The impression of the subjects dressed in leggings under skirts was investigated to search the best length of leggings for different physical types. This study contained two methods. One was the questionnaire of leggings to 249 female students and another was the sensory effective evaluation to 49 female students in autumn 2008. The subjects who participated in the wearing test were five different physical types. The knee-length skirt and the miniskirt were used for each subject. The length grades of leggings were five for knee-length skirt and four for miniskirt. Nine photographs of each subjecst 'back were taken for the evaluation. Forty nine students selected the most suitable length of leggings which was the best balanced, which appeared to have slim lower body or long legs. Main results were as follows;1)Female students were dressed in leggings frequently in spring or autumn. The aim to put on leggings was to be wearing short pants or miniskirts, for cold weather, and to slenderize their legs.2)The factor analysis made it clear that the effects of being wearing leggings were good balanced between skirt and leggings and making their legs look long.3)The difference of suitable length for each physical type was significant statistically in every item.4)Generally speaking, the shorter-length leggings kept better balance in the shorter-length skirt and the longest-length leggings made their legs look long.5)It was important for female students to consider own physical type and make reference to general suitable length and select own leggings with self-confidence.
