Leggings have an interesting and multifaceted history spanning centuries, and their current popularity reflects not only fashion, but also changes in cultural attitudes towards comfort, sport and self-expression. Countries where leggings are most popular include the United States and Canada: Leaders in the athleisure trend, with brands such as Lululemon and Nike. The United Kingdom, where cities such as London and Belfast show a high use of leggings, both in sporty and casual contexts. Australia and New Zealand are also big consumers of leggings due to their active lifestyle. In Northern Europe, countries such as Germany, Sweden and Norway stand out for the functional and practical use of leggings in cold climates or in outdoor activities. In Latin America, countries such as Brazil and Argentina have adopted leggings as part of sports fashion, especially in gym or yoga contexts. In Asia, countries like South Korea and Japan have also integrated leggings as part of their urban and sporty style. For some reason that has not ceased to attract our attention, of all the places we are visiting, it is here, in Northern Ireland, where this type of garment is most abundant today, as we can see in these streets of Belfast. The other countries we have visited and where we have noticed some kind of participation of leggings in women's clothing are Scotland, England, Germany and the Balkans, but not in Poland, the Nordic countries or the countries of the former Soviet Union. In the 14th-17th centuries leggings were originally used as tight-fitting garments for men, mainly in Europe. They were a kind of trousers divided into two parts (one for each leg) and were made of wool or leather to protect against the cold. In the 20th century during the 50s and 60s and thanks to the development of elastic fabrics such as spandex (lycra), leggings began to transform into more practical and modern garments. In the 80s, leggings became an icon of sports fashion, popularized by the explosion of aerobics and figures like Jane Fonda. During this time, colorful and bright leggings were a symbol of vitality and modernity. From the 2000s onwards, leggings came back strongly as a versatile garment, mixing sports fashion and casual wear, thanks to the rise of brands like Lululemon and the athlete trend. Leggings today have multiple meanings depending on the context and the intention of use. They are extremely comfortable due to their elasticity and adaptability to the body. Their design allows freedom of movement, making them ideal for physical activities such as yoga, running or simply relaxing at home. Leggings come in a wide variety of colors, prints and materials, allowing women to express their individuality through this garment. They are a symbol of acceptance of the body as it is, as they embrace natural shapes without imposing a rigid standard of beauty. In many cases, wearing leggings challenges traditional notions of “modesty” or how women “should” dress, emphasizing the right to wear what makes them feel good. The trend of sportswear worn in casual contexts has made leggings a key piece in contemporary fashion. They can be paired with jackets, boots, or t-shirts for a casual yet modern look. Leggings have come a long way from their functional origins to becoming a key piece of clothing in contemporary fashion and culture. For many women, they represent comfort, style, and a form of empowerment. The use of leggings is most popular in countries with a strong casual or sportswear culture, but their versatility has made them a global phenomenon, although there is still a great geographical disparity between regions that have adopted them, and those that have not. Living slowly, without rushing or setbacks, is a good way to enjoy life. Don’t forget that your rhythm is that of your feet, for some reason nature did not put wheels on us. As long as the body goes at the speed of the soul, we can continue being ourselves. #OpenYourWindowToTheWorld #TravelingIsHyperLiving 🌎 Subtitles in Portuguese, Italian, German, French, Russian and English. 🔎 I am Gustavo Llusá, Argentine, after traveling for several years through more than 75 countries I settled in Latvia where I married Dace and learned to know another way of life, on the other side of the map.
