Performance Figure Skating Leggings Sizing Guide

To ensure the best fit for figure skating leggings, it’s important to take precise measurements and consider the fit in both length and width. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Waist Measurement

• Use a soft measuring tape and measure around the smallest part of your waist (typically just above the belly button).
• Make sure the tape is snug but not tight, and keep the tape parallel to the floor.

Hip Measurement

• Measure around the fullest part of your hips, which is typically around the widest point of your glutes.
• Keep the tape comfortably snug but not tight, ensuring the tape remains level.

Length Measurement

• Stand straight with your legs slightly apart.
• Using a soft measuring tape, measure from your waist (where you took your waist measurement) down the front of your leg, all the way to the top of your heel.
• Ensure that the measuring tape stays straight and follows the natural line of your leg.
• Be careful to measure to where you want the leggings to end (typically just above the heel or to the bottom of the skate boot). If you want them to go over the boot, make sure they are long enough to cover it completely.

Fit Considerations

• Compression Fit: If you prefer a tight, supportive fit, consider choosing leggings that offer compression in areas like the thighs and calves.
• Stretch and Flexibility: Look for leggings made of fabrics that offer flexibility and comfort, allowing for full range of motion when skating.
• Waistband Style: Decide whether you want a wide waistband, which can provide more support and stay in place, or a narrow one for a more minimal look.

By using these measurements and considering your personal preferences for fit, you’ll ensure your figure skating leggings provide both comfort and performance. Measurements may vary 1-2cm / 0.5in due to manual measuring.
