I wanted to like these so much but the fabric is very thick which makes it very hot!! Its also very restrictive fabric, hard to feel free and move in. The fabric does smooth out any trouble areas but at a cost for comfort and breathability. Sad! I would purchase these again in a lighter weight fabric.

I've always loved the look of leggings on thin to average size women, but didn't think I could pull off "the look" because I am plus sized. Decided to give it a go, knowing Nordstrom has a super easy return policy. I paired the leggings with tall black boots, a long top and sweater and I love it all! I ended up ordering two more pair! (My two cents: to each their own, but I'm a firm believer that leggings are not pants! And no matter ones size, the top or sweater should cover ones lady parts).

Yes, you might hesitate to buy these to wear to the gym, but these are the best leggings ever. First, they do have a high rise, which goes a long way toward hiding bumps and bulges and keeping everything from bouncing around (speaking of, can we get some awesome sports bras from this line?!). Secondly, the fabric is super soft and feels amazing. Finally, these actually are way more flattering than you might think. Try them with a longer top and you might just be surprised! Also, I'd like to add that I wear these way more than just to the gym - they've quickly become an everyday favorite, and they wash well (I hang them to dry).

I tried to give them five stars but I couldnt get the last one filled in. I love them. I have ALS and can't dress myself. I still want to look as good as I can. Now I can be in style and my caregiver can get them on me easily! Thanks! Carol

wow. these babies are slimming, comfortable, and best of all completely opaque. I bought a pair of these for the first time this year, and holy smokes the quality of these blows me out of the water. Perfect length to be worn on my true waist, and opaque enough to make me comfortable to show off the booty. the fit is true to size mostly, but a little big. but i'm inbetween sizes right now, so who can say. Perfectly thick and warm, great for winter every day wear when putting on jeans is just too much, can I get an amen ladies?

I absolutely LOVE these Zella leggings. I have them in 5 other colors and styles. They don't slide down, which is a problem I frequently have with other leggings. The thick, high rise band is perfect to wear under anything to smooth out your stomach. The material is thicker so they don't show all the bumps in your legs, and it shapes your body at the same time. They're sturdy so they last a long time. Very versatile, I wear them everywhere (but most perfect for working out)!
