I know these are much loved leggings per the reviews, however I didn't love them at all. I don't like the fabric, to me I feel like it's binding and doesn't breathe well at all for athletic wear. If you're sweating, it doesn't dry quick. I'm a size 10, I bought a L -- so on the smaller side of size large, in fact the waist was large on me and the calves felt tight. I am hourglass shaped. I pretty much hate them. They wear like pantyhose on me, shifting up and down. I regret not returning them.
This product was just what I was expecting it to be! These have a great snug fit that holds everything in. I didn't realize when I ordered that these are reversible but I was very excited when I learned they were. I am short and ordered the regular so they are a bit long but that is the fit I prefer for leggings. If you shorter like me and want them to fit right at the ankle rather than below, I suggest ordering the petite. As always Nordstrom shipped them quickly and customer service was top notch!
I love these Zella leggings!! To be honest, I only bought them because my Lulu's got a hole in them ( and overall just really detiororated overtime and weren't okay to wear) and I saw these at the anniversary sale and wanted a quick replacement. But I loooove this material - they're just thin enough to be able to breathe but thick enough to feel tight and look great. The sizing was perfect, the price was lower than any upscale leggings I've ever seen - just overall so impressed.
