Start with the fabric facts
The Raspberry Leggings are made from 74% recycled polyester and 26% elastane, giving them a soft, stretchy feel with gentle compression. They also carry UPF 50+ sun protection, so they are a good choice for sunny walks or errands. Because the fabric blends polyester and elastane, a little care goes a long way toward keeping the color rich and the stretch intact.
The product record does not include specific washing instructions or temperature settings. The guidance below is general best practice for this type of fabric, not a manufacturer instruction. When in doubt, a cool, gentle wash and air drying are the safest habits for stretchy activewear.

How to wash Raspberry Leggings without dulling the color
These steps are general recommendations for polyester-elastane activewear. The product record does not specify exact wash temperatures or drying methods, so use your judgment and check any care label that comes with your pair.
- Turn them inside out: This reduces surface friction and helps protect the outer color from pilling or fading.
- Use cold water and a gentle cycle: Cool water is gentler on elastane and helps preserve the fabric's stretch and color.
- Skip fabric softener: Softener can coat stretch fibers and reduce their ability to recover. A mild detergent is enough.
- Air dry when possible: Lay flat or hang to dry. If you use a dryer, choose low heat to limit shrinkage and wear on the elastane.
Keep the color vibrant between washes
To help your Raspberry Leggings stay rich in color, wash them with similar colors and avoid overloading the machine. Turn them inside out before washing, and avoid bleach or harsh detergents. If you need to spot clean, test a small hidden area first.
Repeated high heat is the main enemy of stretch fabrics. Air drying not only protects the elastane but also reduces the chance of color fade over time.
Choosing your size from the waist and hip chart
The leggings come in sizes 2XS through 6XL. The size guide lists waist and hip measurements in inches. Measure your natural waist and the fullest part of your hips, then match to the closest size. If you are between sizes, consider whether you prefer a more compressive feel (size down) or a roomier fit (size up).
- 2XS: waist 23 5/8 in, hips 33 7/8 in: Smallest listed size.
- XS: waist 25 1/4 in, hips 35 3/8 in: Measure to confirm.
- S: waist 26 3/4 in, hips 37 in: A common starting point for many shoppers.
- M: waist 28 3/8 in, hips 38 5/8 in: Check both measurements.
- L: waist 31 1/2 in, hips 41 3/4 in: Hip measurement often matters most for leggings.
- XL: waist 34 5/8 in, hips 44 7/8 in: Use a flexible tape measure.
- 2XL: waist 37 3/4 in, hips 48 in: Measure over light clothing.
- 3XL: waist 41 in, hips 51 1/8 in: Confirm your hip measurement.
- 4XL: waist 44 1/8 in, hips 54 3/8 in: Sizes continue to 6XL.
- 5XL: waist 47 1/4 in, hips 57 1/2 in: Check the full chart for accuracy.
- 6XL: waist 50 3/8 in, hips 60 5/8 in: Largest listed size.
Everyday styling that works with the high-rise fit
The high-rise waist and side pockets make these leggings easy to style for casual days. Pair them with a loose tunic or an oversized tee for errands, or add a fitted top and sneakers for a walk. The two side pockets are sized for small essentials like a phone, keys, or a Nature's Bakery Fig Bar, so you can skip the bag on short outings.
For a sporty look, wear them with a cropped hoodie and athletic shoes. For a more relaxed feel, try a long cardigan and slip-on shoes. The semi-compressive fabric gives a smooth silhouette without feeling restrictive.
Fit details worth knowing
- Raspberry Leggings: High-rise fit with one pocket on each side The high rise stays in place during movement, and the pockets add everyday convenience.
- Raspberry Leggings: Triangle gusset for added comfort and mobility The gusset improves range of motion and reduces friction, which is useful for active days.
