High Waist Leggings

High-waist leggings for compact confidence

When it comes to hitting the gym and feeling your absolute best, nothing should stand between you and your workout. This is where your reliable gym kit steps in – a secure sports bra paired with leggings that fit just right. Opting for high-waisted leggings can make all the difference. With their elevated waistband, they not only offer a flattering fit that sculpts your midsection, but also provide additional core stability and structure. This means they give you the extra support you need to stay focused and free from distractions during your workout. Plus, their extended coverage allows you to confidently rock them with just a sports bra, knowing your core is fully supported. So whether you're squeezing in one more ab rep or powering through a 30-second sprint, you can trust that your high-waisted leggings have got you covered – literally and figuratively.

Does high-waisted look good on everyone?

High-rise leggings are a firm fave among athletes, catering for various body shapes – from athletic to pear-shaped, petite and tall. The high-rise waistband is a key feature many women love, as it allows them to effortlessly pair the leggings with sports bras for a chic and sporty ensemble. Beyond this, high-rise leggings are favoured for their snug fit, providing a held-in sensation that smooths out the silhouette for a sleek shape. Whether you prefer knee-length or extra-short leggings, we have options to suit your specific preferences and style. Additionally, our selection includes leggings with fixed or adjustable waistbands, so you can customise a fit that adapts to your needs. High-rise leggings aren’t just for the gym – they’re an athleisure go-to. They effortlessly complement oversized blazers, trendy sneakers, and classic tank tops, making them a versatile wardrobe staple. Regardless of your personal style or workout routine, a pair of high-rise leggings is a timeless addition that promises both comfort and style.

Extra comfort and support

Our high-rise styles are made with extremely soft, lightweight and stretchy material that feels seamless. Just because they come up higher doesn’t mean you won’t have moveability and breathability. The moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties draw away the sweat, while the ADISOFT fabric moves with your body. Our high-waisted leggings are also a great option for winter workouts or hikes. The extra layer around your mid-body can keep you insulated during colder temperatures – and they’re thin enough to be an underlayer too. Even though these are over-the-belly leggings, they shouldn’t be confused with maternity leggings. Our pregnancy leggings offer more stretch in the waistband so they mould to your bump as it grows.

Can high-waist leggings help with posture and core support?

High-waisted leggings can offer extra compression to your abs. So yes, they can help with posture and core support! The compression fit also reduces fatigue and strain on your muscles. If you’re doing a workout class, some instructors will refer to high-rise leggings as a visual cue. They’ll ask you to check that your waistband is in a straight line to make sure your hips are aligned. The higher waistline can also visually cue you to stand or sit up straight, promoting better posture throughout the day. So, if you’re doing lots of twists and turns in Pilates, or find yourself tugging at your leggings when ramping up your workout, it’s time to switch. For something with more leg compression that’s tailored for long distances, our running leggings are kitted with everything you need to clock in those extra miles.
