Spanx leggings review!

Today I have a HUGE Spanx leggings try on session and review for you. These leggings have become such a staple in my closet that I want to share all the fits and finishes and details with you in one blog post for easy reference. I find the Spanx leggings to be the most comfortable and stylish for everyday wear. They are never see through, fit true to size (I have my usual size small in all pairs) and they are super flattering. If you are in the camp that leggings aren't pants, this post may sway you. These are definitely suitable for the public. If not, skip over this post! If you are like: leggings all day everyday, well then you are my kind of gal!

First let's talk about fit. Like I mentioned, I have size small (my usual size) in each of these leggings. Some people prefer to go up a size and if you feel like you are between sizes you could definitely do that. The amount of stretch these leggings have is unbelievable. Also, beware when you pull them out of the box when you first buy them that they look like baby tights - haha! But seriously. They look so small. But they definitely stretch so don't worry! If you like a legging that really holds in your midsection these are the leggings for you! And hopefully not TMI, but I have had two c-sections and this completely smooths out my mid-section. Sometimes with thin leggings you can see the scar or the c-section shelf through the leggings and it's so annoying. NOT SO with these leggings.

Next let's talk about finish. I am going to show you four pairs here. The leather look legging, the black seamless legging, the camo seamless legging (also available in leopard!) and the velvet legging. They are ALL amazing. I seriously love them all so much. I'll talk more about styling them below.

And finally let's talk about washing them. I wash the seamless leggings and dry them (but you could hang them to dry too). The velvet and the leather look leggings both get washed but hang dry only.

Okay, let's take a look at the leggings and style them up!


It can be difficult to see in these photos (I did my best!) the leather look quality of these leggings. But I'm sure you've seen them around before. They have a nice subtle hint of sheen to them that make them look leathery in the best way possible. You can see I paired them with a fleece jacket and sneakers on the left for an elevated athleisure look. Or with a camo jacket and sweater for a more casual everyday look. I don't always subscribe to the "bum must be covered with leggings" rule. Sometimes just a chunkier jacket or sweater that covers half of the area is good for me. It's a personal decision what you like best.

This pair is my favorite of the bunch and by far gets worn the most. For fall and winter these leggings get worn at least once a week. Most weeks more. They are medium thickness, quite warm and are just so comfortable. You can pull together a sweatshirt and denim jacket combo for everyday running errands or hanging out around the house or the classic cardigan and leggings look is always a great look too!

This is the newest addition to my closet! I LOVED the black seamless leggings so much I went for the camo pair. I have a pair of camo leggings that are more athletic and they just aren't as comfortable as this pair. I love them with just a simple sweatshirt for hanging around the house (or throw a big coat over it for errands this time of year) or the classic cardigan combo always works with leggings!

This pair is a DREAM for winter and holiday events! Hello, most cozy Thanksgiving or Christmas look! This pair is incredibly soft and they feel silky smooth on your legs. This pair has sold out the past two winters. So if you want a pair, snag them! I love dressing these up for holiday events or just feeling a little more pulled together while still being super cozy for quiet family events.
