Choosing organic cotton leggings
Organic cotton leggings feel soft and breathable, and a small amount of elastane gives them enough stretch to move with you. Komodo makes every pair here. The Sylvie legging is 95% GOTS organic cotton and 5% elastane, in black, grey and teal. GOTS certification follows the cotton through every stage of making, and covers both environmental and social standards. Organic cotton is grown without synthetic pesticides, and it softens a little more with each wash. Komodo has made clothing since 1988, and we checked its fabrics and factories before listing it.
Modal leggings
Komodo's SATO modal leggings are 95% Lenzing Modal and 5% spandex, in black, navy and green. Modal is made from beechwood pulp and has a smooth, fluid drape, so it feels slightly cooler and silkier than cotton. The SATO has a mid-rise elasticated waist that sits comfortably without digging in. Choose modal if you like a sleeker look, and organic cotton if you prefer a matte, everyday feel. Modal also holds dye well, so the darker colours stay rich after washing.
Lounge leggings and layering
Both styles work as lounge leggings at home, under dresses and tunics, or with a long jumper on cooler days. A black pair goes with almost everything, while teal or green adds colour to a plain outfit. The range is small, so it suits anyone who wants one or two good pairs rather than a drawer full. Every pair here is vegan. For yoga or a long walk, a mid-rise waist stays put better than a low one, and a darker colour hides marks from the mat.
Sizing and care
Check the size guide on each listing, because the two styles fit slightly differently. Wash leggings inside out at 30 degrees and dry them flat or on a line, which keeps the stretch and colour for longer. Avoid the tumble dryer and fabric softener, which wear out elastane. Women's Tops has organic cotton tops, Women's Knitwear has long jumpers, Bottoms has more styles, and Organic cotton clothing: The label is the last decision, not the first explains what to look for.
Common questions
What does GOTS certified mean?
GOTS is the Global Organic Textile Standard. It checks the organic fibre and how the garment is made, at every stage of production.
What is the difference between modal and cotton leggings?
Modal feels smoother and drapes more, while organic cotton feels softer and more matte. Both have a little stretch.
Can I exercise in these leggings?
They suit yoga, walking and gentle workouts. For high-intensity training, a dedicated sports fabric may suit you better.
How do I wash leggings?
Turn them inside out and wash at 30 degrees. Dry them on a line and skip fabric softener.
