You’re setting your feet, rolling your shoulders back, and taking a deep breath before dropping into a deep squat. You’re feeling strong, capable, and totally in your element. But right as you reach the bottom, that little voice sneaks in: “Wait, are these leggings showing my undies right now?”
Nothing ruins a great workout like sheer fabric worries. At Aerie, we believe you should be focusing on how strong you feel, whether your leggings are becoming see-through when you bend and stretch. Our squat-proof leggings are tested on REAL bodies of all shapes and sizes, so you can lift, move, and stretch with zero worries and total confidence.
Why Ours Stay Fully Covered
Ever wonder why some leggings get see-through? When fabric stretches too far, it thins out and lets light—and whatever you’re wearing underneath—shine right through. We designed ours differently so you never have to second-guess.
- Double-Layered Softness: Crafted with a rich, dense weave that keeps things totally covered, even at full stretch.
- Soft Matte Finish: Keeps colors looking deep and solid without any weird shine or sheen when you bend.
- Made to Bounce Back: Retains its shape and buttery feel workout after workout, wash after wash.
