Giveaway Time: Oiselle Lesley Knicker
This weekend I ran my first sub-2 hour half marathon in St. Louis! While I'm sure you are waiting with baited breath for my race recap, I'm throwing in something even more fun first: a giveaway. I'm thrilled to share one of my favorite running items of all time, the Lesley Knicker, with one lucky reader.
Two items really grabbed my attention when I first heard of Oiselle, and this is one of them. (For those curious, the other is the Distance short.) Although the Lesley Knicker has changed a bit over the past couple of years, I can honestly say the current version is my favorite for two reasons. First, the level of compression is perfect; it doesn't ride up or down, and the fabric hugs my legs just like I want it to without feeling confining. Second, the contrast stitching and/or melange fabric adds flattering long lines to the legs and bum. Add those details to the flat drawstring that never comes untied, mesh at the knees, and the nice size back pocket that fits my phone or gels, and you have a rockin' run capri for chilly temps.
A few more details.
Length: Just below the knee.
Fabric: Stretchy but still compressive.
Drawstring: Flat, ties at front. I prefer this to the elastic-y ones that go all the way through because it doesn't stretch out with wear.
Colors: Graphite, Indigo Melange, Indigo, Black (Squid Ink at Title Nine only.)
Fit: Form-fitting, compressive. I wear the same size as I do in Roga shorts, and the size chart measurements are right on.
Pocket: One back right pocket just under the waistband. It fits my iPhone or gels.
Fun additions: Melange fabric inlays, contrast stitching, mesh at back of knees.
Lesley becomes my go to bottom for basically all workouts from November to February, but I find them great for more than just running too. I wear them for PureBarre, travel, running errands, and even work sometimes when I can get away with it. I love pairing my knickers with the longer Boatneck sweatshirt and a tank for a casual day.
Now that you've heard all about it, enter to win your very own Lesley Knicker courtesy of Oiselle! The giveaway begins today, October 30, and I'll choose the winner on Wednesday, November 6.

I think I'd go with the Squid ink!
ReplyDeleteI'd probably get Graphite. I admit, I'm kind of boring when it comes to my running bottoms!
ReplyDeleteOMG, congratulations on the sub-2 half marathon! I did think you had it in you :) Also - THE LESLEYS COME IN PURPLE?! I have them in blue and am now tempted to get them in 'squid ink' for a friend whose absolute favourite colour is purple.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your awesome half marathon time! I think I'd go for squid ink!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on sub 2!!! So awesome! And thanks for doing this giveaway! :) Hope you're well! I would want indigo melange since I already have black Lesley Knickers!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on yoru speedy time! I like the long Lesley tights so I've been eyeing the knickers. The squid inks are gorgeous. :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your sub-2 half!!
ReplyDeleteKinda digging the graphite! And congrats again on the PR!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your sub-2 half!
ReplyDeleteI would probably go with black or graphite - I'm kind of boring and I like my running bottoms to go with almost all of my flashy tops so I have more outfit variety.
I'd go with the indigo!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your sub-2 half. I can dream that it might happen for me some day. I know it won't be next weekend at Divas San Juan, but a girl can dream.
ReplyDeleteThanks! And you'll get there, just remember to believe! It took me a long time to figure that out. :)
DeleteOoh, I've been wanting these for a while. Looking forward to your race recap! Jealous of your sweet new PR!
ReplyDeleteAll my pants/ crops are black so I think I'd get the indigo or the graphite. Congrats on the sub-2 half!
ReplyDeleteI would go for indigo or black, I already have the graphite and LOVE them!
ReplyDeleteI think I would go indigo. for sure.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your sub-2! There must be something speedy about those knickers!
ReplyDeleteI would go for graphite since it will accommodate all of scarlet tops!! Go Bucks!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on running a sub-2 half! I *finally* did so as well just last month! Way to go!! Love Lesley knicker. Indigo is pretty!
ReplyDeleteYAY for your sub-2 also! Feel so awesome!
DeleteThe squid ink is pretty awesome, but I fear I'd never have a matching top.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely black - and way to break the 2-hr barrier! Huge accomplishment and I'm so happy for you!!
ReplyDeleteI'd go with classic black.
ReplyDeleteYep, I'm commenting in order to enter the contest... ;-) I'm a "black only" capri person, since I've seen some, um, unflattering sweat marks on other colors, but the indigo seems to have potential. Hmmm.
ReplyDeleteI like graphite Congrats on the sub-2:00!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your sub-2:00!! That's a huge goal of mine!
ReplyDeleteI would definitely get the indigo melange! I have no crops in that color and they looks super comfy. If I don't win, I may just have to splurge!
I'd definitely go with either classic black or the indigo color. Love the Leslie!
ReplyDeleteGraphite! Congrats on the Sub 2 - that's amazing!
ReplyDeleteI have an old pair in indigo bought at a sample sale. They're my go-to tights for when the weather is chilly but not too cold. I adore the squid ink, but probably would get black.
ReplyDeleteThis is actually one of the few Oiselle items I have not tried yet. I think I would like to try the black or indigo the most. Black because it matches everything. Congrats on a sub 2 hour. That is a huge goal!
