Q. Are stretch pants the same as leggings?

Answer

Leggings and stretch pants are the same thing. Since leggings are typically associated with women's attire, men often substitute the word "stretch pants" for this style of clothing. The word "stretch trousers" is used to describe bottoms that are opaque, have a thicker fabric, are stretchy, and wick away sweat, and may be used for a variety of athletic activities, including but not limited to running, pilates, and the gym. In contrast, leggings are commonly worn under clothing for added warmth or coziness. At a fraction of the cost of name-brand alternatives, they are just as comfortable and convenient.
