Gym leggings are made from thicker, stretchier, sweat-wicking fabric that stays opaque when you squat. Everyday cotton leggings are made for casual wear and can go see-through when stretched.

Not if they fit. If a waistband rolls, the leggings are usually a size too big or too small.

Full-length, ankle leggings in a denser fabric. PLUSH, with its suede-soft finish, is a favourite for cooler months.

Yes. Our leggings come in sizes XS to 4XL.

Cold wash, inside out, no fabric softener, and air-dry. That keeps the stretch and colour for longer.

Pair them with crop tops or oversized sweaters along with sneakers for a relaxed yet chic look.

Which Hunnit leggings should you choose?

These are all high waisted gym leggings: the waistband sits above your hip bones, supports your core and doesn’t roll down when you squat or sit. If you’ve wondered about mid rise leggings meaning, it’s a waistband that sits just below the belly button. Mid rise can feel freer, but it’s more likely to slip during squats and burpees, which is why we make our gym tights high rise.

Our leggings variety covers four performance ranges.

• Zen Ankle Length Leggings: our bestseller, rated 4.8 from 56 reviews. HunnitHug™ fabric, 80% polyester and 20% spandex, with a peach-soft finish, zero transparency and pockets. Ten colours.
• OG Leggings: our training legging in 84% recycled polyester and 16% elastane. Quick-dry, four-way stretch and squat-proof, made for HIIT, CrossFit and spin.
• PLUSH Leggings: a buttery, suede-soft polyamide and Lycra blend with side pockets, in Regular (up to 5’4”) and Tall (5’5” and above) lengths.
• Zen Seamless Leggings: knitted without side seams for a smooth fit under anything.

We also make OOZE leggings in a silky polyamide and Lycra blend, and printed 7/8 workout tights in Cosmic Waves, Yin Yang, Safari Chic, Majestic Flora and Epic Pop.

Should you choose our 7/8 or ankle length leggings?

The 7/8 leggings meaning is simple: they stop a few centimetres above your ankle bone. They don’t bunch on shorter legs, show off your trainers and feel a little cooler than full length. Ankle-length leggings reach the ankle and give full coverage for yoga and cooler weather. If you want something shorter still for running in the heat, our gym capris end just below the knee.

Why do women choose Hunnit gym leggings?

Every Hunnit legging is designed in India, in sizes XS to 4XL. HunnitHug™ is tested over 2,500 washes, and Hunnit is rated 4.8 from more than 2,400 verified reviews.

Should you choose nylon or polyester Hunnit leggings?

In the nylon vs polyester leggings question, both make great workout tights. Nylon, also called polyamide, feels smoother and silkier and is very durable: that’s what our PLUSH and OOZE ranges use. Polyester dries faster and holds colour brilliantly: that’s Zen and OG. If you want something softer and less compressive for yoga, try our gym flare pants instead.

What makes Hunnit leggings squat proof?

Squat proof leggings stay opaque even when the fabric is stretched at its widest, at the very bottom of a squat. Three things make the difference: a dense knit, enough fabric weight, and stretch that snaps back instead of thinning out. Our Zen, OG, PLUSH and OOZE leggings are all made from squat-proof fabric, and HunnitHug™ is tested over 2,500 washes so it keeps its colour and shape. The quickest check at home: squat in front of a mirror in good light. If you can see skin, the leggings aren’t for the gym.

How do Hunnit leggings help you avoid camel toe?

Camel toe usually comes down to fit, not fabric. To avoid it, wear your true size (leggings that are too small pull tight at the front seam), choose a high waist that doesn’t need hitching up, and look for leggings with a gusset, a small panel that removes the centre seam. If you want to hide camel toe in leggings you already own, a darker colour and a seamless style help too. Our full guide on how to avoid camel toe in gym leggings has more tips.

What should you wear under Hunnit gym leggings?

Wear seamless, breathable underwear in a sweat-wicking fabric, or nothing at all if the leggings are designed to be worn that way. Avoid cotton, which holds on to sweat, and lacy styles that show lines. A thong or seamless brief is the most popular choice under gym tights for ladies. For more detail, read what to wear under gym tights.

Which Hunnit tops go best with our leggings?

High-waisted leggings look best with a top that ends at the waistband, which is why the leggings and crop top combination is so popular. Pair yours with a medium or high support bra from our sports bras for women, or one of our gym crop tops. Want them to match exactly? Most of our leggings also come in gym co-ord sets.
