A good pair of leggings is the MVP of any wardrobe. They are effortlessly comfortable, stretchy enough for any 'strenuous' activity (read: sending a Vinted parcel) and look great with pretty much any neutral tee or sweatshirt. However, not all leggings are created equally and the really good, buttery-soft pairs will set you back around the £80 mark.
A celeb who is certain they have found the best leggings ever is Love Island star and documentary maker, Zara McDermott who shared all the intel via a dedicated Instagram story.
To celebrate her luxe-looking gym wear brand - Rise Black Label by Zara McDermott - now exclusively stocked at New Look, the star seized the opportunity to wax lyrical about the 'perfect second-skin leggings.'
"Honestly, creating the perfect legging/top set has not been for the faint-hearted, but this fabric is quite literally beyond perfection, explains Zara. "It's like I'm wearing a second skin. To be honest, it feels like I'm not wearing anything at all, the leggings are such a weightless feel which is exactly what I wanted."
"These are so light and airy and weightless on my legs, I can't even explain it to you. They're incredible. I love a slight sheen on the leggings, I don't like anything too matte. Also, they're super duper stretchy and as you can see all the tops meet the leggings perfectly and give the perfect waist detailing and silhouette."
The leggings retail for £25, are made from a polyester and elastane blend and are available in black, blue and brown colourways. As Zara points out, they go perfectly with the matching vest tops, £22 and together, make the ultimate Reformer Pilates fit.
With the first launch quickly selling completely out of stock, you best believe Zara's go-to leggings won't be around for long.
