Why are capri leggings called capri leggings?

Everyone knows this term by now. But why are these must-haves called that? A certain lady called Sonja de Lennart was passionate about the Italian island of Capri. When she went for a walk on the beach one day, she realized that her leggings were too long and were getting wet. So she shortened them and completed the look with a side cut. And the capri leggings were born!

Are you a capri leggings type?

Now you want to know if caprileggings are also something for you? Then answer the following questions:

• Do you often have hot feet when jogging or dancing?
• Do you have slight water retention in your legs on warm days?
• Would you like to speed up your jogging?
• Are you short?
• Do you want to optimize your body shape?
• Do you do yoga or want to start?

If you answered yes to anything, then you're a capri leggings person!

Here is the explanation:

• Capri leggings cool you down thanks to the cut between your feet and calves. As we all know, when your feet are better cooled, you sweat less.
• If, unfortunately, like me, you sometimes suffer from water retention in summer, then capri leggings will help. If you do sport, blood circulation is stimulated. The mini compression on the lower legs allows the leggings to promote lymph flow. 
• Capri leggings help you move faster as they are tight-fitting and therefore optimize wind dynamics.
• If you are short, these leggings will help you find a suitable length without leaving 10 cm of fabric at the bottom. They also visually lengthen your legs.
• The high waist cut gives these leggings a very slim waist and the length up to the calves makes your legs look slimmer and longer.
• Yoga grounds you. Barefoot and with capris, you have the full experience and enough freedom for your liberating movements.
