The perfect leggings for women – where high performance meets quiet luxury
Finding the perfect pair of leggings is often like looking for a needle in a haystack. Some are perfect for the gym, but too shiny and technical for everyday wear. Others are soft cotton basics, but stretch out after two hours and become see-through at the knee.
At OMNANA, we've reimagined the category. Our mission was to create hybrid leggings that make no compromises. Leggings that support you during morning yoga, create an elegant silhouette with blazers and loafers at the office, and remain squat-proof and slip-resistant during your evening HIIT workout.
Discover sportswear that doesn't feel like sportswear. Discover MUSE™ leggings.
Materials science: Why we use polyamide (nylon) instead of polyester
If you search for "black leggings," you'll find thousands of offers. However, the difference between a €20 pair and a premium product lies invisibly in the thread: the polymer.
Nylon vs. Polyester – The feel test
Many brands use polyester (PET) because it's inexpensive. The problem: polyester fibers are often smooth, shiny, and can trap body odors. At OMNANA, we consciously choose high-quality polyamide (Nylon 6.6).
- Cotton-touch feel: Our fibers are refined to feel as soft as cotton ("buttery soft"), but possess the functional power of sportswear.
- Matte finish: Thanks to the special weave, we eliminate the typical "gym shine". The result is a deep, rich matte finish that makes your leggings perfectly suitable for the office.
The elasticity equation: 25% high-performance elastane
Leggings are only as good as their recovery. Cheap models often use only 10-15% elastane. The result: The pants bag at the knees and constantly need to be pulled up. Our leggings use 25% high-performance elastane. This ensures:
- Gentle compression: Shapes the legs and buttocks without cutting into the skin.
- Shape retention: Even after 100 squats or 8 hours at the desk, the waistband stays exactly where it should be.
High Waist & Squat Proof – What does that really mean?
100% Opaque (Squat Proof)
Nothing is more frustrating than leggings that become see-through during a deep squat or downward-facing dog. Our solution is interlock knitting. Unlike conventional single jersey, two layers of fibers are woven so tightly together that the stitches don't open when stretched. The result: complete opacity, even at maximum stretch. You see results, not underwear.
The anti-slip high waistband
A high waist is standard these days, but the construction determines the support. We avoid digging elastic bands at the top. Instead, we use seamless bonding technology or double-layered fabric constructions that fit like a second skin. No rolling down, no slipping – no matter how active your day is.
Styling Guide: How to style your leggings for everyday wear
The lines between activewear and ready-to-wear are blurring. The "athleisure" trend is evolving into "quiet luxury sport." Here are three ways to style your OMNANA leggings:
- The office look: Combine the matte black leggings with a white oversized shirt, a loose blazer, and chunky loafers. Since our leggings don't have any large, distracting logos, they look like slim-fitting trousers.
- The Coffee Run: Wear them with a trench coat, cap, sports socks over leggings and your favorite retro sneakers.
- The studio set: Pair them classically with the matching MUSE™ bra or top for a monochromatic, elongated look that makes you appear taller.
