These £28 Next gym leggings ‘hold you in perfectly’ – and never go see-through

If there’s one thing we’re always on the hunt for, it’s the perfect pair of black leggings. You know the ones: sculpting, squat-proof, and actually worth the hype. And according to very happy shoppers, Next’s £28 Black Sports Dry Tech Tummy Control High Waist Full Length Leggings might just tick every single box.

Because let’s be honest, finding leggings that don’t go see-through (yes, even mid-squat) and don’t fade after a few washes can feel like a full-time job. But these? They’ve built up a loyal fanbase for a reason.

One reviewer sums it up perfectly: “They are a great fit, hold my tummy in lovely, wash really well and don’t fade… so comfortable and flattering.” And that tummy control panel? It’s doing a lot of heavy lifting, giving that snatched, supported feel without being restrictive.

They’re not just for workouts, either. Thanks to their smooth, sculpting fabric and classic black finish, they slot seamlessly into your everyday wardrobe – think coffee runs, errands, and WFH days where comfort is key but you still want to look put together.

Of course, performance matters too. And shoppers are seriously impressed: “Comfortable for working out in the gym, don’t show your pants!!” Honestly, that alone is enough to sell us.

Even self-confessed premium legging fans are making the switch. “I usually wear Sweaty Betty or Lululemon… but these are great. They stay up, hold you in all the right places and not any see-through anywhere!”

Oh, and if black isn’t your vibe? They also come in navy for a slightly softer look, plus both regular and petite lengths so you can actually get that just-right fit.

The verdict: affordable, flattering, and genuinely gym-proof. Consider your legging search officially over.
