First off, if you're designing leggings to go with the top, you'll want the same style of crossing used on the top on the leggings - that way it is a match. Now... to answer your questions. I'll number them so you know what I'm responding to.
1. Criss cross. The zigzag looks too constrictive. I assume you're going for fashionable but practical? Go with the criss-cross, or a crossing like the top...
2. The placement of the highest part of the cut-out is actually crucial. It can make all the difference in how well-received/the message potential buyers will have on the leggings. If the cut-outs are too high, it says "sexualize this," but if that's what your aim is, perhaps you ought to design lingerie where that sort of thing is expected; you can never be too careful these days.
3. Depends on the intended purpose: Cold weather exercise, jogging, etc - mesh covered; warm/hot weather exercise, yoga, etc - open. Personally, my favorite leggings you've posted are the mesh ones with the combat boots.
4. Mid-thigh, maybe an inch or two above that.
5. The fabric used to criss-cross needs some give. They shouldn't constrict the legs, which is what causes the dent impressions of the pattern on the legs when they are removed; comfort is key... if they're too tight, it can cut off circulation. Also the overall fabric, it needs to be breathable, like microfiber but not see-through in the crotch and buttocks area.
6. I prefer low-rise because it's more comfortable for me. However, I imagine -personal preference aside - depending on ones weight and body shape, the choice is then made apparent as to what waistline one must have.
7. Leggings, I find, are more comfortable. Perhaps, it would be a wise endeavor to make both leggings and capris, as the opinions on both will differ. It's 50/50 with most women, honestly.
8. I'm not real keen on the last legging picture, but only because that design is already in circulation - and can be purchased at WalMart.
Zig Zag. I prefer mesh (really i don’t wear leggings with cutouts), the issue i have with leggings i’ve worn is how much room there is for the upper thigh/largest part of hip/bum area. It can be uncomfortable in the upper thigh/crotch area which is a huge no. I always pick high waisted because it is more comfortable, i feel its more comfortable than to have a cut off at the hip.
i meant the area that’s parallel to the thigh openings in leggings can sometimes be really snug (uncomfortable) to the point where they cause those ripples from the crotch area to the upper though. a typical problem women with large thighs/hips run into. This same issue can result in odd camel toe going on. even if the leggings fit, they don’t fit quite right and it sucks. this is the issue that usually stops me from wearing leggings.
I like the 5th picture the best, If I wore those with a black crop top I have, they would be perfect together.
