I'm probably one of few who were disappointed in these leggings but they just didn't work for me. They are a very thick material which I'm not a fan of. Also, I am short and the waistline kept rolling down because the waistband was too tall for my short frame.
I have been training for a half marathon for a few months and I have also been working on losing weight for over 6 months. So I have been working out intensely, running a ton, and have lost about 20 pounds. Needless to say, most of my leggings that I have bought from TJMaxx or Marshall's (that were cute for regular gym working out) have been riding down, falling off, and giving me really horrific camel toe over the course of this process.
I have learned my lesson. I invested in a pair of these leggings from Zella because I had heard great things - I hadn't thought that there would be such a HUGE difference between these leggings and the ones I had bought from discount stores and Nike.
Oh my lord. These leggings STAY IN PLACE. Ok, they are comfortable for regular life. Absolutely. And the sheen on them doesn't scream "work out pants" so you can wear them for everyday. But as a work out/running legging they are my new standard. I am amazing and a Zella convert! They do NOT budge. Even during an 8 mile jog/run/walk they stayed where they were. Amazing. So in love.
For sizing: I am about 5'6" and 155lb - I fit into a medium perfectly!
So comfortable and such a great high waist fit. I have owned these for over a year and just bought some new ones in Navy. I never realized they were reversible since I bought them in the store! Really, how does anyone live without these?! I bought some for my daughter and she is now hooked, too! The only negative is that they really are long.
