Marks & Spencer is selling a pair of gym leggings said to be "extremely comfortable and flattering" on the figure. In fact, shoppers aren't just wearing them to the gym, but out and about running errands and even lounging around the house.
Design and Features
The Go Balance Foldover Waist Flared Leggings are priced at £30 and feature a four-way stretch fabric that naturally cools the body. The flared leg is trendy, while the foldover waistband allows you to adjust the rise and coverage across the waist. This design resembles more expensive alternatives, such as the Nike-Skims Foldover Slim Flare Leggings at £136 and the Lululemon Groove Nulu Foldover-Waist Flared Pant at £108 (currently on offer for £79).
Shopper Reviews
The M&S leggings are available in black, sizes six to 24. They are flagged as a popular choice on the website. One shopper said: "I bought these for acting rehearsals and just general mooching about and I really love them! Easy to throw on and extremely comfortable and flattering. I would purchase again!"
Another five-star reviewer said: "Love the fit on these leggings, I’m usually a size 12, but bought another pair in a 10 and they look terrific, will be wearing them on a long haul flight soon as you can really dress them up with the right shoes and top."
A third fan said: "I bought these as I was starting Zumba classes and I didn't have suitable gym wear. These are just lovely. A great fit, great look, well made. I love the colour too. The addition of the foldover waistband is fantastic, it adds tummy control too. Also - a great price."
Fit Considerations
Some shoppers noted length issues. One wrote: "Comfortable leggings but a little short- I am 5ft 7ins." Another said: "I'm 5ft 4in and the leggings are very long, it would be helpful if they came in different lengths like trousers do."
Alternatives
If you're looking to shop around, the Sweaty Betty Soft Touch Super Soft Flared Yoga Leggings, usually £90, are currently on offer for £35 in the sale. Although they lack the foldover feature, they come in three lengths with sizes XXS to XXL.
