How To Style Leggings Inside and Outside the Gym

One of the best things about pursuing an active lifestyle today is choice. Gyms have come a long way. Going further than just a treadmill, a muted TV and a rack of weights, modern gyms offer an endless variety of equipment to improve your workout.

From Yoga to high-intensity group classes, to enlightening workouts that tap into our spiritual and emotional wellbeing as much as any physical benefits - such as Powerful Pilates, SoulCycle and KAAIAA - there are so many opportunities to be active and stay active.

Buzzing neighbourhoods and city precincts appear to have just as many gyms on every corner as they do bars and clubs. Many of which come with their own activewear retail space and smoothie bar to entice us further, influencing our “better-for-us choices”.

Then there are outdoor activities. Travelling to the coast, heading inland towards nature, or hiking along mountain trails (now the fourth most popular outdoor activity in the US), outdoor boot camps, running, walking, cycling, and skating appear more popular than ever too. And in Australia, more than half the population turn to physical activities for recreation, with a majority playing organised sports.

Whatever form of exercise, workout, sweat session or sports discipline we prefer, we’re likely to perform better when the activewear we choose feels good and does the job we expect.

P.E Nation leggings are built to go the distance and keep the pace, no matter how you like to move. Whether judging form, feel or a flattering fit, our active leggings for women excel across all categories–premium sustainable fabric and technical detailing to support you throughout workouts. But, best of all, they look phenomenal.

From slow-and-smooth studio sequences to fast-paced HIIT (high-intensity interval training) sessions, our women’s leggings go through the most demanding trials to ensure they’re a worthy addition to your wardrobe and sports bag.

How to Choose The Right Leggings

We design our activewear to stay in place while we stretch and move around, providing compression for running and walking while wicking away moisture in warm weather or during intense sweat sessions.

Keep reading to learn how to choose the right pair of P.E Nation Leggings for all your favourite workouts.

The Best Leggings for Yoga & Pilates

Whether you’re preparing for an hour of sun salutations and tree poses or readying yourself for a mat or reformer style Pilates session, you should be wearing some workout tights. Finding the right pair means looking for supreme stretch, comfort, and breathability.

You want a fabric that will move with you and feel like a second skin. Our P.E Nation leggings made from our Bamboo-viscose fabrication are ideal for low-impact workouts such as yoga and Pilates.

The Best Leggings for High-Intensity Training

For all your burpees, box jumps, and back-to-back circuit sessions, you need a pair of gym leggings that stay put while you jump, twist and turn. Perfect for high-impact training, as well as downtempo workouts, our lightweight fabrication is less restrictive, allowing you to go further on those plyo lunges.

The Best Leggings for Running

When you’re gunning for that Personal Best, your dream legging is going to stay in place and not slip while you cruise through those kilometres. Go for sports leggings with a compressive fabrication, plus a little hip pocket, to keep your hands free of energy gels or small essentials you need to carry while you’re smashing records. Check out our Running Clothes for Women for more options. 

The Best Leggings for All-Day Comfort

If you want activewear leggings with elevated appeal and more of a fashion vibe than a fitness look, any of our styles cut from our Scuba fabric will fit the bill. Soft and smooth with a slightly spongy feel and premium flexibility, this fabrication provides excellent coverage with a luxurious easy-to-wear experience, for a statement athleisure piece.

The Versatility of Leggings

Made to work as hard as you do during your training sessions, we made sure our leggings look just as good from dusk till dawn. In short, P.E Nation leggings offer the ultimate interchangeable aesthetic.

Pair your P.E Nation leggings with a matching workout top for training sessions, then layer with an oversized P.E Nation tee, sweat or hoodie to complete your before-and-after workout wardrobe. 

What To Wear With Leggings Switch from sneakers to stilettos, change your gym bag for a crossbody and layer with an elevated knit, loose shirt or smart P.E Edit blazer or longline jacket for instant studio-to-city-streets transitions. Anything is possible with P.E Nation leggings.

Styling Black Leggings The sky's the limit when it comes to deciding what to wear with black leggings. Go for head to toe monochrome for a sleek silhouette, clash with statement seasonal colours and signature P.E logomania streetwear, pair with a matching crop for yoga, Pilates and gym training, or layer with a Base Colour sweat, hoodie or jacket to add a subtle pop to your leggings.

Shoes and Colour Add some colour and a street vibe to your workoutwear with any kind of sneaker; bring an all-day look to life with combat-style boots; or level up your leggings with statement heels for an instant evening outfit.
