Running leggings

[MandyFl0ss]

Hello. Could anyone recommend support running/yoga leggings that won't make my 'petite' (i.e. short) heavy thighs look even more erm, rotund!? Also, a long vest (i.e. bottom covering) to go with it, although I would prefer something with sleeves. I was taking a look at the Sweatty Betty website and I am ready to invest ridiculous money for a good quality pair of leggings that make me feel comfortable exercising in public, but oh my £90????

I recently bought two pairs off ebay and they are the best quality leggings I have ever had. So much so I'm going to buy some more.

I bought a (not particularly cheap) pair in a local sports shop the other day because I liked the pattern, but was very disappointed when I got them home, as a there is just no comparison in the feel or look, to the ones I got on ebay.

They are both tight and light - so they hold you in but also don't make you sweat. They make my legs look really good if I do say so myself. The make is 'Rise Above Fear' and I paid £19.99 a pair.

Here's a link ...

(don't know if I should say this but I paid less on Ebay, than they are priced on that website)

Not yet convinced.

I have found these:

As one is twice the price of the other, I was wondering does anybody have any thoughts on compression tights?

I've bought several pairs of Ronhill ones from TK Maxx, less than £20 each and superb quality and fit. Our local branches often stock a lot of running / workout gear.

I love h&m running gear and can't imagine Sweaty Betty is more than twice the quality...

I've got some really nice ones from Decathlon. They were about £20.

Have got pockets big enough to hold my iPhone 6 as well.

I like New Balance perfect fit vests - I got mine from Very.

I've tried various ones and the Lidl ones are comfiest, and their tops are long but not flappy. But you do have to wait for them to be on the aisle of ransom stuff.

[MandyFl0ss]

But which ones suck you up so your legs look less thundery and still allow you freedom of movement?

[MirrorMirrorOnTheFloor]

On the legs, I assume that black is most slimming and as long as I have a longish top and keep moving, no one will notice...
