- Some of our favorite pairs of leggings come not from typical athleisure brands, but from shapewear company Spanx.
- In addition to its iconic shapewear, Spanx makes leggings that are widely loved for their style, comfort, and flattering fit.
- We tried four styles - the EveryWear Mesh Side Stripe Leggings ($110), Look At Me Now Cropped Seamless Leggings ($68-$72), EveryWear Icon Leggings ($110), and Active Printed Leggings ($110-$114) - to confirm they really are worth it.
Over the course of 21 years, Spanx has firmly entrenched itself into popular culture and become synonymous with looking and feeling confident in your evening dress.
Though it's usually associated with smoothing, panty line-eliminating shapewear, another part of its business - which has expanded far and wide to include activewear, swimwear, and men's underwear - is quietly raved about, too.
Spanx leggings have earned their own share of fans because they feature the same comfort and flattering look of the famous shapewear, but take everyone's favorite form of pants-that-aren't-really-pants.

A few of the most popular Spanx legging styles are the Faux Leather Leggings ($98), Faux Leather Moto Leggings ($110), and the Look At Me Now Seamless Leggings ($68).
The sleek and slick Faux Leather Leggings are slimming and make an ordinary outfit instantly more edgy, while the Moto version turns the edge up further with its textured moto seams. Though you'd expect these styles to be uncomfortable or restrictive, they're quite stretchy and have control tops.
Meanwhile, the stretchy knit Seamless Leggings are an attractive legging basic you'll default to on the weekends, but won't feel ashamed to wear out of the apartment.
In total, Spanx sells nearly 40 styles of leggings, from "Jean-ish" to luxe velvet to active. They run from $60 to $130, with most styles priced around $100 to $110 - on par with premium athleisure brands. The Spanx difference, however, benefits from a design philosophy that has both comfort and style in mind, and executes through features like shaping waistbands and the absence of center seams.
We tried a few pairs of Spanx leggings to see for ourselves what the big deal was and came away impressed with their fit, quality construction, and flattering style. You can read more about our experiences, then shop all of Spanx's leggings below.
