Sweaty Betty Power leggings - which size?

20 replies

curlytops21 · 04/02/2021 10:53

Hi all

Can anyone who has these leggings advise on sizing please? I'm 5' 7" and size 14. I assumed I'd be large but I've seen some comments from people sized 16/18 that a medium was perfect on them.

I don't want them to be falling down, but nor do i want to be packed into them with the top rolling down.

Can anyone else advise? Nb i probably won't use them for running and will instead keep them for yoga and casual wear, if that makes any difference.

Thanks!

They’re reasonably generous so you might get away with a medium.

I've just bought 2 pairs of the all day leggings in medium and I'm a 12. They do seem to be quite roomy around the waist although on my legs and bum fit nicely. I think you could get away with medium being a 14 as long as they pass the squat/bending over test!

curlytops21 · 04/02/2021 11:51

Thank you both. I think the all day leggings run a bit smaller than the power leggings from what I've read, so maybe a medium will be ok after all....

I’m size 12 and wear medium. Best leggings going.

Power leggings - size down
Not sure on the others

I’m a 12 and wear medium but I have to pull the waist cord in when running. They are stretchy. Suppose it depends on how tight you want them to be

I'm a 10/12 but find medium too baggy they drop, wish I'd bought small.

I'm 5'9 and fluctuate between size 10 and 12 and wear a Consistent M in all Sweaty Betty. If I was shorter I might be a S but as with tights it's my height which shoves me into bigger sizes!

I wear a L but the L zero gravity ones are a bit tight. Lululemon I buy a US 12.

curlytops21 · 04/02/2021 13:08

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I'll go with the M and see how it goes!

I'm a 14 and wear L.

I'm a size 12 and 5'3" - the shop advised me to go for a small which fit perfectly

Picassosdove · 04/02/2021 13:27

I am a small 14 and I wear M in sweaty betty but size 14 in Next leggings.

Aelfrid · 04/02/2021 13:34

I'm the same size as you and wear an L but the Powers do feel a bit roomier than the Zero Gravity. I prefer the patterns in the Zero Gravities but they can be alarmingly see-through...

pumpkinpig · 04/02/2021 13:46

I'm a pear shaped 14 and wear the M in the Power legging and find them perfect. There is so stretching over the backside so I can't wear a light coloured pair of underwear underneath if I'm wanting to do a lot of bending.

DialsMavis · 04/02/2021 13:55

Deffo a M, I was a 14 when I got them and am a 12 now and they still fit perfectly, I just use the draw string now

Blondiney · 04/02/2021 14:51

Medium.

curlytops21 · 04/02/2021 14:58

Phew - thanks everyone! Looking forward to receiving them.

I am 14 and wear L in the powers

AnnieSnap · 08/01/2022 23:59

I’m 5’6” and a size 16 (sometimes a 14 in trousers). I’m a L in SB Power leggings. If I went smaller, I’d have a muffin top.
