So you probably know by know if you follow me on Insta Stories that I’m OBSESSED with my Spanx Faux Leather Leggings. I literally wear them 2-3 times a week because they are just the best leggings I’ve ever owned. In fact, they are SO good that I believe they’re the best leggings for ANY body type. Here’s why:

Why these Spanx Leggings are the Best for ANY Body Type
- Not see through! I don’t know about you but I hate how see through most basic black leggings are. I always have to worry about wearing a top that covers my butt in case I have to bend over. The Spanx leggings don’t have this problem though because they are a different type of material (not just basic cotton?) so I can wear whatever top I want and bend over all day long and I’m still covered.
- Holds everything in – Spanx leggings are basically just a stylish compression sock for your entire lower body. They hold everything in place, flatten out my 3 months pregnant baby belly (that I still have at 7 months postpartum), and even help to shape my legs! #yasssss
- The regular length is long enough for my 5′ 7″ frame. This may surprise you, but finding leggings that are actually long enough is really hard for me. Even though I’m not super tall, I still have an issue (I must just have reeeeally long legs or something). These are some of the best leggings for tall girls, and they also have a petite option for you shorties!
- High waisted and magical! These leggings are sooo high waisted it makes my heart dance. LOL seriously though, I love a good high waist and these leggings DO NOT disappoint. This is one of the attributes that makes them some of the best leggings for any body type!
- Not just your basic black legging – the last thing I love about these Spanx leggings? The fact that they aren’t just a basic pair of black cotton leggings. I love the thicker materials that still feels comfortable and breathable on, and the pebbled look really adds an edge to the leggings that most just don’t have. They’re great for date night, running errands, chilling at home, and I even wear them to work!
I held off purchasing these leggings for literally years (the price tag scared me a little), but now that I’ve made the plunge there is NO WAY I will ever mess around with other leggings. I’m really excited to get a few different styles like this one here.
Have you tried the Spanx leggings? If not, what brand is your fave? Let me know in the comments and happy Tuesday!

These are magic leggings!! No more messing around, get the Spanx LOL
They seriously are!
I love my spanx leggings! I am short and round, and I always feel so confident going out in them! I like the sheen to this pair in your post!
Yay so glad you love them too! I love the sheen too, it’s almost a pebbled leathery look. It’s nice because it adds some texture to an all black look (one of my go-to’s).
Those look so nice! I’ll have to tell my daughter about these! She wears leggings almost exclusively lol.
Haha I totally feel her! These will be great cause they’re such good quality, you won’t have to keep replacing them!
I’ve been wanting to try these because they look so cool and nice that it gives a nice shape!
You will love them! I’m obsessed, can’t wait to get another pair!
I like the spanx leggings because they go with pretty much anything, and they are fashionable too.
Exactly, they’re so versatile and stylish!
These leggings look great on you! At 5’9 I can totally relate to finding long leggings being a challenge. And at 10 weeks post partum the compression is clutch!
Thanks Shannon! Yasss another tall mama! These would be great for you babe, I started wearing them at around 12 weeks pp!
I LOVE black leggings. They’re my go to but I typically wear J Crew or ALO. I’ll have to give these a try after your great review!
Oh I’ve never thought to try those brands, thanks for sharing, I’ll check them out!
I’ve never tried Spanx before! I’m pretty much a die hard Lulu fan. I go for anything high waisted!

I’m always hearing great things about Lululemon, I think I will have to try those as well. And I’m the same, high waisted is my go-to!
I didn’t even know Spanx made leggings! I’m definitely going to grab a pair now, they look super hot on you!
Thanks so much Stephanie, I hope you love them as much as I do!
I keep hearing about how amazing these Spanx leggings are and I really need to get a pair. I wonder if they will be on sale during the Nordstrom’s Anniversary sale this year.
They were on sale last year for the sale so I woulnd’t be surprised!
I love spanx so.spanx leggings will definitely be a plus for me, don’t know why I don’t own a pair yet.
They’re pretty fantastic, 100% worth the money in my opinion!
