Where Should Capri Leggings Hit? Measure Before You Buy

To figure out where capri leggings will land, compare the garment’s inseam with a pair you own. The same inseam can hit two people at different points on the calf.

Start with a pair that sits where you like

Lay your reference leggings flat without pulling the fabric. Measure from the crotch seam down the inside leg to the hem. Then measure the front rise from the crotch seam to the top of the waistband. Rise matters because a pair that sits higher or lower at the waist can change how the hem feels once it’s on.

Compare inseam and waist in the same size

The Fieldtime Capri Leggings size chart lists laid-flat half-waist width, inseam and front rise. For example, the listed inseam is 18½ inches in XS, 20⅛ inches in M and 22½ inches in XL. These are garment measurements. Measure your reference waistband straight across on a flat surface so you’re comparing it with the chart’s half-waist width.

Check the hem while you move

Try your reference pair with the shoes you’ll wear. Bend your knee and take a long step. If you dislike a hem just below the knee or around the widest part of your calf, write down the inseam that feels better. The Black Capri Leggings use four-way stretch fabric and are offered in XS through XL. Use the chart to narrow down the size before you order.
