Adidas leggings - do I get 12-14 or 16-18 for a 14-16 bum?

Ohhhh I hate it when shops do this but I've found a pair of leggings that I love the look of. Problem is my bum is a firm (ha!) 14-16 so should I get the 12-14 or 16-18? Am a pear shaped with thunder thighs and bubble bum. Smile

I got some Adidas leggings recently for the gun and I got 8-10 and I’m more of a 10-12 and they fit fine

Gym not gun !!

Get the bigger pair. You'll be able to pull them up properly, they'll be comfortable and less likely to slide down when exercising.

I find Adidas sizing pretty generous so probably the smaller pair; as long as you avoid the see - through when you squat look!!!!

16-18. You need max freedom of movement in gym stuff.

I am worried that they will slide down if I get the bigger size..?

Save your money and go to Asda, Tesco, or Sainsburys.

Five years ago I would have said get the bigger size as adidas are more a 'continental' fit, but I've bought several adidas garments this year and they've all been disappointing.

the standard cotton leggings have got shorter; by about two inches, the colours bleed onto the trim after a wash or two, the tracksuit leg lengths seem to have become shorter, the materials seem to be of a lesser quality, etc.

The supermarkets are good for sportwear right now: everyone's doing a range, garments are functional, usually wash well, and prices are good.
