Written by Kylah Field

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.

Fleece-Lined Leggings

Fleece-lined leggings are the cozy upgrade your wardrobe needs when temperatures drop. They’re designed to keep you warm without the bulk, so you can stay snug and stylish all season long.

SPANX Faux Leather Fleece-Lined Leggings bring together warmth and edge like no other. The sleek faux leather exterior delivers a bold, statement-making look, while the plush fleece lining keeps you toasty when the weather isn’t playing nice. The hidden shaping waistband smooths and supports, so you feel as good as you look.

These leggings are perfect for days when you want to channel "fashion-forward but make it functional." Whether you’re heading out in the chill or just want to feel a little extra, these are the leggings that let you brave the cold in style.

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.

Ankle Leggings

Ankle leggings stop right at, you guessed it, the ankle—striking that sweet spot between cropped and full-length. They’re versatile, flattering, and perfect for showing off your favorite shoes. Whether you're dressing up or keeping it casual, ankle leggings bring the polish without the effort.

Our SPANX Jean-ish® Ankle Leggings are where denim meets leggings in the best way possible. Crafted from a stretchy knit fabric with the look of real jeans, they give you the polished vibe of denim without sacrificing comfort. The pull-on design smooths your middle, thanks to a hidden shaping panel, while the ankle-length cut keeps things sleek and modern.

Designed with functional back pockets and faux front pockets, these leggings have all the style of jeans minus the button-and-zip drama.
