Of all the activewear inventions, seamless gym leggings have to be the one we're most indebted to. Why? Because, instead of being made from fabric sewn together, like traditional gym leggings, seamless leggings are knit together in a circular fashion creating a one-piece legging that's free from seams, zips and drawstrings. The result? Max comfort, zero chafe and no digging in at the waist. Sign us up. Seamless gym leggings also tend to be super flattering, giving you a sculpted silhouette with a supportive, high-waist fit. Sounds good? Thought so.
If you're new to the magical world of seamless gym leggings then here's a couple of things to consider when searching for your perfect pair. Fabric - do you want a lightweight second skin or locked in supportive feel? Lighter materials are often great for runs and allow for a full range of motion in agile classes, while the compression and core support of thicker styles are great for weight training sessions. The best seamless gym leggings will offer sweat-wicking properties, four-way stretch and compression as standard.
