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 have a good esperience with Women with Control.  No bagging for me, snaps right back.  Spanx will work for sure, but more expensive, make sure to order up.  Spanx feel heavy and tight.

Just don't wear leggings. They look really bad on most people and we need to get them out of the fashion world. ASAP

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?


 

 

@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!


 

 

Yes, the Rachel cotton leggings are the ones I have@MyShadowLove

 

 

 

@SilleeMee ...I just had to come back and let  you and everyone know that I received my Yummie leggings (Rachel cotton) yesterday and I love them...great quality and fit!...I'm headed back for a few more pairs.

 

Thanks again!

I got the Legacy Ponte leggings and realy like them.  Only saw them on the Q once, but don't watch that often.

 

These leggings aren't clingy, nor do they bag at the knees.  They're around $40 with shipping, I think.

Yummie and Zella.  Never, ever bag.

Just wondering...are you sizing up with your leggings? If yes, that might be the reason they sag at the knees and ankles. Unless they are the really tight knit fabric, I buy my normal size. I like Hue corduroy leggings on HSN, the Sam's brand, Jockey, and Cuddl Duds fleece leggings for at home and running errands. None of them bag on me when I buy my normal size, except for Sam's - I size up on that brand. I've also had a pair of SG and they were nice leggings as well when the price was lower.

I used to LOVE the Hanes basic black, cotton blend ankle-length ones W-M carried years'-ago for $12. I'm down to the last pair I'd hoarded (lol) from 2017 when it seemed they discontinued them. These put the $30-$50 designer types to shame; in how: the flat waist stayed in place (with an actually realistic rise length for somebody, in my case, 5'7" and a sz10) and, the way with normal (but delicate) washing they held their stretch as well as "opaque-ness" a verryy long time. The kind I tend to favor now are by Avia (because of their value --- I don't believe *ever* paying more than $25 for leggings....anyplace); except: while the Avias retain their fit and coverage, (unfortunately) they all have some kind of insert mesh/colorblock pattern beholden to a "gym look" you can't dress-up for a real world outfit.
