I love my Spanx leggings so much, but I know how pricey they are so I am always looking for similar pairs. I recently picked up a pair at Target for $15 and I'm amazed at how similar they are in look. Can you tell below which are which?
I feel like there is only one dead giveaway because of my height and that is, obviously, the length. Spanx leggings also come in short sizes which is perfect for my little 5'1 frame and this is something that isn't available with the Target pair.
So, here they are. On the left we had the $15 Target pair.
What's similar?
They are both a more matte faux leather look as opposed to a cheap looking, shiny material.
They aren't too noisy which can be annoying in other pairs.
Based on looks alone, it really is hard to tell the difference.
What's different?
The Fit. Spanx leggings really suck you in. The Target pair doesn't.
There aren't short sizes available in the Target pair.
The crackle-like finish in the Spanx pair is a little different. Similar, but different.
Which is which?
Left - Spanx
Right - Target
I wear a size small in both.
While it's pretty obvious that nothing will ever be as good as the original Spanx leggings, there are some really great similar options available including this Target pair. I only order my Spanx when they're on sale for around $60 so that always helps swallow that pill, but if you still want a greater deal check out some other similar options I've linked below.
