Need legging help

I was also looking at that Baleaf website. D1’s birthday/Christmas list includes some fitness tops and loungewear. She is not one to want/need the $80 top from Athleta.

Would love to hear more feedback from Baleaf users. Also, I swear I have seen their stuff on Amazon???

This name jogged my memory……I looked up my Amazon history and saw that I ordered and returned the Baleaf fleece leggings in Medium last year. Given that I wear a Medium and sometimes Large, my guess is that I found them to run small (I didn’t reorder the Large).

I found the fleece lined leggings run small. I don’t like tight things, so I ordered 2 sizes up. I have some nylon pants and joggers and I ordered my usual size. I’ve ordered through Amazon and the returns are simple.

So, the Athleta Moto Leggings didn’t fit. I’ll keep the regular, even if I have to just cover up the front, or figure out something. Just too cute. I was going to take the patterned jacket back, but I just love it. Surely I can find some leggings that don’t show anything.

Question fir those types of jackets. I’ve never worn them,.,ever. What do I wear under it? The arms are tight, so I’m assuming some kind of sleeveless tank. Can you wear a vest over it? It’s not real thick. I’m new to athleisure wear and am just going by pictures of how to style. Oh yeah…is keeping their bags “a thing”.

Just a tank underneath. I have a high neck tank that I like but any tank is great.

I don’t know if I’m the most stylish person but I would wear a vest over the jacket. I’m a huge vest person and wear them to keep warm almost all winter.

Yes, keep the bags. They are great! Athleta and lululemon bags are the best

For sure keep the bags!

I am not a tank top person so I will wear a thin tshirt under a jacket - or honestly for me if the sleeves are too tight I’m not buying it. I don’t do tight on top!

One thing nice about Athleta online is if you look at an item if you scroll down they will usually suggest other Athleta items to pair with that item. So look up your jacket online and see how they pair it!

Thanks! I just ordered a plum not too puffy puffer vest from Poshmark. I think it will go nice with it, and also the patterned leggings. I notice on the stock photos and in the stores there are a lot of layered looks, so I think this will be nice. So, the Athleta bag I have is fairly small, not sure what I’d even use it for.

I don’t use the bags in a stylish way but if I’m sending things home with a friend or packing small items for a car ride or carrying additional items to work, etc. An upgrade from a paper bag or those stupid thin plastic bags!!!

I went to look at the reviews on the salutation jacket. Did you say you had it, also? Anyway, someone said they were pairing it with their salutation leggings and a vest. Do you think that’s too much, or cute? I’m usually pretty good at styling, but I need a stylist fir Athleta. I’m still reeling from the cost. Haha

Oops, my last reply was meant for deb922. I suppose I will think of something to use them for,

I saw these recommended on amazon. I saw that people were looking for lower priced fleece lined leggings. I don’t have them, I have a pair of lululemon ones that I bought on a resale site that I’ve had for years and have worn and washed great. But these were suggested an an alternative

I have some salutation leggings but NOT the jacket. I think wearing a vest with the jacket is fine!

Don’t over think it! I like to pair a plain item (top or legging) with a print item myself. That’s why I think your printed top and leggings WITH the vest and solid shoes would work.

I don’t have a salutation jacket but have had jackets like that. For me they are too cold without a vest so I would always layer a vest over a jacket like that.

I think a plum vest sounds really cute.

I definitely shop the sales.

I would probably wear a vest over the sweater you linked at the top of this thread.

I wear vests over sweaters, jackets, sporty dresses, even fleeces if I’m running errands and don’t want to wear a coat. I like a hip length vest, and wear them with leggings. But I am short.

I even have a long vest which covers the butt. Kind of like this one

Not exactly a reply to the OP, but if I was going to spend a bundle on a pair of leggings, this would be the pair.

PS - Has anybody heard of or tried RAYPOSE leggings?

Thanks for all the great legging suggestions. I’m going to order some of them soon!

As far as fleece-lined leggings, I have a pair from RBX that I really like. I checked a few months ago, and RBX no longer had any fleece-lined leggings on their site. I was bummed! But then yesterday, this ad popped up

While they aren’t exactly like the pair that I already own, I will be ordering another pair from RBX.

On the Lularoe line, I had some buttery soft colorful patterned leggings that I bought at Walgreen’s. I don’t want anyone to think I supported Lularoe, so I just put them all in my donation box.
