Did you know?
- While леггинсы is common, some Russians use the term лосины, which historically referred to a specific type of shiny, athletic tights from the Soviet era.
- Depending on the context, леггинсы can be confused with колготки, which refers specifically to pantyhose or tights that are worn under other clothes.
- Because леггинсы is a relatively new loanword, many older Russian speakers may not recognize it at all, preferring much older Russian descriptions of tight-fitting trousers.
