Nobody seems to be buying Spanx leggings...

Most sizes and colors are still available. Doesn't look like a big seller. I'm not surprised....seems expensive and there are already so many options in the market and at Q for leggings!

Are you referring to those 'sausage' pants? LOL I see some gals with those tight tight leggings and wonder if they own a full length mirror. If it looks okay from the front to them - - I say..........turn around and do an inspection of the back side.

I purchased them last year when they were the TSV. They went back very quickly. Did not like the material or the seams. These leggings are not seamless. They're heavy and the sizing was off. With leggings they have to fit exact to look good and there is no wiggle room. They either look great or they look terrible, no inbetween. For me, they looked awful.

I patrol the stores in a scooter. Believe me, my vantage point to the backside of those things is eyepopping at times!

A peep show perhaps?

The breeze must be refreshing, as our winters always produce howling winds at times, which only adds to the new fashion styling of flip-flops and shorts in the dead of winter.

I am wondering how this makes one feel thin. They look like they are glued on. Today, when I was taking my walk I saw a woman that was wearing camo leggings that were not flattering. I think it made her look bigger than she was. IMO unless you are slender, these pants are not for you. Don't kid yourself and think it doesn't matter because people do notice when you are dressed inappropriately for your size. The models that are a xxs,s and medium look good. If you are larger, they are not flattering. You need to look in a mirror from all sides. I am a petite 4 and would never consider wearing them.

@Goldengate8361 How do you know they aren't selling as opposed to QVC just ordered a lot more this time since they sold out by noon last time? Amy Stran just said the black camo is almost sold out. I don't think your conclusion is necessarily a valid one. Didn't the espresso brown sell out, at least in a lot of sizes? I thought I heard a show host say that. Certainly if they sold out by noon last time, QVC would have ordered a lot more this time.

There are reviews on these leggings and they are not very good. I think if you are tall and thin the leggings may be for you if you don't mind the price. I don't have the legs for leggings, so no sale here.

Let's face it , if you are tall and thin most everything looks good on you, if you're not, you have to ask yourself are these really for me.?

I don't think the leggings look good at all on a lot of them. For the models that are a bit heavier, it makes their legs look like sausage links!

The way I see it....I'm doing everyone a favor by not prancing around outside in leggins.

All I have to do is look in the mirror. They all look terrible on me.

The only way I would wear these leggings is under a maxi dress / skirt in the wintertime for warmth or maybe underneath another pair of loose pants for extra warmth like a pair of long johns.

I have a girl friend that has embraced this style of pant.....she is petite in height and has an average body shape but I think leggings look 'not so good' on her. In fact we were standing at a counter in Macy's and I heard a woman make a comment on how she was dressed!!! I was surprised my frend did not hear her. The shirt she was wearing was not quite long enough to cover what needed to be covered. I would never say anything to her , it's not my business....

I would look like a chicken in them.......at 61...I am 'hippier' than I was in my younger days...not a good look for me

Petite slender Amy looks wonderful in them. As does a woman with nice, slender legs. Most people have figure flaws. That said we can always dress to conceal them. Leggings do nothing for a woman with heavy legs while a nice pair of trousers will make the same woman look really good. Why advertise figure flaws for the world to see? I guess that just makes no sense to me...

I wonder if the hosts can refuse to wear an item that isn't flattering to them? The two Janes (although sp is different) would have been wise to refuse. I have to agree, the larger models should definitely wear tunic tops or looong sweaters over these. Much too tight and revealing.

Model Jackie looked great in them (regular size large, size xl in the leggings). Her legs looked very thin, and she's a plus sized model.

I guess the word "thin" is subjective and in the eye of the beholder.

i thought i was the only person who hates leggings? finally I hear someone people agree with me?

Generally speaking, I think that as long as there is a longer top worn with leggings, they look fine. Long enough to cover the back-side, no matter what figure type. Just my thoughts, of course. I'm not crazy about advertising my back-side.

Sorry, but she was one of them that I didn't think they were flattering on at all.
