High-Waisted Leggings

High-waisted leggings sit above the navel, supporting your core through every squat instead of sliding down mid-set. Our high-waisted leggings pair that rise with TENCEL Lyocell and recycled elastane, so the waistband that stays put is also PFAS-free and OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified.

What Are High-Waisted Leggings, Exactly

High-waisted leggings are cut to sit above the navel rather than at the hip, which gives these leggings a sculpting, supportive feel through the core and keeps the waistband from sliding down mid-set. Ours use an elasticated TENCEL and recycled elastane waistband that holds that rise without digging in or rolling.

Built Without the Usual Chemicals

Most high-waisted leggings still rely on virgin polyester and spandex treated with PFAS-based water-repellent finishes. Ours use TENCEL Lyocell, OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified and verified free of PFAS, formaldehyde, and azo dyes, so the waistband against your skin isn't hiding anything.

FAQs

What are high-waisted leggings?

High-waisted leggings, sometimes called high-rise leggings, are cut to sit above the navel instead of at the hip. That higher rise supports your core and keeps the waistband from sliding during squats, running, or bending over.

Do high-waisted leggings run small?

Ours run true to size through the hip and thigh. Check the size chart below and size up if you're between sizes, since a tight fit at the waistband is the main thing that causes rolling or digging in.

Are these leggings squat-proof?

Yes. The same opaque, four-way stretch TENCEL and recycled elastane blend used across every KeAloha legging holds its coverage through deep squats and stretching.

What's the fabric made of?

TENCEL Lyocell and recycled elastane. TENCEL comes from responsibly sourced wood pulp processed in a closed loop, and it's OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified free of PFAS and formaldehyde.
