There are so many length of leggings, how do you decide which one is right for you? Leggings are categorized into three main lengths: Capris, Midis, Ankle Length and Long Leggings.
Some of the factors to take into consideration (and questions you should ask yourself) are:
What are your length of legs?
- All of the leggings lengths are measured for an average height of 5'6". If you are much taller (lets say 6') then you have to account that the length of the legging will be different on you. A midi legging that would hit at the bottom of the calf on an "average" height of 5'6" would be more near the very top of your calf if you are 6' tall.What is the temperature when you will primarily be wearing these leggings?
- Do you live in a hot climate where you will be in hotter temperatures most of the time? If so, then you might prefer a capri or midi length as opposed to a longer length legging. If you like to cozy up and wear socks over your leggings then opt for a full long length of a legging instead - so you can comfortably wear boots and not have a space between your socks and leggings.How do you measure your inseam?
- The inseam is measured from the gusset (or lack of better words) the crotch area to the very bottom of the leg. Here's a cute video on how to measure.

MIDI LEGGINGS:
Midi-length leggings are right between a capri and a full length legging. They are another favorite (aside from capris) for women with shorter legs - where a long legging would typically bunch up around the ankles. They hit mid-calf and above the ankle (for an average 5'6" height). They are great for any activity (yoga, hiking or other activities. Shop Midi Leggings
LONG LEGGINGS:
Long-length leggings are a classic and also referred to as a "full length legging". Most of the time when people refer to leggings they are talking about this length.
