The ribbed knit leggings are offered in petite, tall and regular lengths
Little beknown to some, Spanx sells more than just shapewear. The brand’s famous stretchy material, which sucks in the midriff, giving an hourglass shape, is also used in some clothing, notably leggings.
Spanx is currently hosting an online sale, with considerable savings on its otherwise expensive pieces. Currently, shoppers can save 50% on the Shape Ribbed Knit Leggings, now priced at £40, down from £80 (available in sizes extra small to extra, extra large).
Designed with a stretchy yet wearable fabric, the seamless Shape Ribbed Knit Leggings promise targeted tummy control and waist shaping. They feature a high-rise waistband with built-in compression around the waistline.
The Shape Ribbed Knit Leggings are slightly cropped, ending just above the ankle. Shoppers can opt for tall, regular and petite lengths.
They are designed more for casual wear with ballet flats or boots than for gym leggings, though they can be worn just as easily with trainers. For style inspiration, the model wears an all-black ensemble, accessorised with kitten heels, a thick belt and chunky earrings.

Spanx’s Shape Ribbed Knit Leggings have received glowing reviews from fashion fans, especially for their suction material. One buyer commented: “It fits like a glove. Love the material and the size is perfect for my height. 5 feet tall. Very comfortable wear.”
Another buyer said: “The knit leggings are a little tight but they sure do slim the booty, tummy, and legs. I love wearing them.” Whilst a third consumer remarked: “I was not sure at first when I opened the package, but once I put them on, I loved them. Very comfortable and fits great! I usually get a medium, and I did and it worked out perfectly.”
A handful of customers reported issues with the length of the leggings, as one person simply explained: “Size was very small.”
“The fabric is so durable, and really snatches me in all the right places. I love the texture, which looks and feels more luxe than plain leggings,” a fifth buyer wrote.
A penultimate shopper said: “I’m obsessed with ribbed leggings and couldn’t believe spanx had them…ON SALE! I bought five pairs. I go through a lot of leggings since I wear them for working out every day. Going on, they will feel snug, but once you get them up, they are great.”
A final person added: “These are my go-to leggings. Thick fabric, booty-lifting, tummy-smoothing. They don’t look like workout leggings.”
