LEGGINGS DESPERATION

Silver Fox1 — Wed, 18 Nov 2020 15:19:21 GMT

I have tried many leggings and they always seem to bag at the knees and they never seem to be tight around the ankles they always seem to stick out, which I hate. Can any of you suggest a really good legging, that won't do either of these two thing?

I've always had success with Susan Graver's leggings.

I can't speak for their leggings but I've never been disappointed with Jockey

My Yummie by Heather Thompson cotton shapewear leggings don:t bag at knees and do hug my ankles. They are 88% cotton 12% spandex. They don't appear shiny (IMO) and are a bit of a struggle to put on esp. at first. They are available still in 3 lengths. Rachel is the full length style. It's good to size up.

I love Logo leggings.

Spanx leggings are good quality but you surely need a longer top because they are sung but zero bagging and snug around the ankles but comfortable. Perfect for wearing boots. I size up one because I feel they run a little small. If you visit the Spanx website you will see many times they have sales so you can try a pair for a little less $.

I like Lysee leggings. Great basic, black, wide band that holds you in on top, no bagging in knees, tight ankle. I've worked for two different boutiques that carried them...our top selling legging. They wash and wear well also...made well, don't stretch out.

Hue is also another good brand we carried, more for a variety of fashion leggings....I have "jeggings" from them. I like them, but the ones I have don't have the wide band top which I prefer in leggings to flatten the tummy, give you a smooth look under tops.

Hope that helps.

Btw...I believe Amazon sells both, but other outlets online do as well.

@Silver Fox1 Could be you are wearing a size too big. I like Spanx but those do run sm all so you need to size up but they are well worth the money. For leggings to fit you usually have to tug a bit to get them on.

SPANX! The best!

I like the Yummie leggings also. Their waistband is the bomb and the knees never bag out. Go up a size unless you want the compression for support. Some people go up two sizes for comfort. I go up a size when I want to wear them around casually. But for exercising I like to stay with my normal size for the extra support they give me.

I just looked at HSN for Yummie leggings and it looks like everything Yummie is on clearance there. I wonder if they are or will be gone from HSN?

@Silver Fox1

seems to me the trick is to purchase the athletic style as opposed to the fashion leggings.

The first pair of leggings I purchased for the gym and home exercise, bagged at the knees. It turns out that once I shortened them, they seemed to be fine. The extra fabric caused "puddling".

I also agree with the post about wearing athetic leggings for the best fit, but not the shiny ones unless you're working out.

@LindaSal I'd think, for modesty, you need a longer top for any leggings.

I second @SilleeMee suggestion with "Yummie". I also really like Talbots "tech stretch leggings" and "textured leggings". I am short, so understand the gathering around the knees. The petite still have more length than I need, but once I get them in place, they hold their shape all day. I like the thickness of the material, too. Bonus, I *think* they are 40% off right now!

@Silver Fox1. I second the recommendation for Spanx. They're more expensive but you get what you pay for. There will be no bagging in Spanx.

@SilleeMee...I just went to the Yummie site...Which leggings are you referring to?...There are various ones to choose from and I'm looking at the "Ponte Shaping Legging" and the "Rachel Cotton Stretch Shaping Legging"....leaning towards the Rachel.

Thanks!
