Learn how the Roya Bootcut Legging fits and how to style it for a polished look. This guide covers sizing, fabric, and outfit ideas for plus size shoppers.
Quick answer
The Roya Bootcut Legging offers a comfortable, pilling-resistant fit with a high waist and bootcut flare—ideal for creating a balanced silhouette on plus size bodies.
Why the bootcut cut works for plus size shapes
A bootcut leg balances wider hips and thighs by adding subtle volume below the knee, creating a long, streamlined line. Unlike skinny leggings that can cling tightly, the bootcut flare skims the calf and opens at the hem, which can make your legs appear longer and more proportional.
This style also pairs well with sneakers, boots, or heels—the hem clears the shoe without bunching, so you get a clean transition from legging to footwear.
Fabric and pilling resistance
The Roya Bootcut Legging is made from a special Pima cotton blend developed to help prevent pilling—a common frustration with softer leggings. The fabric includes 44% Pima cotton and 44% Modal, with 12% Spandex for stretch and recovery.
This means you get the soft hand feel of cotton with added durability. If you have experienced pilling on other leggings after a few washes, this blend is designed to hold up better over time.
Care considerations
To maintain the fabric's anti-pilling properties and shape, turn the leggings inside out, machine wash cold, and lay flat to dry. Avoid fabric softeners and high heat, which can break down spandex fibers and reduce elasticity.
Following these steps helps the waistband stay snug and the bootcut hem keep its flare without sagging.
Decision rules for the Roya Bootcut Legging
- Size selection: Universal Standard uses inclusive sizing from 00 to 40. The Roya Bootcut Legging has a high waist with a thick, non-roll waistband. If you are between sizes, consider your hip measurement—the bootcut fit is forgiving through the thigh but should not be tight across the seat. Measure your hips and waist; compare to the size chart. If in doubt, size up for a relaxed fit.
- Fabric feel: The Pima cotton blend is soft and substantial—not sheer. The 12% Spandex provides four-way stretch with good recovery. Expect a compressive but not restrictive feel.
- Outfit pairing: Because the bootcut leg flares below the knee, it pairs best with fitted tops, tunics, or cropped sweaters that hit at the hip or above. Avoid long, boxy tops that hide the waist and flare, which can make the silhouette feel bottom-heavy. Try a fitted turtleneck or a cropped cardigan to highlight the high waist and bootcut shape.
