During the pandemic, gyms and fitness centers across the country shut down, leading many people to start exercising at home. Maybe you wore an old pair of sweatpants every time you did your aerobics tape or wore no pants at all while practicing yoga.
Now that the pandemic is over, heading back to the gym means you should consider your workout attire. Gym-goers might not appreciate you working out in tattered pants or no pants. It’s time to invest in new workout clothes, like a stylish pair of leggings. Customized leggings can really help you stand out. When you wear a trendy workout outfit, people at the gym will notice and might even compliment you. A great outfit can be an easy conversation starter.
There are two main ways to make custom leggings: you can buy leggings and embellish them yourself, or you can design your own leggings wholesale by using an on-demand printer online. If people like the style of your leggings, you could even turn this into a side hustle.
On-demand printers let you design your own clothing. You simply visit the company’s website and upload your design. Then, you select the article of clothing you want your design printed on.
A good on-demand company offers a wide selection of clothing. If you’re not great at drawing, you can upload a photo. Many companies also offer online tools to add text or clip art.
Designing leggings is a bit different from designing other clothes. For shirts, you usually center the image on the front. For jackets, it’s typically centered on the back. With leggings, you have several design options.
A small drawing or photograph will appear all over the leggings. Pictures of pets are popular for this style. You could cover your leggings with tiny images of anything significant to you, like jars of mustard if you’re a mustard fan.
If you love avocados, go for avocado-covered leggings. Hearts could make cute Valentine’s Day leggings. Feeling alone on Valentine’s Day? Put a picture of your ex with a line through it.
Alternatively, you could place a large image on each leg. Put salt on one leg and pepper on the other. Animal lovers might put a cat on one leg and a dog on the other. You could also use one large image that spans both legs.
Try a chocolate cupcake on one knee and a vanilla cupcake on the other. You could even place an image on the back to make it look like you sat on something.
For a more serious design, your leggings don’t have to be humorous. Floral patterns are always nice, and geometrical shapes work well too. A straight line down each leg can make your legs look longer and leaner.
If you have old leggings that are still in good condition, you can add some flair. Short leggings can be lengthened with ribbons at the bottom. Turn a pair of visually appealing leggings into bell bottoms by following online tutorials.
If tight leggings aren’t your thing, consider getting a pair with flared legs. These leggings are loose at the bottom and can be dressed up with a long sweater, high heels, and jewelry if you’re heading somewhere after the gym.
Exercising might feel like a chore, but it’s essential for your health. Wearing a fun pair of leggings can brighten everyone’s day, even during a tough workout.
