Leggings are also sometimes known as skin-tight trousers, a tighter version of the capris ending at mid-calf or near ankle length. These bottom wear were earlier worn with a large belt or waistband and slip-on high heels or ballet flat–styled shoes.

Leggings prominently became women’s fashion in the 1960s, drawing from the form-fitting clothing of dancers.
