Frequently Asked Questions

Are these high waisted leggings squat proof?
In the four darker colours, yes. The knit is a double layer with four way stretch, and black, navy, rose red and dark coffee stay opaque under a full squat. Sky blue and caramel brown are the two to hold against your hand in daylight before you rely on them. What makes a high waisted legging squat proof is the centre back seam sitting along the body rather than pulling flat across it.
Will the high waistband roll down?
Not at the right size. The waistband on these high waisted leggings is wide and sits above the navel, and a wide band at the narrowest point of the waist is what stops rolling. Rolling happens when the band is too small for the waist, not too large, so if you are between sizes, go up. The centre back seam holds the band flat through a forward fold.
What size leggings and sports bra set should I order?
Go by the leggings, because they are the tighter fit. The waist measures 52 cm on a size S and 64 cm on an XL, the hip 68 to 80 cm, all flat before stretch; the chart also gives a height and weight guide, S for around 155 to 165 cm and 40 to 55 kg, XL up to 180 cm and 90 kg. The bra pulls on with fixed straps and follows the same size.
Are high waisted leggings good for pilates and yoga?
Yes, and this pair is cut for exactly that. High waisted leggings for pilates need a band that stays put on your back and a knit that moves through a roll-down without going sheer; the wide band and the double layer do both. They are not a compression tight, so for running or a HIIT class you would want more support. The activewear sets collection has the other lengths.
Do the leggings have pockets?
No. The waistband is a plain wide band with no side pocket, no back pocket and no drawstring, which is deliberate: a pocket in the band is where a high waist legging bulges and where the band starts to roll. If you want a pocket for a class, a small armband or a jacket pocket is the better answer than a legging with one.
How do you wash the leggings so they keep their shape?
Hand wash in cool water and hang to dry. Do not bleach, do not iron and do not tumble dry: heat is what destroys the recovery in a stretch knit, and high waisted leggings that have lost their recovery go baggy at the knee and slack at the waistband within a few wears. Wash with similar colours the first few times.
