Description

Plus Size Leggings That Actually Fit Real, Curvy and Plus-Size Bodies

If you’ve ever pulled on a pair of leggings only to have them roll down at the waist, dig in at the hips or go see-through the moment you bend over — you’ll understand why we made these. Our Hayley Joy Leggings are cut specifically for real, curvy and plus-size shapes, with a generous fit through the hip and thigh and a wide elasticated waistband that stays exactly where you put it.
They’re soft enough to wear all day, opaque enough to wear with a shorter top, and stretchy enough to move with you whether you’re running errands, working from home, or heading out for the evening.

How They Fit

Our leggings run generously compared to high-street sizing. If you’re between sizes, most of our customers find their usual size fits perfectly — but please refer to the size guide below before ordering, especially if it’s your first Hayley Joy purchase.

  • Rise: High-waisted, sits comfortably above the natural waist

Waistband: Wide elasticated band — no roll-down, no digging in

  • Length: Full length to the ankle
  • Cut: Generously cut through the hip and thigh for real, curvy and plus-size shapes
  • Stretch: Four-way stretch so they move with you

See How They Look On Your Body Shape

Because every body is different, we photograph our leggings on three different size models so you can see how they will look on you:

  • Size Large model — sizes S to L fit similarly
  • Size 3XL model — sizes XL to 3XL fit similarly. This is our most popular size range
  • Size 5XL model — sizes 4XL to 7XL fit similarly

When you choose your size, the photo on the page will update to match the model closest to your size.

Fabric and Feel

Our leggings are made from a 95% Polyester, 5% Spandex blend. We chose this fabric specifically because it holds its shape wash after wash, doesn’t pill, stays fully opaque even when stretched, and dries quickly without needing to be ironed. The hand-feel is smooth and soft, with a comfortable amount of four-way stretch.

Available Colours

Our leggings come in three permanent core colours — Black, Navy and Brown — plus rotating fashion colours each season. The core colours are always in stock; fashion colours are limited editions, so if you spot one you love, don’t wait.

How to Wear Them

These leggings are designed to work with our full Hayley Joy range. Try them with:

  • One of our Hayley Joy Tops for a flattering, easy-to-wear daily outfit [link to Tops category]
  • A Hayley Joy Miracle Slouch Cowl Shape Top under a long cardigan for cooler days [link to Cowl Tops]
  • A long flowing top and ankle boots for a smarter evening look
  • On their own with a longer T-shirt or hayley Joy Hoodie for relaxed days at home

Care Instructions

Wash inside-out on a gentle cold cycle (30°C or lower) and hang to dry. Please don’t tumble dry, iron or bleach. Full details are in the Fabric & Care tab.

Designed and Made in South Africa

Every pair of Hayley Joy Leggings is designed and manufactured locally in Johannesburg, South Africa. We employ local seamstresses, use local fabric where possible, and stand behind every garment we send out. If something isn’t right, we’ll make it right — just give us a call.

Size Guide

Our leggings are cut generously. Measure yourself and compare to the chart below. If you’re between two sizes, go with the larger size for extra comfort. Still not sure? Phone or WhatsApp us on +27 (0)72 784 4587 — we help customers choose sizes every day.

How to Measure Yourself

Stand relaxed, in your underwear, with a soft measuring tape. Don’t pull tight — let the tape sit comfortably against your body.

  • Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your waist, usually just above your belly button.
  • Hips: Measure around the widest part of your hips and bottom, with your feet together.

If you don’t have a measuring tape, a piece of string and a ruler works just as well — wrap the string around, mark where it meets, then measure the string against the ruler.
Still not sure? Phone or WhatsApp us on **+27 (0)72 784 4587** and we’ll help you choose the right size. We do this every day — we don’t mind at all.

FAQ's
What size legging should I order if I’m an SA size 44?

A size 44 dress size fits comfortably into our 3XL legging. If you carry more weight on your hips than your waist, you may prefer to size up to 4XL for extra comfort. Our leggings are cut generously, so most customers find their usual dress size translates directly. If you’re unsure, phone us on +27 (0)72 784 4587 and we’ll help.

Are these leggings opaque? Can you see through them?

Yes, our leggings are fully opaque. The 95% Polyester, 5% Spandex blend holds its colour and coverage even when stretched, so you can wear them with a shorter top without worrying. We’ve tested them in bright sunlight and against light backgrounds.

Will the waistband roll down during the day?

No. We use a wide elasticated waistband specifically designed to stay in place. This was one of the most common complaints we heard about other leggings, so we built ours to solve exactly that problem.

Can I wear these as pants, or only under a tunic?

Both. The fabric is opaque enough and the cut is flattering enough to wear as pants with a longer top. Many of our customers wear them with our Miracle Tunics or Shape Tops as a complete outfit.

Do these leggings shrink in the wash?

No, provided you wash them gently in cold water and hang them to dry. We do not recommend tumble drying or hot washing, as polyester-spandex blends can lose their stretch with high heat.

Do you deliver across South Africa?

Yes, we deliver nationwide using a trusted courier. Delivery within South Africa typically takes 3 to 5 working days, and additional charges may apply for outlying areas. If an item is not in stock, please allow up to 14 working days for production in addition to delivery time. Full details, including delivery costs and our PUDO locker option, are in our Delivery & Returns tab.

What if the size doesn’t fit when it arrives?

We offer easy exchanges. If the size isn’t right, simply contact us within 7 days of receiving your order and we’ll arrange an exchange for a different size, subject to availability. The leggings must be unworn with tags attached.

Are Hayley Joy Leggings made in South Africa?

Yes. Every pair is designed and manufactured locally in Johannesburg, South Africa. We employ local seamstresses and support local industry.

Why do larger sizes cost more?

Larger sizes use significantly more fabric — sometimes nearly double for a 7XL compared to a Small — and take longer to cut and sew. We’ve kept the price difference as small as possible while still being fair to our seamstresses and our business.

Can I order over the phone if I struggle with the website?

Absolutely. Phone or WhatsApp us on +27 (0)72 784 4587 and we’ll take your order over the phone. Many of our customers prefer this and we’re happy to help.
