Live In High Waist Leggings

The leggings I received during the anniversary sale are not the same as the normal Live In Leggings. They even have a specific tag. These ones: -Do not have the "X" on the back waistband -Are not squat proof. The material is thick, and downright baggy around my hips, but when stretched turns see through. -Are made of a material that more closely resembles a cheap cotton. Not at all buttery soft. -Are tight on my legs and too big around my waist/hips. Mostly because the fabric isn't really stretchy. -Have the tag number NR348968MI which a Google search shows corresponds to the lesser quality Nordstrom rack $20 zella leggings. At first I thought I'd received the wrong thing altogether, but customer service confirmed it's just the "new" style.

I just purchased (3) of the Zella Live-In Leggings - (2) in black and (1) in Navy. I already owned a few pairs, and the pairs I own have the "X" stitched into the back above the butt. I ordered this style because the images showed the same "X" stitching. I got the three pairs of pants, and only one of the have the "X" stitching. I don't get it - they are ALL the same style, brand, etc. Even if that "X" stitch style were specific to color, you'd expect to see the same style on both black leggings - not just one. I'll keep them because I needed the leggings, but this is poor form Nordstrom. I'm a long time customer and I expect consistency and quality from this company. This is really bad business practice. Only post images of what you sell, and whether a customer buys 2-100+ of the same x-item, they should ALL be uniform.

I only bought this particular color because I thought Zella finally went back to its original Live In style. The original has a stitched X on the back and the brand logo says Zella (which is what the photos show on the website). So I happily purchased. What arrived was the legging without the X and with a circular Zella logo. This “new” style of Live In is definitely subpar to the original. I feel duped. Please use the correct photos when selling products.

I’ve had these for almost a year now and I cannot day enough good things! I live in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, and I mostly do outdoor activities in these. I rock climb, hike 14’ers, scramble over ridges, run trails, and more in these and I they never fail. They’re never too hot, they truly do swick sweat away. And NEVER ride down, 12 mile hikes and I don’t have to pull them up once. They’re better than my Lululemon Wunder Under leggings, and they constantly go on sale so you can get them for a great deal. Personally I sized down to an XS, I’m 5’3” and 120 lb and usually wear a small

I was so excited to try these as a Lulu Lemon alternative since the reviews recommended them. After washing them before wearing it, I was so distraught to find them significantly covered in lint. They also fit a little too snug. I’m 5”4 around 115 lbs, so I ordered an XS, and they are uncomfortably tight. I will be returning them tomorrow and purchasing my Lulu Lemons.

These leggings are a little compressing and are not see through. The material is comfortable. Overall I think they are a lot like other leggings you can get for a better price.

When I saw these in the anniversary sale, I thought I would buy them and give them a shot. I am soo happy I did because I could wear these every day for the rest of my life! These leggings are super comfortable and have the perfect amount of stretch. I may need to buy a few more pairs. For reference, I’m 5’7” and weigh approximately 145lbs and bought these in size small.

So bummed. I have been wearing Zella for years as a more affordable quality legging compared to Lululemon. I have had two pairs of the Zella high waisted leggings that I have been wearing for years and still do. Just wanted add another to my wardrobe and became discouraged with the recent negative reviews. I went ahead and ordered during the last Anniversary sale. They fit true to size for me, but then after one use there was a big hole. I was just hoping that I would have a different experience than some recent reviewers. Now I bummed that I should go back to the more expensive Lululemons or another brand.

Unfortunately, after owning these for just a few months the knees but my 7 yr old pair of the same leggings are still in perfect condition. They must have changed the material. I suppose I will go back to my other favorite brand. Bummer.

I have lived in Zella Live in high waisted leggings for years. The new manufacturing is terrible. Cheap! The waist is I’ll fitting and doesn’t stay up. The leggings are thin and cheap. The fabric is so different from the previous fabric. Everything is wrong. Don’t buy!

Perfect for all my workouts. No-show when I bend over and it keeps everything in place (including my butt)

Did Zella go skimpy with quality? I swear these are different than the pair I bought 2-3 years ago and fell in love with! I used to pay over $80 for my faves and now these though better priced are just BLAH! Please Zella bring back the older version!!
