So im getting lululemon leggings for the first time since im a runner and my thighs touch, my aerie leggings pill quickly especially after being washed and for people who have tried both lululemon align or wunder train and the aerie offline real me leggings, im wondering if the fit is the same. For me, aerie leggings are pretty stretchy and i get medium which is sized down for me, so it compresses a lot on the waistband area but i can still move easily because of the light material. I wear size 10 in the define jacket which is a little big for me, so im planning to get a size 8 so that it feels supported like the aerie leggings but im not sure if it will be too tight or not stretchy enough if i size down. Should i stick with size 10 or size down to 8 or maybe even 6? Also im 5’4”, would 23” or 25” be better if i want the length to be about at my ankles? If anyone could help it would be much appreciated
Aligns are not meant for running and the fabric pills really easily, especially if your thighs touch. Also, I do not recommend sizing down for more compression with aligns because that puts a lot of pressure on the fabric and ruins the longevity of it, and makes them pill really easily. Aligns are not meant to be compression leggings, but many people make that mistake and wonder why they don’t last long.
Wunder trains will give you a lot of compression, and I actually find they fit true to size or smaller, so many guests and educators alike will size up to get a good fit. If you have curves, they come in a contour fit to help give more room in the thighs which also helps with longevity and staying in place. They’re a good option for running but there are a couple leggings from lulu that are specifically designed for running that might work better.

Swift speed. These have the compression you want, and are made with luxtreme fabric that is incredibly resistant. And they have a ton of features such as pockets so you don’t have to buy other accessories to hold your phone and keys during runs.

Fast and free. These are very lightweight and I find they’re quite compressive but not everyone does. I don’t have much experience with them but they are really nice and very resistant so you don’t have to worry about piling.

For running I’d recommend the Fast & Free’s or the Swift Speed’s which actually just went on sale. Maybe try a size 8, but can’t tell with the info you provided.
I’m 5’3” and the 25” goes to my ankles on Wunder train’s and sometimes it’s a little loose at the bottom. 23” will go right above your ankle. If you click on my profile I just posted a pic of me in 23” aligns for reference.
I also recommend those two. Swift Speeds if you prefer high compression.
Measure your inseam to get the best idea of what length you should get.
Agreed to check your inseam, as overall height isn’t a good measure as everyone’s leg to torso ratio is different.
