The Find: My Search for Great Leggings Ends

I love Lululemon leggings, I do.  But spending $98 for leggings has never sat right with me.

I’ve tried all of the Lulu replacements — Athleta, Core10, CRZYoga, etc. — and they’re good.  They have their plusses and their minuses.  I liked them.  Sometimes, I loved them.  But I always ended up back in my Lulus.

Until I bought these leggings from Colorfulkoala on Amazon.  I mentioned them yesterday, but they need their own post.  Let’s run through why they’re so fantastic.

1. The fabric is smooth and thick like Lululemon.  I actually mistook them for a pair of Wunder Unders when I pulled them out of the drawer for the first time.
2. The shaping and compression is flattering like Wunder Unders.  It lifts and shapes, but doesn’t squeeze.
3. They have pockets, which is a value add in a COVID world where I need a mask all the time.
4. The 7/8 leggings are a great ankle-length for anyone 5’5″ to 5’8″.

Colorfulkoala has a lot of lengths, colors, prints, and styles of leggings on their page.  They also have joggers and shorts.  Their leggings run under-$35 per pair, and are worth every penny.  Like I said, I’ve tried all the Lulu replacements, and I liked them.  But these have me ready to sell my Lulus on Poshmark, so it’s serious.
