Sweaty Betty leggings

elpgal

If you like florals, these are lovely and run TTS. The website recommends that these are 80% opaque and not recommended for yoga?

Sorry can’t do Finds.

I have these too. Another good thing about them is that they work with so many colors.

They're supposed to be for running, but I have also worn them to TRX and Pilates class.

I think the yoga warning is probably because the floral print is on a fabric that started out white, but I have not really noticed any stretching show-through.

I hate to be constantly whining about the price of things, but $185?? What about them puts them in that price category? I've certainly heard good things about this line- but I thought my $100 Lululemon's were bad enough.....

These are pretty. They remind me of the Athleta floral leggings I tried, the white lining just didn’t work for my hip/thigh area.

Here is the Find. $135 US. Very cute floral. Beautiful. Sweaty Betty does fab stuff. Stunning quality and GREAT name.

I'm a DEVOTED High Waist Zella Leggings fan for yoga. They REALLY stay put.

Just chiming in to say that my Sweaty Betty leggings have lasted so well - may be 5 years - I wear them most weeks, at least a couple of times. I definitely gulped when I paid for them though!

Umm Lila - that makes sense.

Lisa - I am a sucker for florals, so I am going to chalk these up as an indulgence. But it is outrageous that leggings now cost as much as premium denim.

Colette; thanks for that Athleta recommendation. I should check these out.

Angie and Jane: glad to hear you approve of the quality. $135 is quite a bit for leggings. I am a little tired of plain colors and Lulu doesn't work well for me.

Chiming in to say that unlike Lululemon, Sweaty Betty does have sales, so it's worth holding out if you can.

Please. Do not wear to yoga. No one wants to know that you are wearing a thong or your undies have a floral print.

Elpgal, I was in no way judging the expense of the purchase! My apologies if it came out like that. I typed the price because it's different in the US. It was for information. One's budget is nobody's business but your own, and I respect all budgets. ENJOY your leggings.

Angie, No offense taken. I understood your intent. I am myself surprised by the expense.

Joy, . Promise I'll test them at home before taking them out in public. I could barely fit into the size at the store, so I couldn't tell how revealing they are. Nordstrom did not have the non-yoga disclaimer on their site but I am glad the Sweaty Betty site did,

GF - that's good to know. I'll keep an eye out.

Thanks, Elpgal. I appreciate the benefit of the doubt. If leggings are your jam - you should have fabulous pairs. These remind me of my skinny pants I got in the Netherlands a few months ago too. I wore them all weekend and love them.

I'm glad you posted this. I think they are beautiful. Given the happiness factor, that price is not unreasonable. The single problem I personally might have is the lack of 100 percent opaqueness.

I have those too from NAS. They were definitely an indulgence but they are SOOOO nice and amazingly flattering. High five! I wish I had floral pants like Angie’s too. I must be a sucker for florals.

Sterling, they are recommended for running and spinning. I think I am going to take up spinning

Only 80% opaque? Dealbreaker for me!
Elpgal, if you're going to take up spinning buy a gel seat. The bike seats are like sitting on a pointy rock

I tried my correct size and like Ummlila pointed out the floral print is on white fabric but no stretching out so far.

80 percent opaque should work for your intended purposes. I do a lot of bending over. I need 100 percent opaque.

I hope you do take up spinning. It looks like a fabulous work out. Certainly the energy coming from a spinning class is intoxicating. The rooms are dark too. So there will be no issue with the leggings.
