Slipping into a pair of Spanx leggings should be a no-brainer, but with dozens of options, even a seasoned shopper can feel overwhelmed. Do you want leggings that hit just above the ankle, or something full-length and cozy? Are you after a barely-there fit, or major sculpting power for all-day confidence?

Good news: This guide sorts out the best Spanx leggings by length, fabric, and function—so you can shop smarter and live comfier, every day.

7/8 Leggings

7/8 leggings are the Goldilocks of leggings—not too long, not too short. They hit just above the ankle, giving you that sleek, tailored look while still letting your sneakers steal the show. Bonus: they magically make everyone’s legs look longer.

Our SPANX Booty Boost 7/8 Leggings aren’t your average leggings—they’re engineered for results. With a contoured Power Waistband, these leggings smooth and support, so you feel tucked in and lifted exactly where you want to be. Designed with performance fabric that’s breathable and sweat-wicking, they keep you cool during your toughest workouts (or grocery runs).

And the fit? Chef’s kiss. The 7/8 length hits perfectly above the ankle, while the four-way stretch fabric moves with you like a second skin. Oh, and they’re completely opaque—because nobody signed up for an impromptu squat test. Whether you're hitting the gym, running errands, or lounging at home, these leggings have your back—and your booty.

Full-Length Leggings

Full-length leggings are your go-to for total coverage, from waist to ankle. They’re the MVPs of your closet when you want that all-over sleek look or need a little extra warmth without sacrificing style. Think of them as the workhorse of the legging world—ready for anything.

Our SPANX Booty Boost Full-Length Leggings take functionality and style to a whole new level. They feature a Power Waistband that sculpts and smooths, giving you that streamlined, sculpted silhouette while staying ultra-comfy all day.

Made from premium, sweat-wicking fabric with just the right amount of stretch, these leggings are perfect for when you want maximum coverage without bulk. Whether you're tackling a workout or lounging hard, these leggings are proof that performance and style can (and should) coexist.

Scuba Leggings

Scuba leggings are the ultimate mix of structure and stretch. With a sleek, tailored look and a touch of compression, they smooth and sculpt like your favorite workwear while moving with you all day. Think of them as leggings that work just as hard as you do—whether you’re in the office or off duty.

The SPANX Shape Scuba Legging is designed to deliver that perfect polished edge. Made from our signature scuba fabric, it hugs in all the right places while keeping its shape. The clean lines and refined silhouette make it versatile enough to style up or down, all while giving you the confidence boost Spanx is known for.

Thanks to its comfortable stretch and stay-put fit, this legging doesn’t just look sharp—it feels effortless. Pair it with a crisp blazer for work, an oversized knit for weekends, or sleek boots for dinner out. The result? A wardrobe staple that makes looking put-together as easy as pulling on your favorite leggings.

Faux Leather Leggings

Faux leather leggings are the ultimate blend of comfort and cool. They mimic the sleek look of leather while offering the stretch and ease of your favorite pair of leggings. Ideal for dressing up or dialing up your everyday style, they’re the definition of effortless edge.

SPANX Faux Leather Leggings are the statement piece your wardrobe has been waiting for. Designed with a glossy, leather-like finish, they add instant polish to any outfit. But it’s not just about looks—the contoured Power Waistband sculpts and smooths, so you feel confident from every angle.

With their comfortable stretch fabric and a stay-put fit, these leggings are as practical as they are chic. Whether you’re pairing them with an oversized sweater for brunch or a blazer for a night out, they’re the easiest way to elevate your look without sacrificing comfort.

FAQs About SPANX Leggings

What’s the difference between 7/8 leggings and full-length leggings?

7/8 leggings hit just above the ankle, giving a sleek, modern look that shows off your shoes. Full-length leggings extend to the ankle for extra coverage and warmth. Both styles feature our signature sculpting fit—it’s just a matter of your personal preference and outfit vibe.

Machine wash cold, inside out, on a gentle cycle. Lay flat to dry to preserve the stretch, shape, and sheen. Avoid bleach or fabric softener.

Are SPANX leggings true to size?

Yes! SPANX leggings are true to size and designed with stretch for a flexible, body-hugging fit. If you’re between sizes and prefer a firmer feel, size down. For a more relaxed fit, stick with your regular size.
