Legging is a type of skin-tight garment that covers the legs and may extend as far down as the ankles.
Modern leggings are typically made from a blend of lycra, nylon, cotton, or polyester blend, giving them a stretchy characteristic.
The term "legging" can also refer to:
1. A fashion item worn by both men and women
2. Athletic wear for workouts and sports
3. Part of traditional costumes in some cultures
