Spanx faux leather leggings

Do you have some? How do you style them?

I had some delivered today after having a tab open for a month or so. I am not 100% sure if I will keep them. I’m 5ft 6 and a 10/22, but carry my weight on my bum/thighs so they are maybe not very flattering on me? I imagine wearing them with knits, and DMs or trainers - I am not a heels person.

Oh. I am a 10/12. Pear-shaped but not quite that pear-shaped.

They're very clingy. I sent mine back as they were tight so you could see the outline of my knees and thigh muscles. They didn't make me long and lithe, more muscle fit.

I have navy ones from M and S. Same size. I wear with boots and chunky jumpers or shirts and tunic.

I have them and like them. They hold you in a bit but aren't uncomfortable (and they don't squeak like some faux leather!). I mainly wear them with a long knit/shirt, or a long tee with a long cardigan (what I call a coatigan rather than a traditional cardigan - with some draping/structure).

I tend to wear with quite clompy flat boots (e.g. Ganni/BV type boots) high heeled boots..... but they need to be quite wide at the top. Narrow tops of boots can look weird on me. I think the wider boot balances out the skinniness of the leggings but might just be me.

I live in my Spanx faux leather Leggings and I love them. I'm a size 10 and I wear them daily. They look great dressed down with a hoodie and trainers or with a nicer top and boots. I've had mine over a year now and still going strong.

Thanks for the replies. I am going to return them after another try on today. I only wear “skinny” bottoms for exercising and I just feel a bit weird in them, especially as my tops are all shorter/boxy for wearing with eg mom jeans. I am glad I scratched the itch though!

They are very tight fitting. Have a look at the Mia slim trousers in M&S.
