A women’s health writer shares their experience with the Left on Friday Super Moves Tight leggings, and after three months of testing, they’ve become a new go-to for workouts, lounging, and travel. Founded in 2017 by former lululemon product team leads, Left on Friday quickly expanded from swimwear into high-quality activewear.
Testing Methodology
The leggings were worn for a variety of activities over three months, including Pilates, weightlifting, treadmill workouts, work-from-home days, and long travel days. The goal was to assess their performance in both high-impact and low-impact settings.
The “Goldilocks” Fit
These leggings strike a balance between compression and comfort, using a nylon-lycra blend that feels supportive yet flexible. They’re not as brushed as Beyond Yoga leggings, but also not as shiny as Lululemon’s Align pants. They offer a comfortable fit for both workouts and casual wear.
Compression Level
While these leggings provide a snug fit, they don’t offer the same high level of compression as some other brands, like Lululemon. However, this makes them ideal for beginners or those who want an everyday pair that can also be worn for errands or relaxation.
Style and Fit Details
The Super Moves Tight features a high 10-inch rise and a 25-inch inseam that hits just above the ankle on a 5’10” frame. They fit true to size, but sizing down could provide a more compressive fit. A hidden back pocket stores essentials, and flat seams prevent chafing. The side seams create a flattering shape. They come in over 20 colors, including neutrals and vibrant options. The fabric passes the squat test, with no see-through issues.
Durability and Care
After three months of consistent use and machine washing, the leggings show no signs of pilling or wear. The manufacturer recommends washing in cold water with activewear or delicates and hanging to dry for maximum longevity.
Final Verdict
At $120, these leggings are an investment, but they deliver on comfort and versatility. They’re an excellent choice for those who want a reliable pair for everyday wear, workouts, and travel. While not as compressive as some high-performance options, they strike the right balance for many users.
These leggings have quickly become a go-to for a reason: they’re comfortable, flattering, and durable enough to stand up to consistent use.
