Live In High Waist 7/8 Leggings

The plus size full length live in leggings have been out of stock forever (despite being popular with thousands of reviews), and then they launched these. The live in leggings are one of the only pairs I’ve been able to find that don’t roll down when working out or hiking. The other Zella leggings don’t fit the same and slide down when you move. JUST BRING BACK THE REGULAR LEGNTH PLUS SIZE LIVE IN LEGGINGS!! I’m 5’7 with muscular legs and an hourglass shape. I really wanted to like these since they stopped making the regular ones. I have 7/8 leggings in other brands, but these are cut at a really weird spot on my leg that is very unflattering. It’s more like a capri that is slightly too long vs a 7/8 cut. The length is awkward and looks like a mistake. Like the other review mentioned, I also wish it also tapered in more.

I’ve been wearing this brand for years, and they’ve always been my go-to leggings, so this was incredibly disappointing. The quality and workmanship have changed tremendously. The material is completely different—it almost feels like recyclable paper instead of the soft, substantial fabric I was used to. I even washed them hoping they would soften up, but they still didn’t feel comfortable against my skin. The material is noticeably thinner, and when stretched it becomes slightly sheer. It’s not see-through, but it’s a noticeable difference from previous pairs. The overall look, feel, and quality just aren’t the same. Unfortunately, this pair will be going back. It’s disappointing to see such a significant decline in a product I used to recommend without hesitation.

I'm so glad they finally made these in a shorter length, HOWEVER, they don't taper off enough at the ankle, and so the material at the bottom doesn't sit flush against your leg. It looks crazy! To get around it, I pull them way up and just deal with the extra fabric but I don't think it's worth it.

Amazing if you like the regular live in leggings but need them in a shorter length. I am 5’4 and they hit me perfectly at the ankle. Please never stop carrying the live in line, they’re the absolute GOAT.
