They'd cling to the body.

Hi Reader

Leggings are made with stretchy fabrics usually lycra so that they're figure hugging but the essential bit is in a band of elastic at the waist:

Susan,,I wouldn't be seen dead in them I'm afraid. They remind me of Max Wall,,to whom they were his trademark.

I would be careful what you say...Reader might ask you to personally model them for him and demonstrate exactly how they work ie the putting on, holding up and taking off   ;) ;D

Was lycra in use in the mid 1980s. I resall wearing stretchy cotton leggings in the early 1990s and they went baggy at the knees. Not a pretty sight.

Hi April

Yes I recall having a fluorescent orange pair  8)  I'm pretty sure they were lycra if not similar eg spandex  8)  There were cotton ones about about but they didn't hold shape.
