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

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 underneath 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.

Spanx offer slimming stretch leggings with a control top panty that is specially made to smooth down your legs, thighs, butt and tummy. If you want a pair to lift your butt look into the Sassybax line of shapewear leggings.

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!

How to Buy Spandex Leggings

    Golden apple Make sure you select 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 a petite frame or have short/curvy legs.

    Golden apple 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

    Golden apple Secure versatile colored leggings

    Such as black, dark brown, dark navy blue and cream/white. They go great with most color and outfit combos.

    Golden apple After securing the basics have fun with splashy colors

    Such as deep purple, green, electric blue, red and mustard yellow for your fall wardrobe! They'll add a pop of color to a basic dress. They're also a perfect match for your long knit sweaters!
