Must Have!

These leggings are thee best in class! I own about 20 different pair of these. Love the high waist and it helps hold everything in place. They NEVER roll down even when working out. Honestly, my first two pair of Zellas I washed over 50 times and they still look great! Not much fade or loss of fit. Worth every penny! (I am a plus size woman btw 16-18)

Thinner than they used to be!

I love Zella Leggings, but these are THIN. I'm not sure what changed, but my old ones are still perfect and these are headed back.

Love, love, love.

Zella leggings are my go to. I normally wear a 3x but sometimes a 2x. Leggings are one of those garments that really need to be excellent quality to size down, and these are, hands down great quality. I can order them in 3x for a comfort fit, and in a 2x for more of a compression fit, and both hold up very well to wear and washing, love zella leggings!

Very nice staple legging

I'm about 230lbs, 5'7", pear shaped and normally wear a 16-18 and I ordered these in a 2x and they fit really nice. You can feel the compression but it's not restrictive. I would say they are definitely opaque, even with some bending. They are a little long and caused a little bunching of the fabric at the backs of my knees and inner thigh area. Perhaps I could've sized down...? I havent worked out with them yet so I'm not sure of the waist band staying power. (Purchased during the anniversary sale) Otherwise very comfortable and I really like these!

PLEASE BRING BACK BLACK

These leggings are my everyday uniform as a plus size stay at home mom. They’re opaque, just the right amount of stretch to be comfortable and flattering, and hold up well for someone who is up and down constantly. I’ve been wearing them since 2018 and have bought multiple pairs every year since then. You stopped carrying them last year and it’s great that they are back in colors, but please please please bring BLACK back into stock!!

Love them but why the design change?

I've been wearing Zella Live In High Waist leggings for the past several years and love them. I literally LIVE IN THEM. Recently I bought some new pairs since mine were starting to show wear after about a 1000 washings and runs through the dryer. The fit and fabric on the new paris are still excellent BUT they now have a seam down the outside of the leg. I have pairs from a few years ago with only an inside leg seam, the outside of the legs is smooth and seam-free. I wish they still made them this way! Still an excelloent legging but I miss the old design, hence only 4 stars.
