Leggings

The history of women’s leggings: from a sports garment to a fashion statement

Leggings as we know them today have drastically changed throughout history, but there is one thing that has remained stable over time: their practicality. Their origin goes back to some types of tights that were worn in Europe, from the 13th century onwards, and in the Americas. In the 1960s, a tighter version inspired by ballet garments appeared, but it was the aerobics boom of the 1970s-80s that helped leggings establish themselves as a basic sportswear garment. Finally, in 2010, leggings entered street fashion trends (not without sparking controversies) and today their use in both fashion and sports contexts has been normalized. Today, many brands and designers take advantage of the versatile nature of these pieces of clothing to create models that can be worn for workouts as well as for the most hyped parties in town. In the SVD selection, you will find both sports and fashion leggings, as well as leather and compression leggings for women. Come discover the ones that best suit your style.
