I work out with leggings and no matter how I stretch them upwards, downwards or to the sides, I always have creases right below both knees.
I’d like an even look leg wide.
Ankles and above the knee are fine though.
My leggins are mid rise. Does this also happen with high rise leggings?
Some leggings cover the feet, does creasing below the knee also happen with these leggings?
I read this as “legs creasing below the knees”
That’s a separate issue that’s usually solved by having bones.
Just wear cutoff jeans to workout instead.

I think that unless you get some with a strap that goes under your foot that’s attached to the bottom of the leggings or modify it to have some, that you will always have that crease because you’re moving around.
Here’s an example oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=544598002&v…
I would imagine this is twofold: fit and material.
What materials and percentages are they?
Disclaimer: I do not wear leggings, but I do wear base layers biking and backpacking, and sew, so I have some limited knowledge here.
leggings are mostly 77% polyester and 23% spandex but there’s a mesh segment behind the knees, mesh is 93% polyester and 7% spandex.
I don’t know if you’re suggesting I cut the legging and make it thinner right below the knees, but this is a structurally very complicated area, as it combines mesh and regular fabric.
Have you ever sewn workout synthetic fabrics? Are you happy with the result?
Wait.
Like the front?
I have exactly 1 pair of “leggings” and now like 3 pairs of estimated long johns. The former is for exercise, the latter is for warmth but both are equally excellent for general movement.
If you want less crease I’m imagining… possibly stiffer material.

Drop a tungsten rod from space and have it land on your leggings.

No more leggings!
