Shaping leggings have become a must-have in women's athletic wardrobes. But with so many models available, how do you choose the one that best suits your body type? AURA FIT guides you.
What is a shaping legging?
Shaping leggings are designed with compressive fabrics—typically a blend of Polyamide and Elastane—that sculpt the figure, support muscles, and provide a flat stomach effect. Unlike classic leggings, they exert a slight, uniform compression on the legs and waist.
Choosing according to your body type
A-shape body type (wide hips)
Opt for high-waisted leggings with a wide waistband that slims the waist and balances proportions. Dark colors like deep black or burgundy are particularly flattering. Our AURA FIT Flared High-Waisted Leggings are ideal for this body type.
H-shape body type (straight silhouette)
Choose leggings with visual details on the hips—contrasting seams, side cut-outs—to create the illusion of curves. Bright colors or subtle patterns work very well.
O-shape body type (round silhouette)
Opt for high-waisted leggings with a wide, well-structured waistband for optimal support. High-compression fabrics like 80% Polyamide are your best allies for a perfect shape.
V-shape body type (wide shoulders)
All legging styles suit you! Take advantage of this to dare light colors and original cuts like the flared model.
Essential criteria to check
- Fabric composition: Minimum 70% Polyamide for good support
- Waistband height: A high waist (8-10 cm) offers the best shaping
- Seams: Flat and non-irritating for comfort during exercise
- Durability: Check that the fabric withstands repeated washing
