History
Leggings first appeared as a kind of men's ceremonial leather trousers and were originally made from the skin of an elk , hence the name. Also - from buckskin , later - from suede . They were very narrow and therefore worn in a moistened form, drying directly on the body [8] . It was very inconvenient and sometimes caused skin wear . In particular, the Russian Emperor Nicholas I suffered from this, and after parades for several days he could not leave the palace [9] .
In Russia, they have been known since the middle of the 18th century , becoming part of uniforms following the example of the Prussian army [10] until 1917. Already in 1984, Alla Pugacheva wore red leggings [11] as a stage costume (in combination with a white T-shirt, gray jacket , white boots and a red scarf ). Once again, they gained popularity as an element of women's fashion in the early 1990s .
Usage
Modern leggings are made from different materials, such as cotton , polyamide , velvet , including with the addition of elastane . Leggings perfectly support the muscles and give a sense of tone .
Thanks to spandex or lycra fibers, leggings sit perfectly on the figure, do not lose shape, stretch well (up to 4 times), remove moisture from the skin outside, blow well, are resistant to stress and wear, and do not constrain movements. They were extremely popular in the 1990s .
Some kind of leggings are called leggings . The difference is that leggings ( English leggings from leg - leg) are a purely female wardrobe item , similar to pantyhose with an open foot, and often translucent, have many colors, for example, “under the skin” and “metallic”, can be with patterns in a mesh. At the same time, leggings are mostly matte or with a characteristic sheen .
Leggings are often chosen by people who lead an active lifestyle, for example, for running or cycling, because they are comfortable to wear and do not interfere with movements.
Almost all artists of the rubber genre, as well as in balancing , aerial gymnastics , rhythmic gymnastics , gymnastics, often wear leggings for training and warm-up .
