As human beings we strive to be differently the same ( a bit of an oxymoron – but hear me out). We promote our individuality through everything we do, and wear. And let’s face it, no matter how different we are, we all love a trend – even if it’s just to make fun of it.
In November 2020, in the midst of covid, a trend emerged – Scrunch Leggings. Not only would it go viral, seemingly overnight, but it’s still trending today in Australia!
What are Scrunch bum leggings?
Scrunch bum leggings are high-waist style exercise leggings in honey-cone textured fabric, featuring a well placed scrunch in the lower back. This scrunch accentuates your butt shape by essentially ‘scrunching’ up the material in the middle of your butt cheeks. This allows the material to stretch and basically cradling each individual butt cheek, making your booty pop – definitely turning a few heads your way.
Best part of these leggings is that they also help hide a bit of that cellulite we all feel self conscious about (even though we shouldn’t!).
These leggings come in a variety of colours and lengths! You can show off your legs and make your booty pop with the scrunch bum shorts or have both – have a scrunch collection. The best part yet – you can use these leggings and scrunch shorts as activewear or casual wear!
As gym wear they are squat proof with breathable, soft fabric – you can do just about anything in these scrunch bum leggings and shorts! As casual wear, they are as comfortable as pyjamas but still making you look active whilst running errands or casually relaxing on the sofa. Lets face it, we all want a piece of clothing that can make you feel confident no matter where you are or what you’re doing.
Where can I buy scrunch bum leggings?
The scrunch bum leggings are still in such high demand that now you can find them in most clothing stores, it doesn’t even need to be a sports store! Their immense popularity means that you easily type in ‘scrunch bum leggings‘ or ‘scrunch bum shorts’ on any online search engine and you’ll have loads of options on where to buy them and for good prices too.
The biggest sellers of these scrunch bum leggings and scrunch bum shorts are Amazon – no surprise there! So why not add them to your wish list, or purchase them – as a treat to yourself!
What are the best scrunch bum leggings?
Even though scrunch bum leggings and scrunch bum shorts can be bought almost everywhere it is important to keep in mind that they might not be the best quality. We all know the frustrations of clothing losing their elasticity after multiple washes, and no longer providing the support and comfort we wanted. We want good quality clothing, and it’s no different when it comes to activewear or casual wear.
A few things to avoid when purchasing scrunch bum leggings and shorts:
- Cheaper knockoffs made with flimsy material that get worn out easily and lose their elasticity after a few washes or even after a few times of them being worn.
- Leggings and shorts that are ill-fitting and that either bunch up or roll up or roll down in areas they shouldn’t when you’re moving in them. You want the material to feel comfortable like a second skin moving along with you.
- Avoid leggings and shorts made with see-through material that may make you feel uncomfortable and exposed. See-through material tends to be relatively thin and doesn’t always tend to be flattering.
- Especially avoid scrunch bum leggings and scrunch bum shorts that are unflattering to your figure – that’s the exact opposite of what the scrunch bum leggings should be doing! They should be hugging every curve from your ankle or knees to your hips, providing a lift to your butt, to accentuate your already sexy legs, hips, waist and butt.
Your best bet, to purchase good quality scrunch bum leggings and scrunch bum shorts, is by doing so off active wear clothing stores online or at your local sport clothing store.
Here is a list of a few online stores here in Australia that have good ratings on their scrunch bum leggings and scrunch bum shorts : Muscle Nation, Xahara Active, Ryderwear, Evolve Apparel, LaSculpte, Stop It I Like It, Baller Babe.
The aim is to have scrunch bum leggings that flatter your butt, legs, hip and waist. That fits you like a glove and that makes you feel confident and comfortable whilst you’re wearing them. The sole purpose of the scrunch bum leggings and shorts is to make you feel happy and to accentuate your already sexy figure.
