Above Ankle Leggings?

11 replies

Hi All

I am looking for some leggings that aren't full length - I want them above the ankle bone if that makes sense? So that there is a noticeable gap between your trainer and your legging? Is there a name for such things?!

A bit like cropped jeans? I just feel they are more flattering - does anyone know what I mean?

I see so many people wearing them but cannot find them!

Any hints or tips gratefully received

Capri length or cropped leggings

Sweaty Betty have 7/8th length leggings. They are longer than “capri” which are more like a 3/4 length.

Capri usually come to below the knee / mid
calf length depending on how tall you are. Some brands (including sweaty Betty) do 7/8 length which tend to be ankle grazing unless you’re shorter (one of my friends wears them as full length leggings).

Thank you both. Yes I think it's like a 7/8 length isn't it rather than capri which seems to be under the knee?

Depending on your height the Sweaty Betty power 7/8 as per previous poster. Expensive but mine have lasted 6 years, washed twice a week, and still going strong. MS do something similar in their good moves range too.

I got some a few years ago from Boden. They did different lengths

Sweaty Betty do that length. Their fabrics are nowhere near as good as they used to be though, imo. I think since they were bought out.

Yes I wear 7/8 ones from fabletics

Sweaty betty 7/8 length is good. Plenty of pairs on Vinted.

Raisinganiguana · 03/11/2023 23:36

New look 3/4 length

Bamboo sell 7/8 length leggings too.
