We know your leggings are more than just clothing – they’re your go-to for lounging, lunging and living your best life. No matter what you’re up to, keeping your leggings looking fresh and fabulous is key. Got questions about washing, drying or dealing with mysterious fuzzies? Check out our FAQs below to keep your fav leggings in top shape, wear after wear.


Can I wear leggings multiple times before washing?

Yes! If you wear your leggings casually, you can get multiple wears before washing! However, if you primarily wear leggings to break a sweat, it is best to wash your leggings after each workout session.


Why are my leggings pilling?

Pilling happens when fabric rubs together – it’s totally normal, especially with regular wear. To help prevent it, try washing your leggings inside out and skipping the dryer when you can. A fabric shaver can work magic on pills if they show up!


How do I wash my leggings?

Keep your fav leggings feeling soft and stretchy by washing them in cold water on a gentle cycle. Turn them inside out and avoid washing with rougher fabrics like jeans or towels to protect the fabric and color.


Can I put leggings in the dryer?

You can, but we don’t recommend it. High heat can wear down the stretch and softness over time. If you can, lay them flat or hang them to dry – they’ll thank you for it!


How do I prevent my leggings from stretching out?

Skip the heat and don’t over-wash. Be sure to give even your favorite pair of leggings a break and avoid hanging them by the waistband.


Are leggings see-through?

Aerie leggings are made to move with you and keep you covered! If your leggings are starting to become see through, it might be time to upgrade to a new pair.
