Which Sweaty Betty leggings?

I’ve hit my weight goal through a ton of Les Mills on demand and eating healthily so rather than treat myself with food, I decided ages ago I’d buy myself some posh leggings. Problem is the choice is overwhelming! I’m quite tall and want full length if that makes any difference.

What do you have and do you recommend them?

I like The Power leggings best.

PurpleDaisies · 10/12/2020 09:59

That’s handy because I’ve just spotted they’re 20% off today. Thanks @Blondiney.

What’s the sizing like?

Glad you asked this purple! Are they the kind of leggings you can wear in the day without looking like they're exercise leggings?

DialsMavis · 10/12/2020 10:16

I've got power and they are the only ones that stay up when I'm jogging with phone in pocket... They do look like work out leggings though

Blondiney · 10/12/2020 10:17

I'm a 10 and wear Small if that helps.

PurpleDaisies · 10/12/2020 10:20

I’m happy with looking like work out leggings, that’s what I’ll mainly be wearing them for. My current favourite under armour leggings don’t have a pocket which was an error when I bought them. Great for yoga but rubbish for running.

Now to choose a colour...

Yes, that’s definitely useful @Blondiney. Thanks.

Power! Squat proof. Good for hiit and netball etc. Only brand I’m loyal to.

pearlypidge · 10/12/2020 10:36

Another vote for the power leggings here Smile

PurpleDaisies · 10/12/2020 11:22

I wasn’t expecting such a unanimous response!

Thanks so much everyone.

I want the silver sparkly ones...I might treat myself to a pair.

Northernlass99 · 10/12/2020 14:37

Yep power leggings. And they have a phone pocket!

JingsMahBucket · 10/12/2020 14:39

Finding women’s leggings with pockets is a holy grail for me. Thanks for asking this OP.

LordEmsworth · 10/12/2020 14:43

I bought Power leggings in the sale earlier this year, and will not be buying any other leggings again... love them

MooMinCow · 10/12/2020 15:33

Power leggings all the way! Squat proof, don’t fall down, big phone pocket and feel like Spanx as they hold all your wobbly bits firm (but way more comfy!)

I get mine from Ebay or their outlet shop in Bicester.

I've just taken delivery of some more SB leggings today. I love the high shine ones for casual wear or days when I'm doing weights/ no cardio so ordered a second pair; the berry colour; which is gorgeous.

A word of warning on the power, i had the power mesh leggings and the back of the knee bagged after a while; so sent them back. I ordered a pair of the super sculpt yoga leggings and they seem great; great compression and look beautiful on. For reference I'm an 8/10 (brand dependent) and 5'8" and the full length in small is a good fit.

Power leggings. They are fabulous - got them at 30% off last month. Beetle blue 7/8's. Wonderful.

Annebronte · 10/12/2020 19:00

Power! Good level compression; phone pocket; zipped key pocket in back; long enough (I’m 5’ 7); stay up well. Size S fits 8-10.

Annebronte · 10/12/2020 19:02

I also have super sculpt yoga. They have a higher waist but are a tighter fit and I find don’t stay up round the waist quite so well. No key pocket either. They do look nice though.

BreakfastOfWaffles · 10/12/2020 19:06

There is a leggings selector tool on their website where you answer questions about what you will use them for and it recommends the best one for you. I have powers as well, and the tip about using 7/8 as full length if you are under 5ft 5 is definitely true.

TheDaydreamBelievers · 10/12/2020 22:52

Power leggings! I also have zero gravity for runs but power leggings are nicer for gym work

ArtieFufkinPolymerRecords · 11/12/2020 00:31

I love the power leggings, but they are no good for running, because they slip down.

Fozzleyplum · 11/12/2020 06:49

I wear the zero gravity leggings for running. They are long (I am tall) and the back pocket takes my mobile. They are extremely comfortable and never slip down. I have a couple of different designs in beetle blue, with matching tops and a hoody.

Ponks · 11/12/2020 07:40

I love the power leggings, I wear them for running and find they don't move.
