Move over Lululemon, Here are Your New Favorite Leggings

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Hofstra chapter.

If you’re like me, you basically live in leggings. And by basically live in leggings, I really mean that you believe that leggings are God’s gift to women. Finding the perfect pair of leggings is harder than finding the perfect boyfriend because the perfect boyfriend doesn’t have to comfortably fit your lady curves, look cute with any outfit, and not show off your g-string. I don’t know about you, but it took a lot of soul searching to find my perfect pair of leggings and for a long time I thought that I would have to spend some dough to get a pair that would last. That was until I came across the compression leggings from Old Navy.

 

Alright, I didn’t exactly randomly come across them. I worked at Old Navy at the time and I was looking for a new pair of leggings to work out in for a good price. So I gave them a try, and I now have them in 5 different colors. These leggings are the ultimate bang for your buck and dupe for the Lululemon brand. These leggings are thicker than cotton leggings and made of a stretchy athletic fabric that molds to your legs and feels like a nice hug. They’re long enough to fit my giraffe legs and even after having them for years, they haven’t thinned, pilled, or stretched out. I’m convinced they’re made of space material and will last forever.

I wear the shit out of these leggings. I wear them to the gym, to class, to my internship because they are so comfortable and can easily be dressed up or down. They have this magical flattering power to them that makes your legs look long, thin, and perfect and I’ve turned on all of my friends and even my mom on to them. They are the perfect edition to any wardrobe and the price is fantastic for a college student on a budget. I would honestly consider paying double the price because they would still be half the price of Lululemon. Take my advice and get yourself into these leggings before they sell out for the holidays and you too will realize how amazing these leggings really are.
