The perfect legging, tell me where yours are from

I need to find an alternative to my Sweaty Betty 'power' legging due to their price tag and I also think the quality has changed and they are not as good as they used to be. These are the reasons I loved them, can any of you tell me of any that tick the boxes;


  • 7/8 length, I'm 5ft 4 and all other long leg leggings are too long
  • High wasted
  • Thick material that smoothes and holds everything in and minimises bunching in the crotch area Blush.
  • retains tightness and does not sag/get baggy anywhere.
  • excellent when working out but in plain black smart enough to wear casually to.



Recommendation please!

I was with you all the way to the last point, which is where my recommendation for www.sturdybydesign.com fails! Grin

Thank you anyway, I'm happy to try anything although they are probably a bit bright for 'smart casual' Grin.

I have some from Mountain Warehouse. I think they're running leggings, but would work for anything I would think.

Bamboo Clothing High Waist 7/8 length Enduro Legging.

I’m 5’4” too and they’re the perfect length on me. Really hold you in and last ages.

I've heard good things about girlfriend.com but not cheap

I was going to come on and suggest Sweaty Betty power leggings! Sorry.

Have you tried their new range? Super Sculpt? sounds promising if you want tightness.

As Volvemos said.
The Bam 7/8 high waist. The most flattering leggings in the world. Never sag.

I have a few pairs from Fabletics which I really like. They stay put through my powerlifting sessions and are thick and not see through
