Legging Sizes and Fit – A Guide

Short answer: Leggings should sit close without squeezing. As a starting point, choose your normal size, and only size up if you are between two measurements. Leggings in bamboo viscose have good stretch and shape themselves to your body without losing their form.

How leggings should fit

Good leggings follow your leg all the way without bagging at the knees or ankles, and the waistband should stay in place without digging in. If the fabric looks see-through when you bend over, the size is too small. See the selection of bamboo leggings for women in several sizes.

Find your size

Measure your waist and hips and compare with the brand's size chart instead of guessing. On this site you will find, among others, the size guide for JBS of Denmark women and the size guide for Boody women. Our general guide to sizes in bamboo clothing will help you further.

Fit over time

Bamboo viscose with elastane has good stretch and returns to its shape after wear. Wash at 30 degrees and avoid the tumble dryer, so the elastic lasts longer. If your leggings are meant for training, you can also look at bamboo workout trousers for women with a more supportive fit.

Frequently asked questions

Should leggings fit tightly?

They should sit close to the body without squeezing or digging into the waist. If they bag at the knees, they are too big.

Should I size up in leggings?

Only if you are between two sizes or prefer a looser fit. Otherwise your normal size is the right choice.

Do bamboo leggings lose their shape?

No, not with the right care. Wash at 30 degrees without tumble drying, and they will keep their stretch for a long time.
