Great material, nice and heavy. My only complaint is that they run small and long. Very long. There is no way the inseam is 29 inches. I will have to have them shortened ( I'm a little over 5'4"). Definitely a great price compared to athleta and lulu....and an even better price at the anniversary sale.
Pro: - Fabric is thick, it covers well unlike some leggings I own that is somewhat see through on the upper legs due to less fabric stretch - Reversible, both sides look great - Versatile: can be worn to exercise or out and about with ankle/tall boots
Con: - Fabric not very stretchy, I'm 5'4" 130lbs and I feel like it's a little tight on my upper legs - I'm hoping they get more comfortable as I wear and wash them more. I'm wondering if I should have ordered a size up (M) - The length is too long, I'm 5'4" and some fabric bunch up on my ankle
Overall, still superb quality company to many leggings (athletic+others) I own. It's also versatile, which is what I like most about it.
I bought my first pair of Zella Live In leggings during the anniversary sale last year and have ended up with a collection of 3-4 pair. These leggings are high-waisted enough to flatten your tummy, opaque enough to wear out with a longer top. Since these are technically athletic pants I find that they are not too warm to wear in the summer. They also hold their shape very well and I find that I can wear them a few times between washes without stretching out or getting saggy in the knees or butt.
I am typically a size 10-12 and a medium in the Zella Live In Leggings fits perfectly.
The price is steep but they're great quality leggings that are very comfortable. Splurge if you can or wait for a sale to come around - they've been down to $32 the last 2 anniversary sales :)

Zellas are best leggings ever!

Fit is perfect. Have a bit of compression. .so they feel good and look good. I Just had a baby and it's hard to feel good in what I wear..Zella leggings give me the comfort and smoothness I need in my hips. I was also able to wear my Zellas until I was 6 months pregnant! I wear these with almost everything and I always get compliments. .but moreso..I always feel more confident in my Zellas than any of my other leggings. I just wish they had more solid color options..they are a great value and worth every penny! Love my Zellas!
