In my opinion, my muffin top is just a little bit more of me to love--but in reality, there are times when I want just a slightly smoother midsection. Like when I buy a cute new top but the material is thin. (Ugh, why do they make tops so thin these days?! That's another post.) In those scenarios, I always wish I had bottoms that were more control top--but without feeling control top. Can I please breathe but also have a flatter tummy? Yes, we/I can! I internet sleuthed until I found the perfect pair.
What are they?
The answer are these Aday Throw It Higher leggings. We found them via Who What Wear, where the product team from Aday revealed exactly how these perfect anti-muffin top leggings are made. “We’ve taken our sculpting fabric from its sister style, the Throw & Roll Leggings, and made it longer over the hips to smooth and support the upper body,."
They're also moisture-wicking, quick drying, UV protecting and come with pockets. They're like your dream workout leggings you've been waiting for! They will set you back a cool $135--but as the brand pointed out, these super-flattering high-waisted leggings can "easily replace five other pairs in your wardrobe,” so they're actually a good deal.
