So much so, I actually wore! it! thrice! in the gym whilst on holiday in Mexico (but alas it's still too cold to don outdoors in the UK at the moment). So I was surprised to fall head over heels for SPANX's Get Moving skort (essentially bike shorts - that don't roll up or budge - hidden under an outer skirt layer). I like wearing them to do yoga from home as they're freeing, and occasionally to run on a very hot day, but that's pretty much it. "Please let it be known first and foremost that I am not a shorts-in-the-gym person. Story continues SPANX Get Moving Skort (tested in a size M) I also felt confident enough to wear them with a jumper for a casual day out, without feeling the need to tie my jumper around my waist, something which felt novel for me! They’re really versatile and because of how soft they are I’ll be wearing them to a yoga class next." - Catriona Innes, Cosmopolitan's Features Director Crucially, when I wore them for my workouts (boxing and weight lifting classes) the waist didn’t roll down during tough moves.

"The Every Wear leggings were so comfortable that I didn’t feel restricted at all. I wish brands had more consistency in their sizing from style to style, it's a problem for so many and is disheartening!). However, the Every Wear leggings fit like a dream (I’m a size 16 to 18 and again, opted for a size XL – but this time it was perfect. "Unfortunately the initial SPANX leggings that I wanted to try out (the Booty Boost leggings) came up too small, despite me ordering the size XL as advised, and therefore I wasn't able to review them. That’s fine for a party or a wedding, but definitely wouldn’t do for working out.

"I was slightly hesitant about trying SPANX activewear as I can get really distracted from my workout if a pair of leggings are uncomfortable… and whenever I’ve tried shapewear in the past, I’ve always spent half of my day adjusting it and feeling restricted by the garment. The shorts underneath were also a little tight around my thighs at first but they loosened up after about a half hour of wear.SPANX Every Wear Leggings (tested in a size XL) The small fit fine, but I usually wear an extra small, so it’s worth noting that it doesn’t fit true to size. I ordered the Get Moving Skort in a size up after reading the reviews. The double-layer smoothing waistband has excellent tummy control, making me feel more confident in showing off my waistline. Most impressively, however, is that this skort was the bottom that quieted my terrible body image enough to finally don an athletic crop top in public, thanks to its supportive structure. The two zippered back pockets are big enough to hold my keys and credit cards or ID while the front pocket fits my iPhone 12. It's the ideal item for running errands, participating in almost any athletic activity, or just lounging around on scorching summer days.Īnother amazing feature of this skort is the functional pockets, which are severely lacking in a lot of women’s clothing.

SPANX GET MOVING SKORT FULL
The built-in shorts are very supportive and provide full coverage should the skirt flip up, and they have a cotton gusset so I can wear the skort sans underwear on hot days.
SPANX GET MOVING SKORT SKIN
It offers UPF50+ to protect the skin it covers from the sun’s rays. The fabric is quick-drying so I can wear it while exercising and then out to run errands without feeling like a swampy mess. Made of polyester, elastane, and cotton, it’s breathable and soft. There are so many things to love about this skort. The deep pocket on the Spanx skort was large enough to hold my iPhone 12.
