The Women's Buttery Soft Lounge Leggings For Yoga And Everyday W are built to work as both activewear and everyday casual — the fabric weight and finish sit between the obviously athletic and the plainly casual, which means they read differently depending on what you pair with them. The waistband is high enough to stay in place through exercise but comfortable enough to wear through a full day of regular movement. Available in Black, Charcoal, Brown.
What Makes These Stand Out
- Available in sizes XXS, XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL — see the size guide below before ordering
- Comes in Black, Charcoal, Brown, Gray — each colorway has distinct styling potential depending on how casual or elevated you want the outfit to read
Fit & Sizing
Size up when in doubt. A legging that's a size too small creates visible tension lines across the hips and thighs and causes the waistband to fold or roll throughout the day. Sizing up gives the right compression — supportive without feeling restrictive — and the waistband sits flat. The elastane content means sizing up doesn't create a baggy look; the fabric has enough recovery to stay fitted to the larger size. Sizes: XXS, XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL.
How to Style
The top determines whether these read as athleisure or casual-everyday. A cropped athletic top signals gym; a longline cardigan, structured blazer, or oversized coat signals intentional casual. For a polished result: high waist leggings plus a tucked-in fitted blouse plus clean loafers or ankle boots. Avoid sheer or flowing tops with leggings — the contrast between a fluid top and a tight bottom creates visual imbalance. Structured, fitted, or slightly cropped tops keep proportions correct.
Fabric & Care
Wash cold inside-out on a gentle cycle — hot water and fabric softener are what cause leggings to go saggy, not the amount of washing. Fabric softener coats the elastane fibres and reduces their snap; hot water degrades the stretch recovery. Air dry to extend the elastic life, or tumble dry on low occasionally.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before you buy
What size should I order if I'm between sizes on the Women's Buttery Soft Lounge Leggings For Yoga And Everyday W? +
Size up when in doubt. A legging that's a size too small creates visible tension lines across the hips and thighs, and the waistband will fold or roll down throughout the day rather than sitting flat. Sizing up gives you the right compression — supportive without feeling restrictive — and the waistband sits cleanly. These aren't so loose when sized up that they look baggy; the fabric has enough recovery to stay fitted.
Are the Women's Buttery Soft Lounge Leggings For Yoga And Everyday W squat-proof and do they stay opaque when stretched? +
The fabric is a nylon-spandex blend at approximately 80/20 — the ratio that delivers the best combination of opacity, stretch recovery, and durability. At this ratio the fabric doesn't thin out or turn sheer when stretched across the hips and seat, which cheaper 50/50 blends do. The four-way stretch means the fabric pulls equally in every direction — no diagonal drag lines across the thighs when moving. To test opacity: put your hand inside the leg and hold them up to a light source.
Do the Women's Buttery Soft Lounge Leggings For Yoga And Everyday W work for petite frames or do they need altering? +
At a true petite height (under 5'2") these will likely need a 3–5cm hem taken up — the standard inseam is cut for an average height of around 5'5". Other than length, the proportions work well: the waist and hip measurements scale correctly to petite frames, and the cut doesn't change in a way that looks proportionally wrong. The rise and pocket placement are the more critical details for petite fits: a high rise elongates the leg; a pocket that sits too low (below mid-thigh) can visually shorten an already short.
How do I keep the Women's Buttery Soft Lounge Leggings For Yoga And Everyday W from losing their stretch after multiple washes? +
Two things kill legging elasticity: hot water and fabric softener. Wash cold, inside-out, on a gentle cycle. Fabric softener coats the elastane fibers and causes them to lose their snap — the pants will still stretch but they won't bounce back with the same tension. Tumble dry on low is fine occasionally; air drying extends the elastic life longer. Most leggings that go saggy after six months were either washed in warm water or dried on high heat regularly.
What can I wear over the Women's Buttery Soft Lounge Leggings For Yoga And Everyday W to make them work outside an athletic context? +
The top you wear is what determines whether leggings read as athleisure or casual-everyday. A cropped athletic top signals gym; a longline cardigan, structured blazer, or oversized coat signals intentional casual. For a polished result: high waist leggings + tucked-in fitted blouse + clean loafers or ankle boots. The high waistband doing visible work above a tuck-in top looks considered rather than lazy.
Are the Women's Buttery Soft Lounge Leggings For Yoga And Everyday W long enough for taller frames — do they hit the right length at 5'8"+? +
At 5'8" the standard inseam on most styles hits just at or slightly above the ankle, which reads as a deliberate cropped length rather than too-short. At 5'10"+ there's usually a 3–5cm gap between the hem and the floor, which looks intentional in wide-leg or jogger styles but can look abruptly short in straight-leg or formal styles. The practical answer: check the listed inseam length against your body measurement (floor to hip) minus the rise, and if the result is under your inseam length, the pants will work.
