Leather look leggings - which are best?

I know there have been previous posts on these but I couldn’t find one within the last year (apologies if there is I am relatively new) so thought I’d start this as I’m looking for a pair which are available now.

Moving into autumn and I want to invest in a decent pair of leather look leggings, I’ve had cheap pairs before but they go baggy so quickly and wear, and I am willing to spend more on a pair that fit right and will last, so wonder if anyone has any suggestions.

The biggest thing is I hate it when they go baggy around the knees. Are the Spanx ones any good and/or has anyone tried any others that are good?

I have relatively slim legs compared to my waist which is maybe 10-12 (legs maybe more like 8-10). I’m 5’5 and usually wear a 30 inch leg in skinny jeans etc.

All suggestions welcome, thanks in advance!

I like the spanx ones, I'm a size 10/12 5ft5 and 29" inside leg and wear the size M petite. The commando ones are supposed to be good and on my to buy list.

I have the Spanx ones and they are good quality and work well for my skinny legs.

I liked the love leggings ones. Think they are called something else now .

Thanks all. Think I’m torn between Spanx and commando, may order both and try them

What did you go for in the end? I'm looking to find a Spanx alternative will look up commando.

I actually went for Spanx but they’re called trousers rather than leggings, I must’ve tried on 14 variations in the end (different sizes, short regular etc and various brands!) these were my favourite, only thing is I can only find them in a regular length so I have these in a small, if I could find them slightly shorter I think they’d be better for me, but I do like them!

So it’s these, while they look like a trouser with pockets they go on like leggings and just seem to fit me really well: https://www.johnlewis.com/spanx-leather-like-ankle-skinny-trousers-noir-black/p109902015
