One of our favorite patterns are rainbows. And finding the best rainbow leggings make us happy!
A rainbow is an arch of colors formed in the sky and is caused by the refraction and dispersion of the sun’s light by rain or other water droplets in the atmosphere. Rainbows also make appearances in mythology and symbolize powerful concepts such as creation, divinity, good luck, hope and duality.
The colors of the rainbow are also a symbol for the LGBTQ community. In 1978, Gilbert Baker designed a flag for the homosexual community in San Francisco. The original design displayed eight colors.
Baker assigned a meaning to each color: hot pink (sexuality), red (life), orange (healing), yellow (the sun), green (nature), turquoise (art), indigo (harmony), and violet (spirit). Rainbow flags and banners used in the LGBTQ community represent diversity, hope, and social action.
Another reference to the rainbow is found in Hindu and Buddhist Tantra. Apparently, those who have surpassed their earthly ties are in a position to achieve the highest meditative state and experience the “rainbow body” or the “body of light.” The rainbow body phenomenon is an ultimate oneness and ascension to our highest, and most god-like being. This typically happens at the time of death.
The Hawaii Ko Aloha Flag has nine colored stripes representing the islands that were inhabited before Western civilization arrived. Read more about the meaning of rainbows.
Regardless of the rainbow’s origins, there’s no doubt that spectrum of colors will elicit happiness wherever it goes. You can bring the rainbow with you anywhere by wearing them. Here are some highly recommended brands offering rainbow colored leggings for both lounging and exercising.
