And when I go on holiday, at least one pair of my Gymshark leggings has a reserved space in my carry-on. I found that when I had to switch up my workout routine in lockdown - which, like so many others, consisted of Joe Wicks and Yoga With Adriene classes on YouTube - my Gymshark leggings never fell down, no matter the workout.Ī few months after buying my first pair, I bought a second pair of Vital Seamless leggings in purple, and last month I purchased them again in black. Even after three years of washing-machine cycles and gym sessions, my original pair has retained its shape and elasticity. As they’re made out of a sweat-wicking material, which draws moisture away from the body, the leggings feel super-breathable, which definitely helps if you’ve had a sweaty gym session or you’re working out in summer (or both). Despite the fact that my leggings are in a soft-hued blue, they’ve never gone even slightly see-through. The supportive ribbed waistband hugs my figure, but not too tightly - they feel comfortable, but not restrictive. The Vital Seamless leggings are truly high-waisted - I’m five-foot-eight and they go up to the middle of my waist. My decision to purchase was finalized when I spotted the Seamless leggings in a gorgeous pastel sky-blue colour, right on budget at £40. I was sold by her review, so I tried on a pair of her Vital Seamless Leggings (I wasn’t keen on the holes in the Glow Tights) for the fit. She owned four pairs of its leggings (two of the Glow Seamless Tights and two of the Vital Seamless leggings), all of which she praised for their high-compression fit, durability, and aesthetic colour selection. Her recommendation was instant: Gymshark. I told her I needed leggings that were squat-proof, didn’t fall down when running, and, if possible, weren’t too expensive - around £40 was my ideal limit. Luckily, I knew who to ask for advice: my housemate, a black belt in kickboxing and frequent gymgoer. At the time, I was working out four to five times a week, doing a combination of cardio and strength training, and it seemed like I couldn’t win: No matter how much I spent on leggings, within a few months they lost elasticity and fell down - and friction caused holes to appear on the inside seam. I had just suffered through another infuriating cardio session where I had to endlessly hoist my women’s Nike Pro 365 leggings up to prevent them from rolling below my hips. One day three years ago, I arrived home from the gym with a frantic urge to strip my leggings off and burn them on a pyre. Photo-Illustration: The Strategist Photos: Retailers
