leggins

Fitted leg coverings

Leggins is a less common spelling of leggings—close-fitting garments covering the legs from waist or hip to ankle.

Modern leggings are stretchy, worn as casual pants or athletic wear: She threw on some leggins for yoga class.

The spelling with one g appears occasionally but is generally considered nonstandard.
