leggings
The English phrase "leggings" is translated into Italian as leggings.
leggings refers to tight-fitting stretch trousers that cover the legs from the waist to the ankles. Additionally, the term collant can be used to describe tights.
Did you know?
- Unlike English, where 'leggings' is always plural, in Italian, you will often see il legging used in the singular to refer to a single pair of the garment.
- While leggings is common, Italians often use the word leggings as a masculine noun, but the related word for tights, collant, is always masculine regardless of who wears them.
- The word collant is borrowed from the French language and refers specifically to the pantyhose style that includes a foot, unlike leggings which end at the ankle.
