It's too bad they aren't your holy legging grail. <br />Just for a little commiseration: My Eileen Fisher skirted leggings slide down on me. And a new Hue pair does, too. It's annoying, yes, but for me, not enough to not wear them. Like Una, I just pull them up and move on. Worse for me are the NYDJ ponte skinnies that look quite a lot like leggings on me, despite the thick ponte knit, fly front, back seams, etc. Boy, do those ever slide down. I'm thinking I may be having some of your problem with them--my guess is I have too much thigh and not enough behind to keep them in place. Those drive me crazy. But I love the color, so I wear them. They seem to do slightly better with a belt. Yes, belting a pair of legging-like pants seems just a bit, um, counter-something, doesn' it?? <br />(And keep in mind, this is from the woman who has just adopted the mantra, "No more mediocre clothes." Hmmm.) </p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lagging-in-the-leggings-dept/page/2#post-1582029 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 04:50:36 +0000 Maneera 1582029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic! Btw I have Avery similar sweater to look #1 abd intend to copy your look in colder weather </p> <p>As for leggings that fit and stay up, I always buy Zara body shaping leggings. They fit like a dream, are high waisted with a wide band on the waist, are very affordable and last LONG despite abusing very much, come with interesting side seam designs, and are a ponte fabrication. I absolutely love those! I have 4 - two blacks, one grey and one blue. </p> <p>Here are links to Zara Canada: </p> <p><a href="http://m.zara.com/ca/en/woman/trousers/body-shaping-leggings-c0p2845220.html" rel="nofollow">http://m.zara.com/ca/en/woman/.....45220.html</a></p> <p><a href="http://m.zara.com/ca/en/woman/trousers/body-shaping-leggings-c0p2845222.html" rel="nofollow">http://m.zara.com/ca/en/woman/.....45222.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lagging-in-the-leggings-dept/page/2#post-1582020 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 04:06:24 +0000 Susie 1582020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, you look great in leggings! I really like your second outfit. I am temped too by the velvet leggings; they look like they would be a great option for the holidays- a bit dressy but still comfy cozy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lagging-in-the-leggings-dept/page/2#post-1582002 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 03:26:29 +0000 JAileen 1582002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look elegant in #2, but #1 is a super cute outfit too.</p> <p>ETA: I bought the EF skirted leggings last year but have yet to wear them. Part of it is weather - we jumped from summer weather to winter like that (snaps fingers - it's snowing right now!!!) but I still intend to wear them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lagging-in-the-leggings-dept/page/2#post-1582000 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 03:13:47 +0000 Suz 1582000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Una</b>, I am definitely trying those Gap things. I have a soft spot for velvet trousers anyway. This could be excellent. Thank you!&nbsp;</p> <p>And <b>Sarah</b>, you have a good point, too. Most of my fitness leggings have logos of some kind on them, though...would like to see any in person to ensure that wasn't an issue.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Aliona</b>, the skirted EF ones are a real favourite here. You look great in yours.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Peri</b>, your scarf wearing days are coming up! I have worn mine a ton already...I wear scarves between September and May really regularly. And then am thrilled to take them off for a few months, phew!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lagging-in-the-leggings-dept/page/2#post-1581990 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 02:51:21 +0000 Anonymous 1581990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these on you, Suz! Especially outfit 2. Leggings make me nervous--I've only owned athletic ones, and as a fellow long-rise person I've had more downs (literally) than ups. I also don't own many tunic tops so that makes leggings hard. I bought the EF skirted leggings earlier this year as 'gateway leggings' and I they've been working well so I think I'll just stop while I'm ahead. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lagging-in-the-leggings-dept/page/2#post-1581989 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 02:50:55 +0000 catgirl 1581989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shevia, I got the Gap leggings in blue velvet last week and they are really fab - a bit more like cigarette pants on me, but really nice and a bit dressy and holiday-like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lagging-in-the-leggings-dept/page/2#post-1581975 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 02:34:00 +0000 Peri 1581975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I think you look fantastic, as usual! I can't comment on leggings because I haven't given them a try yet, but I had to chime in and say...again...I'm envious you are getting to wear our scarf! Soon, soon, soon... :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lagging-in-the-leggings-dept/page/2#post-1581968 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 02:14:28 +0000 Jaime 1581968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz you look smashing in your leggings, especially picture #2 where I can see the details better. I am very drawn to the idea of velvet leggings ever since I saw Greyscale's post (10 minutes ago). I wonder if Gap Israel carries them...back to you, I don't share your modifiers (although I am short my mid-section definitely holds up anything) but I do think you were very clever to figure all that out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lagging-in-the-leggings-dept#post-1581966 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 02:13:03 +0000 sarah 1581966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wonder about something like these higher waisted active wear leggings? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lagging-in-the-leggings-dept#post-1581941 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 01:02:22 +0000 Suz 1581941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all, again, for commiseration. It's so interesting how different we all are!! Even with similar body types we may or may not be bothered by a fit issue. Fascinating.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Greyscale</b>, I <b>LOVE </b>the velvet ones. I'm off to check them out! Thank you! I think you are totally right -- we have similar thigh issues. Strong legs but not skinny. ;)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lagging-in-the-leggings-dept#post-1581940 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 00:57:47 +0000 anne 1581940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, you have my sympathies. As you know we share quite a few body type modifies and while I don't have a problem with leggings (and all mine are cheapies from kmart or target) I haven't found a pair of gym leggings that will stay up on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lagging-in-the-leggings-dept#post-1581935 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 00:49:43 +0000 Bonnie 1581935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's been too hot to wear leggings so far this year, but last year I liked wearing my Gapfit cotton leggings with long tunics and skirts.