Living in leggings?

Capri, high waisted, cropped, mid calf, stirrup, lycra, spandex, leather, patterned, coloured….there are SO many options out there but so many ride up, fall down, loose elasticity, fray, run, undo and when you DO find a pair you love you wear and wear them until the backside wears out!

In my job I wear leggings day in day out, 24/7 so I know what I’m talking about!  As you can see from my collection I have a legging addiction, I cannot avoid the sports section in a shop or website and am drawn like a moth to a flame to the shiny prospect of another pair that makes me feel that my ass is higher than it actually is!!

And the other thing - THE COST?  How can anyone justify the cost of £170 for lycra?  Alaia has a leopard print pair for £1,270 - they’d better be hoof proof….

So my fav brands right now are Aurique which are available on Amazon, yes I know!  They are an Amazon shop and they are fab!  I have three pairs in different patterns - high rise of course to make my legs look longer and a pocket for my mic!).  I am also a huge fan of Reebok, yes, I do get a hefty instructor discount but in my experience they are pretty fall-down proof!

I love my Sweaty Betty’s too, the quality is fabulous and they last forever as do LuLu Lemon but would only buy these in the sale as they aren’t the cheapest.  I am lucky that I travel to the US a lot (I have a pair from Walmart that I love!) so I have the bonus of the amazing outlet malls which have great discounts - in fact I don’t think that I have ever paid full price for a Reebok pair of leggings ever!

So if you have any legging recommendations - push them my way!!
