There are so many different types of gym leggings on the market right now, so it can be hard to know where to start when choosing for yourself. To make things easier, we’ve narrowed down the most popular legging lengths to get in your workout lineup.

 

Full length leggings

 

Currently, the legging type we stock most of on Bo+Tee, full-length leggings, is the perfect all-rounder. They’re ideal for outdoor sessions and exercise, ensuring maximum coverage of the body. That also means they’re great for cooler weather if you don’t fancy braving it in shorts. 

 

You can wear these for speed walking, running, hiking and any indoor exercise. They’re a must-have for your get-fit kit and can be worn all year round. How to style gym leggings, you ask? With full-length leggings, add some ribbed socks and any of our long-sleeved gym tops for a sleek look.

 

 

3/4 length leggings

 

Another popular sports legging is the 3/4 length, cut just above the ankle. These super flattering leggings are optimal for workouts and sessions indoors, in the gym or yoga studio. They’re also great for wearing with our ankle socks to get that cool athleisure vibe you all love! 

 

If you’re petite, 3/4 length leggings will also be great for you if you find leggings can sometimes be too long.

Biker shorts, also known as cycling shorts, are our longer-length short style that has a nineties-inspired vibe. They’re great for summer and warmer weather, and they're bound to keep you cool when cycling, running or walking outside.

 

Cycling shorts also look amazingly styled up for every day with an oversized t-shirt and sliders.

Similar to biker shorts, these mini-length shorts are ideal for when the weather heats up. They’ll keep you super cool and composed in the gym or when taking your session outside. 

 

This style can be worn for most exercises and sports, and it also looks good styled with sweatshirts or t-shirts. Want to try it for yourself? Check out our collection of stunning mini shorts and find your perfect style.
