Leggings are the happy medium between comfort and style you need, whether you’ve been working from home in the same pair of sweatpants or you’re craving comfort at the office.
Fortunately, Spanx, the iconic shapewear and athleisure brand, has both new releases for the season and tried-and-true bestsellers that you require. Instead of simply directing you to their website, we thought a little fashion show would be appropriate, putting the stretch, shaping, and style to the test.
Read on for a detailed look at five of Spanx’s most popular styles, including the Booty Boost Active 7/8 Leggings, Faux Leather Leggings, and a variety of other leggings.
Spanx Booty Boost Active 7/8 Leggings.
With their signature sculpting performance fabric and contoured waistband, you’ll have the best butt ever. Even before squats, this flattering design is engineered to give you the best rearview. These leggings are ideal for spin classes and boot camps because they provide support while also looking great.
Pros:
- Compression material, sweat-wicking, and quick-drying fabric are ideal for a high-intensity workout.
- With five colors to choose from, including black, navy, plum, emerald green, and dark brown, it can be dressed up or down.
- Like the name implies, the upward-curved seam across the backside boosts the booty.
- From an XS to a 3X, there’s something for everyone.
Cons:
- When doing squats, they can be a little see-through, so wear skin-toned underwear.
- If you’re taller, go for the full-length leggings; these are a 7/8 length, which was actually full-length on my 5’3″ frame.
Spanx Faux Leather Leggings.
Faux Leather Leggings draw a lot of attention and are extremely comfortable. This style has a contoured Power Waistband that gives you a flat stomach and a great butt. You’re everyone’s asspiration in these leggings!.
Pros:
- While still wearing leggings, look super polished for an upscale look.
- The compression keeps you in place, making it ideal for pairing with a tight top if necessary.
- Squat test is a success.
- From an XS to a 3X, petite, regular, and tall sizes are all available.
Cons:
- They run small, so size up or expect to have to pull them on yourself.
- They’re not suitable for high-intensity days because they’re designed more for fashion than for activities.
Spanx Jean-ish Ankle Leggings.
Jean-ish Leggings are made of a soft knit fabric that looks and feels like leggings. This flattering style has an interior shaping panel that keeps you smooth and comfortable.
Pros:
- Gut Check shaping technology tames your tummy with the Slim is Built In feature.

Spanx Velvet Leggings
Get the coziest feeling with a stunning appearance! These leggings are the go-to for every soiree, thanks to their signature Power Waistband and soft velvet fabric. Dress them up or down, this look is a must-have for the season.
Pros:
- When you want a dressed-up or more fun legging, this is a stylish alternative to the Faux Leather and Faux Suede.
- The velvet is of excellent quality and remains soft throughout the day and between washes.
- The waistband has hidden shaping, but it isn’t too tight.
- Sizes range from a small XS to a large 3X.
Cons:
- They are currently only available in dark colors.

Spanx Seamless Look At Me Now Leggings
The Look at Me Now leggings have set a new standard for high-waisted leggings! Their high waistband hits just below the bust for nursing coverage and 360° of comfortable tummy control, making them a fave for new moms. Put them on and enjoy your oooo-ahh experience!
Pros:
- One of the most versatile pairs of leggings, suitable for both the gym and everyday wear.
- Very stretchy and comfortable, with a good balance of slimming without being a compression legging.
- Sizes range from an XS to a 3X.
Cons:
- Because they’re a little thinner than the others, lines from underwear may show through, so choose seamless or no-show underwear.
