Best Bum Shaping Leggings of 2018
New Year, New Butt
The next year is almost here and you are looking for a quick bum shaper. Leggings have become staples in our wardrobes and for good reason. An essential clothing piece for every respectable woman, the following curated bum shaping pieces can flatter any body type guaranteed. If you are looking to add dimension to your legs, hips and glutes and accentuate pretty much all the curves of your lower body, you should definitely consider getting one of them.
Moreover, we took the time to pick the most stylish lines as well. Not only will you look firmer you will also look smooth, whever you are on your way to the gym, your yoga class or simply running errands around the neighborhood.
Perfect for the squat rack, perfect for your yoga class. Perfect even for a trip to the grocery store. As you can tell, we are big fans of Lululemon's bum shaping leggings. Tight enouch to firm you up yet comfortable enough to wear all day long without making you feel like a show off, we can't recommend these enough. Cool due to their enhanced natural breathability, these won't make you sweat much even during your jogging sessions. And, well, in case you are wondering, since Lululemon's leggins have no front seam they should keep the camel toe effect at bay. What we really like about Gigi Legging's is their design – due to their thick waistband and contouring metallic panels, these elongate your legs considerably. That being said, these are not for the faint of heart: The Gigi leggins sport a unique see-through mesh detail. Make sure you can – and are willing – to pull this off before you buy them. Thankfully, their cut is anti camel toe. Superhero bum sculpting leggings. Well, with that kind of hypey introduction, Sweaty Betty's leggings have a lot to prove. Do they deliver? In looks, we can not really say they do. Do not mistake this. We do not mean they don't look good, they certainly do. But they do not look all that original. In fact, these leggings look rather plain. So, if you are looking to make an impression and have an extavaganza look, these are probably not right for you. We like these because they are different. As you can tell, we gave a distinct focus for fitness oriented leggings in our list so far. We were very pleased with LYSSÉ's product because it combines the easy comfort, tightness and butt firming qualities of athletic leggings with the smooth, versatile air of more formal clothing.
When it comes to taking care of them, you should take great care to wash them with like colors. Machine washable – albeit with cold water – these should not be bleached, nor ironed, nor dry cleaned.
If you are looking to draw every eye in the room – and are not afraid of a sort of inconvenient cleaning routine – we highly recommend you give these bum shapers a try.
Gigi Leggings – Nude
The material used is the Lycra Sports Pro fabric – which is completely machine washable and offers considerably extra compression. The extra compression is what really makes the difference in the way your body firms up: Your natural lower body curves get enhanced totally. Not only will your bum get a lift up, you will also feel highly comfortable. Last but not least, the Gigi design also works to ensure you get optimal performance during your workouts – be they a flowy, vinyasa yoga routine or plain, regular running.
2XU's Pattern Mid-Rise Compression Tights
Ever felt your leggings are not quite as tight fitting as you would had liked? Sort of sliding down and the like, as you go around your day? Well, 2XU's butt lift leggins are the answer. These are so tight you may even have some trouble pulling them up, initially. But once they go up they are not going to go anywhere. Due to their tightness they stretch extremely well are amazingly well tuned to the way you move your body. This obviously makes them an ideal choice for the type of woman who goes through a lot of activity daily. Excellent for both low and high impact workouts, these will even help you during your warm up. Your muscles will warm up far easier and stay warm far longer, protecting you from avoiding any cold induced injury. Also, as warmth promotes blood circulation, wearing these will somewhat improve your recovery process, helping your tired body heal and get back in shape for your next workout. A highly recommended option to consider for all athletic, strong women.
Sweaty Betty's Zero Gravity Run Leggings
That being said, what they lack in originality, Sweaty Betty's leggings more than make up for in function. Their fabric is ultra lightweight – you will practically feel you are wearing feathers – sweat wicking and quick drying. Their compression firms your natural curves considerably and enhances your lower body a lot.
We tried these for both running and spinning, and they were excellent. That being said, according to the manufacturer, these leggings are not recommended for yoga's downward dog pose. We wonder why. Smirk.
LYSSÉ's High Waist Seamed Leggings
This is by far the most versatile piece of clothing in our list. You can dress it up or dress it down as you like. These go well with basically everything. What is awesome that due to their flattering center seams, everything holds together nicely no matter what.
Still, their high waist design does far more than merely look stylish. We are talking about almost a full body transformation. Your hips, thighs and rear will be enhanced – but so will your tummy. And do not worry. You won't have to keep your breathe 24/7 to pull these off. They are very comfortable.
If you are looking to get highly flexible leggings that you will be able to wear in a multitude of occassions, you can't really go wrong with LYSSÉ's leggings.