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lagging-in-the-leggings-dept#post-1581931 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 00:32:36 +0000 Greyscale 1581931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The velvet leggings that Una and I just bought might work for you. They're really pants, not leggings. In fact maybe they wouldn't be enough like leggings for your quest. But they come in lovely jewel tones and they have a long rise and room for my thighs, which are probably shaped like yours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lagging-in-the-leggings-dept#post-1581930 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 00:27:56 +0000 Angie 1581930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are Queen Positive &amp; Persistent.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lagging-in-the-leggings-dept#post-1581929 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 00:27:36 +0000 Angie 1581929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES. Price on those skirted leggings is hectic - $70 would have been better!&nbsp;</p> <p>I love the look of those tunics and cardis you posted with the the leggings, Suz. Look forward to seeing pics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lagging-in-the-leggings-dept#post-1581897 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 22:31:50 +0000 abc 1581897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, my input is worth nothing bc I liked the old leggings, and then I liked the butt vest and now I like these, too! &nbsp;I really hope you can find "your" leggings bc they do offer a very comfy option for our lifestyle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lagging-in-the-leggings-dept#post-1581889 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 22:25:09 +0000 carter 1581889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think both of these look great! Totally hear you on leggings being fussy. I am constantly pulling up a couple of my lulu leggings during class. It seems to be the non-muffin-top high rise pairs that drive me the nuttiest. The lower ones don't roll down, but they do give me muffin top:-(. I haven't worn regular leggings in years, but I did pick up a cheapo pair at Costco awhile back. I will try wearing them tomorrow to see if they drive me nuts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lagging-in-the-leggings-dept#post-1581879 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 21:40:23 +0000 Suz 1581879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like those slim pants, <b>Marilyn</b> -- I am often in search of something that doesn't suck the calves. Surprisingly, I took my normal BR size in the CM leggings, but admittedly they are snug; if I were buying them as a true pant I'd have sized up for sure. OTOH, I am a few pounds up from my normal weight right now as well so all my pants are a bit tight. (Ahem.)&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Una</b>, you made me laugh. But I think I am coming to a similar conclusion...fit issues that drive us crazy must be personal and maybe related to body type modifiers. The areas that make us feel self-conscious may be the ones that cause us most irritation as well.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Joy,</b> you could never have "chicken legs." But the expression made me chortle. I could use a bit of that syndrome. Maybe we should trade.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lagging-in-the-leggings-dept#post-1581861 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 20:58:02 +0000 Marilyn 1581861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is great news, Suz!&nbsp; Outfit #2 is sooo good!&nbsp; Love that.&nbsp; <br />What is the sizing like for the Amya?&nbsp; I find I generally have to go up a size at CM compared to Banana and such.&nbsp; </p> <p>I've been on the hunt for leggings as well.&nbsp;&nbsp; I just picked up these Hue Ponte Leggings to try and also these great Ponte Slim Ankle Pants at WHBM.&nbsp; The slim pant is pretty fantastic because they're super stretchy and comfy but actually look like a pant.&nbsp; Haven't had a chance to play around with them yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lagging-in-the-leggings-dept#post-1581850 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 20:31:08 +0000 catgirl 1581850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you mad, woman? These look phenomenal on you. And I intellectually comprehend your body fit issues but they are so hard to see! You look like leggings were made for you. But fit struggles are real, so I'll shut up now. It could be that certain fit issues bother some more than others - I tug my bottoms back in place pretty regularly, even the best fitting ones, and don't think twice about it. But shoulder strain makes me want to scream. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lagging-in-the-leggings-dept#post-1581832 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 19:40:52 +0000 Anonymous 1581832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Leggings cause chicken leg syndrome on me, so I want something more like a very slim straight or ankle pant, preferably woven to skim rather than stretch to fit. But, like you, leggings would be great for my lifestyle and a change from jeans/pants for long winters.&nbsp; I will be watching your finds for inspiration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lagging-in-the-leggings-dept#post-1581824 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 19:10:50 +0000 texstyle 1581824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not particularly a fan of leggings but these do look really good on you Suz.&nbsp; Funny thing is that lately I've purchased a few different tunic length tops and love them, but I wear them with skinny jeans/pants as opposed to leggings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lagging-in-the-leggings-dept#post-1581821 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 19:03:51 +0000 Anonymous 1581821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not a leggings wearer for all the reasons mentioned, but 'm impressed at your determination and success in finding some that work for you.&nbsp; And I enjoyed your little tip of the hat to Jane Eyre! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lagging-in-the-leggings-dept#post-1581820 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 19:02:28 +0000 Sal 1581820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look terrific- love the purple tunic! I think this look will be brilliant for you.</p> <p>I can have similar issues with skinny jeans and ponte pants, and I have a different shape. I think it is the cut around the waist and hips, and the stretch in the fabric. As long as it is just the odd adjustment I am fine with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lagging-in-the-leggings-dept#post-1581814 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 18:46:21 +0000 Alassë 1581814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you found your version, Suz!
