Always confirm with the brand’s own size chart: compression lines and petite or tall ranges can differ by a full size.
How to measure for leggings
- Waist: measure around the narrowest part of your torso, usually just above the belly button. Keep the tape level and snug, not tight.
- Hips: stand with feet together and measure around the fullest part of your seat. This is the most important number for leggings.
- Inseam: for length, measure from the crotch to where you want the hem to end, or use the LEGGIC Length Finder.
- Measure over underwear, not over clothing, and breathe normally.
Why the same size fits differently
There is no global legal standard for clothing sizes. Each brand builds its own chart from its target customers, so a “Medium” can differ by 4–6 cm in the hips between brands.
Compression leggings are cut smaller than relaxed or lounge styles on purpose. A brand may recommend sizing up for comfort or down for support — read its fit note.
Fabric matters too: a high-elastane, firm knit holds you in, while a soft brushed fabric relaxes over a day of wear.
Between two sizes?
- Choose the smaller size for running, gym and high-support styles, if the hips measurement is near the top of that range.
- Choose the larger size for everyday wear, long flights, maternity-friendly comfort or if the waistband tends to dig in.
- If the waistband rolls down in your usual size, the issue is often rise, not size.
Size questions
Is a UK 10 the same as a US 6?
Yes, in women’s clothing UK sizes are usually four numbers above US sizes, so a UK 10 is roughly a US 6 and an EU 36.
What size is EU 38 in leggings?
EU 38 is usually a Medium (US 8, UK 12). In Italian sizing the same garment is often labelled 44.
Should leggings be tight?
Leggings should be close-fitting without pressure marks, rolling or see-through stretching. If the fabric turns shiny or sheer over the hips, the size is too small.
Do leggings sizes run small?
Compression and performance styles often run small. Lounge and cotton-blend leggings usually run true to size or slightly large.
How do I convert waist inches to a leggings size?
Switch the tool to inches. As a guide, a 26–27 in waist is usually Small and a 28–29.5 in waist Medium — but always confirm with your hip measurement.
