amazing hold around your abdominal area.

Additionally, look for styles with built-in tummy control panels. These panels help provide extra support by gently compressing your midsection, which prevents the leggings from sagging and sliding down during activity or movement. When shopping for tummy control panels, opt for ones made with lightweight material as this will provide more comfort in your day-to-day life.

Whichever design you choose, make sure to size appropriately; too tight, and the compression will cause them to move down; but too loose, and they won't fit correctly and won't provide any coverage or hold in place throughout the day either. Opting for a fit that sits right above your hip bones will give you enough generous room without shifting through your activities or daily life.

The old adage of ‘once the leggings are off, the party’s on’ may be true but no one wants their celebrations tempered by a wardrobe malfunction! Avoiding slipping leggings is easier than you may think and there are several approaches you can take.

First, opt for leggings that are designed with active wear in mind as they will more likely have adjustable waistbands or reinforced seams to keep them in place. High waisted designs also lend themselves better to staying put as they usually come complete with features such as tummy panels or wider waist bands that provide extra support.

For those who would rather not buy new clothes specifically for this purpose, there are other approaches that can give your old favorites a reprise. A casual belt can provide extra security and really keep the leggings from slipping down. Another option is jobbing some fun fashion tape in your wardrobe and create suspenders or cross-straps with clear elastic strips to help distribute the weight more evenly across your body when worn with smaller straps or thinner waistbands.

No matter what style of legging you choose, paying attention to proper fit is essential for preventing slipping. Though comfort is paramount when finding the right fit, make sure you try on new pairs and use sizing charts to determine a size most accurate to your body’s measurement - instead of relying on labels like “Small” or “Extra-large” - as these collective sizes vary greatly between brands and could leave you feeling either too snug or too relaxed when wearing them out.

With these tips in motion, say goodbye to slipping pants and say hello to a new wardrobe filled with enough support (and style!) to get you through any outing!
