Where are the best ones??

I ordered the ASOS ones recommended on here but they were a little saggy
Ordered wine from next which were hideous

Anyone bought any nice well fitting ones?

New Look. True to size and dont sag or fall down..love mine!

MozzchopsThirty · 02/11/2019 10:15

So I loved the top shop ones but there were none in my size in any of our 3 stores!
(Who the fuck is a size 4??? What even is that?)
They were all out of stock online but back on this morning so I've ordered

The new look ones were probably second but very cheap looking

There were lots of coated ones around but ds (10) put me off with his constant 'urgh they feel sticky' or no too thick' 🤣

I've just got a pair from matalan and they are fantastic and only £14

EatenByDinosaurs · 02/11/2019 11:24

@pigletpie2177 they look fantastic on you! Smile

I second piglet's Spanx recommendation, I have several pairs of them now, so comfy that I wear them for long haul flights and they look great on. I wear mine like this usually...

I do wear them with boots in the cooler weather instead though.

Elllllle · 02/11/2019 12:00

They look great if you have great legs...

pigletpie2177 · 02/11/2019 18:08

Ahh thank you @EatenByDinosaurs - it's not a look I've braved before so that's lovely to hear. I think I will get a slouchy jumper and wear with flat ankle boots but I love that they can be dressed up or down. Have you tried other Spanx leggings? Been eyeing the blue velvet ones but wondering whether I would ever have reason to wear them ☺️

Ellapaella · 02/11/2019 18:49

These are mine. Mint Velvet, about £25 I think. They fit well, don't fall down at the waist or sag at the knees. I wear mine with trainers as in my pic here or with flats like the photo posted below. Also wear with heels and a long blouse for a night out. However I wear them I make sure my bum is covered as I'm not keen on the look of my bum in any leggings!

GreyBird84 · 02/11/2019 23:26

Oh I like your trainers too @Ellapaella 😊

@Ellapaella you are a bad influence 😂

Worth it @pigletpie2177 (but sorry 😉)

RiskIt4Biscuit · 03/11/2019 15:47

I quite like the mint velvet leggings, but they are quite thin - and they are very comfortable. To me, they just feel like thick tights. I’m no leggings expert, so this may be normal.

I prefer the ones from Wolford, which are quite thick and warm - like neoprene. But they are quite expensive and have a decorative seam over the knee which may not be to everyone’s taste.

Miseryisabutterfly · 03/11/2019 16:21

Two of my friends have these and look gorgeous in them, so I’m going to give them a go! I like the khaki for a change

I have gone for real leather rather than faux.

They look fab!

pigletpie2177 · 04/11/2019 18:01

Oh I'm not sure about the Mint Velvet ones 🙈 they arrived today and made me very grateful for the support of the Spanx!! Might be ok with some scaffolding knickers though I think there would be definite vpl!

RainWoman19 · 04/11/2019 18:35

The New Look ones are very similar to the H&M ones.

DontLettuceBrexitLettuceRomain · 04/11/2019 18:44

They look great if you have great legs...

Agree, otherwise I think they always look a bit cheap and trashy.

Karcheer · 04/11/2019 19:02

I've ordered the MV ones today.
Which Spanx ones do you get?

pigletpie2177 · 04/11/2019 19:08

It's these ones @Karcheer www.selfridges.com/GB/en/cat/spanx-high-rise-faux-leather-leggings_121-3004166-2437/ using selfridges link just as they have good pics but you can find them elsewhere and in different colours...

MozzchopsThirty · 04/11/2019 20:59

Jesus look at the price 😱

Mine are from M&S, pleather front Ponte back. Gorgeous.

Karcheer · 04/11/2019 21:20

Thanks @pigletpie2177 I’ll see what the mv ones are like tmr and if they aren’t supportive enough I’ll try the Spanx ones.

notasgreenasiamcabbagelooking · 04/11/2019 22:12

The Italian brand Calzedonia have some Spanx copies that are fab. They do loads of different colours and some are thermal too. I had bought the Spanx and spotted these so returned the former. I can't vouch for how well they'll wash but so far I've not noticed any difference to the spanx, in fact I prefer these. I'll try and link but it might not work as I'm in Spain. es.calzedonia.com/product/leggings-total-shaper-efecto-piel/173713.uts?productVariantId=343521&utm_source=criteo&utm_medium=retargeting&utm_campaign=perf_calzedonia_es
