Have you been struggling with your leggings falling down and bunching up around your knees?

Leggings are considered one of the most comfortable articles of clothing to wear around the house or running errands in town.

But sometimes, we’ll encounter problems with these stretchy items, especially if it’s not of good quality – the most common being that they slide down and you find yourself tugging up your pants.

We want our leggings to stay where they belong without having to keep adjusting them throughout the day because no one wants their lower half sticking out while walking (or worse yet) at work!

Here are some hacks to keep your leggings from rolling down.

Why Do My Leggings Fall Down?

There are many possible explanations as to why leggings fall down, but one of the most common reasons is that they are not meant to be worn as pants. Leggings and tights are typically made of thinner, stretchier material than jeans or other pants, which can make them more likely to slide down.

Additionally, they may not have a waistband that is snug enough to keep them in place. Another possibility is that the leggings are too tight, which can cause them to stretch and sag over time.

How To Stop Tights & Leggings From Falling Down And Stay Up?

If you’re anything like me, leggings are one of your go-to pants for any occasion. But like any other piece of clothing, they can get a little frustrating when they keep falling down. So here are some tips to help keep your leggings up all day long!

Make sure that you are wearing the correct size leggings. If they are too small, they will be tight and will stretch over time, and are likely to fall down. If they are too large, they will be loose and also likely to slide down.

Choose high-quality leggings made from a stretchy fabric. Leggings that are made from a low-quality fabric or that do not have any stretch will probably roll down more often than those that do.

1. Wear A Waistband To Keep The Leggings From Falling Down

This first solution is a simple one: wear a waistband or belt with your leggings.

This way they will never go anywhere near being saggy at the top!

To wear a waistband with your leggings, first find one that is long enough to wrap around your hips.

You can also use a belt to layer up and make a style statement.

You want to make sure that you are wearing the right sized belt for your body type and style preference, though.

A mistake that you can make when wearing a belt with leggings is picking one that doesn’t match the leggings outfit. Just make sure to mix and match and select the ones that fit.

2. Put On Some Stockings Under Your Leggings Tights Or Pants To Make It Stay Up

If you are someone who is constantly bending and squatting to pick things up or walk around the house, a falling pair of leggings can come in the way of doing your chores.

One way to remedy this problem is by wearing stockings underneath the leggings, that are thinner than the leggings themselves so they don’t slide or fall down.

But note that it can also be uncomfortable if it gets too tight or if it pulls on the skin in a sensitive area of your leg.

There’s no one solution that fits all, it’s testing out what works for you and then going with it.

3. Try A Different Style Of Legging Or Tights, Such As High-Waisted Or Above-Knee

There are so many different types of leggings such as high-waisted, above the knee, three-fourths, etc., that might help you with this issue.

High-waisted leggings such as workout leggings and yoga pants offer a high waistband that keeps your legging stay above your waist without sliding or rolling down.

In addition to that, it makes your waist appear slimmer too.

If you have issues with leggings bunching up around the knees, then try the above-knee leggings or shorts-type leggings.

These are the most casual-looking type and can be worn with anything from sneakers to heels. 

4. Wear A Longer Shirt Or Tunic With The Tights

If you are embarrassed about your leggings falling down, then pair them with a longer shirt or tunic that can cover them up.

Pairing your legging or tights with a longer shirt or tunic can also be an excellent way to style your leggings outfit.

The general rule is that the length of your top should be at least 3 inches shorter than the inseam of your leggings. This way, it doesn’t ride up and expose any skin.

5. Use Suspenders To Keep The Leggings / Pants Up & Roll Down

Do you love the look of leggings paired with suspenders? If the answer is yes, then suspenders it is – to keep leggings up.

You’ll get both form and function with this pairing and what’s more, they provide an edgier kind of look.

Suspenders are often seen as being too masculine or old-fashioned, which is why women may hesitate to wear them with their leggings.

But if you are the sort who gives two hoots about gender preferences, give it a try, and who knows, you might even start to advocate it.

6. Wear A Tighter Fit Of Leggings To Stop It From Sliding Down

Well, this one’s a no-brainer, after all, who doesn’t know this?

Well, try out a size smaller than your normal size and see how that works for you.

It could be that the leggings might have stretched a bit over time or you might have shed some kilos that are leading to the Slide.

A word of caution though, wearing leggings with a tighter fit can be tricky and you should choose the right outfit to go with them without looking like you’re trying too hard.

7. Wear Underwear With Tights & Leggings To Keep It Falling Down

If you are the type who’d like to go commando, wearing underwear with leggings is a great way to avoid the dreaded ‘rolling down’ problem.

Leggings are meant to be worn without anything underneath, but sometimes they can give you the slip and slide around your thighs.

If you feel like this might happen to you, try wearing underwear beneath your leggings for some added security!

Also, keep in mind that the type of underwear that you choose can also make a difference.

Thick padded ones would help in holding the leggings up in place while thinner ones may not.

So try out a few different ones and see what works for you.

Good-quality Leggings will have a 4-way stretch fabric, meaning it stretches and recovers making it a snug fit and one that would last for a long time.

The elastic waistband makes sure that the leggings stay up in place and don’t slide.
