I’m 5’2″ and usually wear a 00 in Banana Republic/Gap brands. Hope that helps!

Just curious, how tall and what size are you? I’m trying to choose the right size for Athleta and my leg shape is pretty similar to yours

Thanks!

Personally I believe leggings as pants are a style that should have stayed in the 80s and will be highly regretted when most people look back on their photos from this decade. I said it when the trend started, and I am sticking to it.

In all seriousness, I think you look great in leggings. For my body type, that is a hard no, and even when I was very thin, I think I felt immodest in them apart from an exercise or dance setting. But for those who feel confident and healthy and comfortable in them, I say great!

Thanks for the tip! I do like Aritzia. Are they thick cotton (meaning, no underwear lines)?

For spring weather leggings,I prefer cotton too. For those, I buy from Aritzia. They have a high waisted style (mullaly?) that’s great. I used to really like Lululemon, especially the softer seasonal fabric knits (not luon). It’s seems that quality has deteriorated over time while they’ve continued to increase the price.

People have been telling me to check out Lululemon as well, so I’ll update this post as soon as I try them out! Otherwise, I think Athleta pieces are good quality for the price.

Your post is timely for me. I was just thinking I need more mom leggings and want some that are more durable. I might check some of these out. I found some from a brand called Pact that are nice but not quite as thick as I was thinking. I like that they are cotton and organic though. I like cotton better than the man made fabrics.