ReplyDeleteI like the indigo color. Congrats on a sub 2hr half. Very impressive!
ReplyDeleteI'm a huge fan of the Lesley Knickers also!! Congrats on your race - can't wait to see the recap!
ReplyDeleteEEE congrats! So excited for you! I like the Indigo Melange!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win these, thanks for hosting the giveaway. And congrats on your first sub two, what a massive achievement!!! SO exciting.
ReplyDeleteLove the Lesley :) :)
ReplyDeleteCONGRATs on a sub 2 HM, that's awesome! I've never worn Oiselle anything, but I always wear capris (knicker sytle)! Fingers crossed, hoping I win!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to read your recap!! Congrats on the sub 2!! <3
ReplyDeleteHope I win :) I have been thinking about getting some new running capris'!! these Lesley knickers sound great. the indigo mélange look pretty fun.
Yes I think you'd love them - I adore the melange accents.
DeleteThe Indigo or the Graphite...
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the Leslie Knicker! Would love to add a graphite one to my collection :)
ReplyDeleteI'd go for basic black. And congrats!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteCongrats on the sub-2! I'd pick graphite. :)
ReplyDeleteI have an old Lesley pair in black from the Seattle warehouse sale at headquarters. They're fraying from frequent washing, so clearly a replacement is needed -- black or graphite would be awesome!
ReplyDeleteIndigo Melange. Congrats on your sub-2!!!
ReplyDeleteI'd probably go with graphite just because they'd coordinate with most everything. Congrats on your sub-2!
ReplyDeleteThank you for telling us about the Lesley knicker! I've thought about getting these leggings and wasn't sure, but it's great to read your review.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I love that indigo color!
DeleteI am such a big fan of them - indigo is a fave!
DeleteI have a vintage Lesley Knicker which is absolutely wonderful, but wouldn't mind an update :) I'd go for the black ones to easily go from workout to everyday wear and match with whatever else I might be wearing. :)
ReplyDeleteOh snap, I've been eyeing those knickers forever! I would get black!
ReplyDeleteI like the indigo ones!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your half! And great giveaway - I love Oiselle. I'd probably go with black - I'm a "match everything" kind of girl.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Black is a great choice. :)
DeleteCongrats on the half!! Sub-2 is awesome!! I would love to try Lesley in graphite or black - a go-with-everything kind of bottom :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeletePurple?!? How fun! I run in the black ones already and can vouche that Leslie Knickers rule, love Oiselle.
ReplyDeleteI love the graphite ones! Oiselle is such a great brand :)
ReplyDeleteGood job!!
ReplyDeleteI would pick granite.
I think I would have to go with Squid, because I have every other color! Love the Lesley knickers!
ReplyDeleteI love Oiselle running clothes, they are my favs! But I don't have the Lesley knicker, just got my first pair of Rogas and love them so I am sure I would love the Lesley's
ReplyDeleteI love oiselle but haven't tried the knickers yet or any pants. Would love a pair in black!
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I think I'd go with the indigo melange to get out of my black and gray capri rut!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the sub2! I love the squid ink...very fun colors!
ReplyDeleteI only have black now, so I like the indigo, or maybe the squid ink-mainly because I like the name :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the sub-2 half! so awesome! (I would pick squid ink or black :))
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteI'd pick basic black! I've never tried Oiselle before but looking for some good capris for the cooler weather!
ReplyDeleteI've been eying these for a while. I want the graphite!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I would probably go with the indigo melange. I'd like a little variety in my pants. :)
ReplyDeleteGraphite!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the sub-2 hour half!!
ReplyDeleteI would go with the indigo melange. I just love all their melange items!
Thanks! And me too - I LOVE the melange accents!
DeleteCongrats on your PR!! What an accomplishment! I think I'd go with the graphite color or the melange.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteLove the Lesley Knicker! Would love the graphite ones!
ReplyDeleteI'd go with Graphite. Is 17 mile drive a good route to run? I'm heading to Monterey in a couple weeks and need to get in a long run. Would love to run that road if it's safe!
ReplyDeleteWe've run along 17 mile drive a couple of times, I love it. We started from the Inn at Spanish Bay (My hubby's aunt is a member) and there are a few miles with space/dirt trail on the side of the road. You just have to be careful crossing the view points because tourists are a little nutty. :) Farther down, we ran on the side of the road and it seemed fine, other people were doing it plus there are cyclists so you likely won't be alone. Do it!
Deletecute orange-pink shoes! where did you get them?
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your PR! I would go with the indigo!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely graphite!
ReplyDeleteI would pick the black ones - can't go wrong with a basic :)
ReplyDeleteOooh, graphite~!
ReplyDeleteBlack! This baby is making my ass fat so will need to hide behind a color :))
ReplyDeleteI live in leggings all winter, could always use another pair! Black or indigo for me :)
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to try Oiselle's apparel. What a great giveaway!! :)
ReplyDeletePlus, I could live in leggings. Any color- the brighter the better! For safety right? ;)
