Spandex Leggings

"Best Womens Stretch Leggings Recommendations"

So what is it about spandex leggings that we really like? Is it the soft feel when running yout fingers on the fabric? Or the fact that they are a pair of stretch leggings that pull in the extra flab? I say it's both!

A Wardrobe Essential

If there's one layering piece you must own, then that has to be these stretchy cotton leggings that are a quick fix when you want to wear something beneath a very short dress, a mini skirt or with tunic tops and shirts.

There is no doubt that they'll give your legs the freedom to move around. They're different from plain cotton leggings that seem to get bigger for every time you wear and wash them.

You can also find slimming stretch leggings with a control top panty that is specially made to smooth down your legs, thighs, butt and tummy. A partcularly like Sassybax line of shapewear leggings which lifts your butt as well!

Spandex leggings are a fabric mix of both cotton and synthetic materials like Elastan/Lycra. They're an awesome material that makes a garment stretchier and durable all at the same time. Makes them a little bit shiny but the soft feel and look compensate that!

Tips on wearing spandex leggings

  • They look gorgeous with both high heel gladiator shoes and flats
  • Make sure you pick the right length for your legs and frame. Both ankle and capri leggings are versatile lengths. But be sure that they do not hit the thickest part of your leg (the calves) or else they might look stubby (unless you have very thin and long legs)! This is an important rule if you have petite frame or have short/curvy legs.
  • Wear the right length for the season; capris look good for summer and ankle for colder months.
  • If you're just wearing a long top or a tunic with the leggings, make sure that the hemline hit at least below the butt cheeks. Wearing it shorter will only draw attention to your butt and it'll look funny
  • Secure versatile colored leggings like black, dark brown, dark navy blue and cream/white. They go great with most color and outfit combos.
  • Have fun with other colors like deep purple, green, electric blue, red and mustard yellow for your fall wardrobe! They are the perfect match for your long knit sweaters!
