I am a child of the 80’s. I lived in ill-advised bodysuits and leggings. I still have the scars. Those poppers were lethal. I have been a legging refusenik every since.
As an adult I have a troubled history with pants. I am short and curve so trousers can make me look lumpy, as much as I love a pair of the questionable variety. Jeans are not usually my friend as they need a lot of altering to look good (yes, I am that short). Nevertheless, I resort to jeans of a weekend when the idea of tight wrangling does not appeal. I feel fabulous until the lycra sags and I start to resemble an old sofa.
The bestie recommended Next leggings. They are really thick, stretchy and make your bum look brilliant. I bought a pair of black and a pair of navy, then immediately bought more. They do a petite version so I do not have artfully ruched ankles.
I’m so pleased that I’ve seen the light. I’m so comfortable I may do some start jumps and lunges. Or have a nice sit down with a brew.
