Leggings

I need some new leggings, ideally some I can use for running and walking. I don't like walking trousers but need something comfy for long walks.

I also run (sometimes)

So sturdy and full length and importantly that stay up!

I keep reading Sweaty Betty are the best. Are they? Are they true to size?

What about Fabletics?

Sweaty Betty are best for plain leggings. If you want bright pattern leggings, take a look at Lucy Locket Loves (although she is bringing out plain soon). The fit of lockets is amazing! The fabletics I have are really see through.

My favourite running tights for staying up are Under Armour. Don’t buy them from Sports Direct though. The pair I got from there don’t resemble my other ones at all!

Tikiboo for sure. Lived in them over lockdown. I can't get enough now! They stay up for sure, and have subtle adjustable elastic in the waist.

Sweaty Betty are not cheap, but worth their value in my view (I do buy in the sale or with discount codes though). Bought leggings for running and have found myself wearing them a lot generally.

I like my Under Armour ones and Nike ones.

I'm thinking plain, maybe black or navy blue

Strange

I think I would end up wearing them at home if I got some nice ones but they are expensive so I can't justify buying more than one or two pairs

Haven't tried Nike or Tikiboo

Maybe doesn't help I feel between sizes. Are they more likely to come down if too big or too small?

I like loveleggings. Their customer service is good if need to change styles.

I like Gap running tights. They're not cheap but Gap seems to have 40% off codes every other week these days.

Loveleggings- brilliant in both cropped and long lengths. Fabric sturdy, so doesn’t wear out between thighs. Stay up well, so not having to pull them up all the time.
