What is special about Gymshark leggings?
Each pair of Gymshark leggings have their own USP, but generally, the pull towards Gymshark leggings is their high-waisted nature and the fact they never fall down. They're also praised for being totally squat-proof and available in plethora of colours which match to their yoga tops and sports bras. They're really flattering, available in a good variety of sizes and - across most lines - are seamless.
Should I size down in Gymshark leggings?
“Gymshark leggings run pretty true to size, if you like a snug fit”, Sophie Cockett – GLAMOUR's Commerce Editor said. “If you prefer your leggings to be slightly looser, I'd size up, but otherwise, I love the supportive and form-fitting silhouette they provide in my normal dress size.”
