Hey Girls! We have a huge post today and Its all about the legging! I personally think we have been in legging season for a while– but typically we call that fall and winter LOL– Lots of requests for my Favorites for different occasions so I thought I would stop and put them all together for you!
This post is really to share what I wear the most, why and the details of each pair so if you are in the market for another pair this might help you too! Check out Instagram Stories for the full try on but I will do my best to include a full description here as well as a DUPE (if they are $$) the best I possibly can! These are listed out in no particular order, tried to be as unbiased as possible and just deliver facts on this one — there are a total of 7 pair with individual descriptions! 😉
Hope this post is helpful for you and if you find that someone you know might like it too, please feel free to share it! 😉
First pair of legging is the Wunder Under High Rise Full on Luon Legging, High waisted, 7/8 and a medium compression all the way through the legging. I wear this MOST often from boots and sweater to Athleisure OOTD these are made for movement, do not budge, excellent quality (these are 3 years old-ish and look brand new). They do attract pet hair at times and run about $98.
Dupe Option is here, runs TTS and under $45 🙂
Sizing: I wear an 8 this is my normal leggings size at Lululemon I wear a size 10/12 denim
Here are the Spanx “Look at me Now” Seamless legging– 7/8 length and high waisted. EXCELLENT shapewear, stays put, super black great for athleisure to sweaters and boots. This is a slightly thicker material, so if its above 70- I personally would not wear. This is a more affordable SPANX at around $68, if you want to see what all the fuss is about on the brand, this might be a good one to pick!
Similar seamless dupe options are linked here and here
Size: XL Sized up one from my typical Size Large.
Here are the SPANX Faux leather legging great again for all the looks from sweaters and boots to athleisure. SPANX is really about the shapewear they really do keep you lifted, supported and feeling confident all day. These are super black, full length and high waisted. Around $98. Goes on sale a couple times a year, Black Friday and the Nordstrom Sale. FYI if you have an need styling ideas, I have a post here.
Dupe Options: Nothing I know of is going to give you the same shapewear feeling but if you are going for the look: A great a dupe is here.
Sizing: I buy a Large and XL– Depends on the day but feel most comfortable in the XL which is one size up from my normal size large.
This the Aerie Offline Real Me Legging– High waisted 7/8 length I wear for athleisure and lounge outfits. Cotton style material, not made for tons of movement, no shaping technology but comfortable to wear in the evenings. If you are looking for a good basic legging I wear these a lot for lounge because they aren’t compressive. Super black and run under $50!
Size: I wear my typical Size Large
The Ever popular Lululemon Align Legging everyone loves these because they are buttery soft, truly unmatched! High waisted, 7/8 length- comes in a ton of colors and sizes these are made for movement so they are great for all weather and looks as well. Comfortable because they are no compressive so you can wear all day from yoga, to lunch to lounge. Keep their shape and look new as mine are also about 4 years old! Runs about $98.
Dupe option is here, Under $40! I have heard they are super similar though I do not personally own.
The Lululemon Wunder Train Legging— recently converted to now nearly my Favorite legging for workout. High waisted and 7/8 length the Everlux material combines comfort, sweat wicking, breathability– this is one that is a HIGH performance legging. Lift, run, walk do any kind of workout PLUS take them to lunch and beyond. Made for movement and high intensity workouts! Wash and wear perfect, looks brand new each time and does not lose shape with wear. Runs about $98.
Dupe: Couple other options I would suggest for workout are here and here— Both under $45 and run TTS. 🙂
Size: I wear Size 8 my typical Lululemon size.
The Aerie Offline Shine/Crackle legging. High Waisted and 7/8 length Has the look of a faux leather legging with more comfortable lounge fit. No shapewear in these as they will be more comfortable but don’t give me that same confidence as the previous pair. Given the look however they are a great dupe option to previous more expensive pairs with the same look. Runs under $50.
Size: I wear Large which is my typical Size.
