The Hayley Joy basic leggings are one of our true basics. They have been engineered to fit like true Plus size leggings should…into the waist, and with the correct shaping to prevent them from rolling down under the tummy, when you sit down and stand up.

I can hear you saying, “yes exactly”!
I’m often asked how I know what is required to design styles for true Plus size shapes, that genuinely fit and flatter. Well here’s the thing, I am a Plus size myself, so it makes sense that I should be a magician at designing for odd and Plus sizes. I have a design policy that I use for all new designs…I design, we sample, and I test drive them by wearing them for a couple of hours, in the factory, going about my normal job.

I have a very basic checklist for new styles, the leggings one looked like this:
1. Sit perfectly in the waist.
2. MUST NOT ROLL DOWN when sitting and standing up. (This is all in the back crutch design, which I take into account, because it cannot be the same as it is for normal sizes.)
3. Added bonus would be, if the leggings kept their shape all day and didn’t make knees. (Not always achievable, but I try my best to check the quality of the stretch before they go into production.)
4. Make sure that the non-curl elastic does its job and doesn’t twist, and that the elastic is loose enough that it doesn’t dig into the waist, especially if they’re being worn for exercise purposes.

I can absolutely vouch for the HJ leggings. I wear them for Pilates and never have to adjust them. I wear them to work in with long funky tops, and I wear them smart/casual as well.
I love the comfort factor, and it’s soooooo important for me to go through a day, in a garment that doesn’t make me feel like I want to rip it off at lunchtime.

The basic Black leggings are a great basic, but I do love the printed ones, as they provide great cover on my, not so perfect legs.
