Seamless Activewear Explained: What Does Seamless Mean?

The word “seamless” appears on leggings, shorts, sports bras and workout sets. It literally means without seams, but in clothing it does not always mean a garment has no seams at all. It usually describes a construction method with fewer or differently positioned seams.

What does seamless mean in activewear?

Seamless garments often reduce traditional side seams over larger areas. Seams can still be present, so the term should not be read as a guarantee of a completely seam-free garment.

Why is seamless used?

The construction supports different fitted and elastic designs. How a garment feels still depends on material, knit structure, size and cut.

Seamless shorts

Seamless construction can be combined with high-waisted cuts in workout shorts. Our seamless yoga shorts are listed as a high-waisted style.

Seamless sports bras

Check strap design, size range and padding separately. Our seamless double-strap sports bra has a fixed double-strap design.

Seamless workout sets

Browse women's workout sets for coordinated options.

What should you check?

• Do not interpret seamless as no seams anywhere.
• Check exact materials.
