Legging Lengths
Length is the first thing that changes how a legging looks and feels. This hub runs through each length from shortest to longest, so you can match the hem to your height, the season and the activity. Browse women's leggings (/collections/womens-leggings-track-bottoms).
Short and cropped
Biker Length
A short legging ending above the knee at mid-thigh.

Knee Length
A legging that finishes at the knee.
What defines it
Knee length sits right at the kneecap, longer than a biker short but still cool and free at the lower leg.
Who it suits

Mid and training lengths
Capri Length
A legging ending mid-calf, between knee and ankle.
What defines it
Capri length finishes mid-calf, a classic cropped training length that keeps the lower leg ventilated.
Who it suits
It suits warm-weather gym and yoga sessions.
Three-Quarter Length
A legging ending below the calf, above the ankle.
What defines it
Three-quarter length sits lower than capri, below the fullest part of the calf, for a little more coverage.

A legging ending just above the ankle bone.
What defines it
The 7/8 length stops a few inches above the ankle, the most popular training length that suits most heights without bunching.
Who it suits
It suits gym, yoga and running across the year.
Full and long
Ankle Length
A legging that finishes at the ankle bone.
What defines it
Ankle length reaches the ankle, giving near-full coverage while keeping the hem clear of the foot.
Who it suits

Full Length
A legging that runs to the top of the foot.
What defines it
Full length covers the whole leg to just above the foot, the warmest and most covering length.
Who it suits

Stirrup Length
A long legging with a loop that hooks under the foot.
What defines it
Stirrup length adds a strap under the arch to hold the hem down, keeping the leg line long and smooth.

Frequently asked questions
What length legging is best for the gym?
A 7/8 or full-length legging is the safest all-round gym choice. The 7/8 length suits most heights and keeps the hem off your trainers, while full length adds warmth and coverage. Capri and biker lengths are better for hot-weather sessions.
How do I choose a legging length for my height?
Shorter frames often prefer 7/8 or ankle length so the hem does not bunch, while taller frames can wear a true full length without it riding up the calf. If in doubt, a 7/8 length is the most forgiving across heights.
What is stirrup legging length?
A stirrup legging has a small strap that loops under the foot to keep the hem pulled down. It keeps the leg line smooth and stops the fabric riding up, which makes it popular for wearing under boots and for dance or barre classes.
