Most flattering gym / running leggings

[golightlytoday]

First of all I know it doesn't matter what I look like running.

Second I know comfort is more important.

But..

Have a race coming up where the photographer is amazing. Husband did it last year and they are stunning.

I'm a 14 with very sturdy thighs, short.

So can anyone recommend some leggings that will suddenly make my legs look longer and slimmer. Or actually as that's probably not possibly what are the most flattering? Cropped / 7/8 / full length. Have to be sports ones as I am running. Plain black? With stripes?

I have already ordered some shorts, love running I. Shorts but yet to find any that don't need pulling down every 3 mins. And if I wear to knee ones they look even worse!

Price (to a point) isn't an issue if they're perfect

I think plain black is the most flattering.

I’m the other way up from you - I have skinny legs and bum but a bit of a big tummy and boobs. I always wear a plain black//dark grey top but can get away with being a bit more colourful on my bottom half. Could you try that - plain black bottoms and a patterned/colourful top?

I get pretty hot and sweaty when running but have never had a sweat problem with the black Sweaty Betty leggings I have - I do wear the cropped ones with mesh right through winter though, and want shorts for warmer weather as regardless of sweat I think I’d overheat with too much of my legs covered in summer.

I live in black three stripe adidas climacool leggings at the gym. I can't find anything, from lululemon to Oysho that's half as flattering.

Thanks all - think I'll take a trip to London and do lululemon and sweaty Betty for a try on session.

Took a trip to London today and went to sweaty Betty and lululemon.

Lululemon leggings were all an odd fit on me.

Went to sweaty Betty and now proud owner of the power mesh leggings and they're amazing. So thank you for all the suggestions for these.
