Comparing M&S 'magic' slimming leggings to Primark's - and one actually worked
Finding the perfect pair of leggings can be tricky, especially when searching for one that's not see-through, flatters your body shape, is the right length and feels comfortable. However, Marks and Spencer's says its 'magic' pair of leggings can help shoppers with all those things.
But which one truly works? Reporter Emily Collis of sister publication Birmingham Live put them to the test and compared both. Here's how she got on.M&S's leggings While trying on M&S' 'magic' leggings, Emily said: "I'm a size 14 and 5 ft 10, so finding bottoms long enough can be difficult. I was pleased to see that M&S's leggings came in petite, regular and long, with a big range of sizes from 6 up to 24. I got a 14 long.
"The waist was very high, but synched me in nicely, with no bulging on top." She added: "My body shape dips in slightly below my hips, but the leggings gave me a smooth, more hour glass shape. Side on, I didn't think my tummy looked any flatter, but they were flattering on my bum. Overall, I was impressed."
Upon putting them on, Emily said: "They were easy to get on, but I could instantly tell the fit wasn't right. Despite being a little too short in length on me, they fit like a glove around my legs and I was certain a size down would have been too tight.
