lululemon reddit mirror

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
