Lycra Cotton Fabrics

Product Details:

You're referring to a Cotton Lycra fabric, specifically:

Weight: 180 GSM (grams per square meter)

Tube Width: 34 inches (this means it's tubular knit, so when cut open, it would be 68 inches in total width)

Composition: Usually Cotton with 5–10% Lycra/Spandex for stretch

Suitability for Leggings:

YES, 180 GSM Cotton Lycra is commonly used for leggings, but there are a few considerations:

Pros (Why it's Suitable):

Stretch & Comfort: Lycra provides excellent stretch and recovery, making it great for tight-fitting garments like leggings.

Breathability: Cotton allows air flow, making leggings more comfortable, especially for everyday wear.

Soft Touch: Cotton Lycra is soft and skin-friendly.

Good for Casual or Lounge Wear Leggings

Considerations:

Moderate Opacity: 180 GSM is on the lighter side; it may be a bit see-through when stretched, depending on color (darker colors are usually safer).

Not Ideal for High-Performance Activewear: If you're aiming for gym or yoga leggings, a higher GSM (like 220–280) or poly-spandex blend would perform better (more compression and opacity).

Final Verdict:

Great for casual, lounge, or basic fashion leggings

Consider double-checking stretch recovery and opacity if using for fitted or activewear leggings
