I've tried many different leggings and these are easily my favorite. They have a slightly higher yoga waist (though there is a higher waist version as well), which results in a very comfortable and covered fit (as opposed to thin waist bands on other leggings that dig in and are uncomfortable /create bulges in the skin). They're also slightly thicker which results in fewer underwear lines without being overly warm. I do prefer the various patterned versions to the solid colors (patterns also help prevent lines), but I have one black capri version which I like as much as the three patterned full length versions I have. The full length versions can also be easily shortened into capri's by folding over the lower portion (google it!), which has made them even more versatile. I wear my all the time throughout the year!
Based on the thousands of positive reviews, I ordered these leggings. Perfect fit and fabric. These will become a wardrobe staple -- I'm ordering another pair.
This was my first Zella purchase, and I absolutely love them! The quality is there, super comfortable, and they fit true to size. Most importantly they pass the "see through test", I can confidently bend over and not worry about *anything* showing through! ;)
