"Thinning Summer Days, Styling with Subtlety"... Popularity of Pants Leggings

[Asia Economy Reporter Yujin Cho] As more people stay close to home due to social distancing in daily life, leggings fashion is gaining popularity. While consumers want to follow the leggings trend, many feel burdened by the body lines that are fully revealed, leading to a surge in the release of pants leggings as an alternative.

Hyper-performance sports brand Dynafit has introduced the pants leggings ‘Flash Combined Tights.’ The women's version combines leggings with 3/4 length shorts, while the men's version features slightly longer 4/4 length shorts. The addition of shorts over the leggings covers the exposed body lines and makes the legs appear longer. Available in versatile black color with retroreflective accents, it also ensures safety during nighttime exercise.

FILA Studio launched the lightweight woven leggings shorts two-in-one product called ‘Leggings Woven Short Shorts.’ The front of the leggings features a logo point, making it suitable as a daily fashion item. The belt area includes adjustable strings for a customizable fit. Made from soft and stretchy fabric, it offers comfortable wear and excellent recovery.

Under Armour introduced ‘Stretch Woven Shorts’ that can be matched with the men's leggings ‘Rush Seamless Leggings.’ The Rush Seamless Leggings use engineered mesh with a soft knit material and a seamless design to prevent chafing, along with moisture-wicking fabric. The Stretch Woven Shorts, worn over the leggings, reduce the burden of highlighting body lines and feature odor control technology that inhibits the growth of odor-causing microbes. They also include open hand pockets and a side zipper safety pocket for storing small items.

Andar unveiled the ‘Andar Man Capsule Collection,’ which includes men's leggings and short shorts. The collection also features ‘Air스트 Shorts,’ which can be worn over leggings or alone for various styling options. An industry insider said, “As ‘one-mile wear’ worn for outings nearby gains consumer attention, the leggings craze that offers comfort is expected to continue for the time being,” adding, “The industry is also actively targeting the market with pants leggings aimed at consumers who want to enjoy athleisure looks using leggings without feeling burdened.”
