Few pieces of clothing have experienced such a meteoric rise in popularity as gym leggings. What used to be the reserve of Lycra-clad fitness fiends is now everywoman’s uniform, for both working out and working from home.
You may have noticed that people generally talk about good gym leggings in terms of what they don’t do – ie, fall down, turn see-through, bunch around your ankles – rather than what they do. The best pairs operate like a second skin, keeping you warm, dry and comfortable and offering a zero-distraction fit that allows you to focus on the workout at hand.
