Bought two pair two years ago, and I never wear them. I find the thick fabric to be super hot, I fee like it makes me ten degrees warmer. The higher waistsband everyone raves about hits me in a funny place and also sort of rolls down when I bend down. I felt like I kept having to hitch up the waistband. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zella-leggings#post-2762205 Wed, 26 Jul 2017 20:36:58 +0000 Beth24 2762205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pretty much only wear Zella because they maintain their shape (I had so many other brands that got saggy in the legs or butt), high waist is great for hiding extra baby weight, not see thru at all, and they look great after many washes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zella-leggings#post-2761775 Tue, 25 Jul 2017 18:41:42 +0000 ksnow 2761775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nice compression and thick waistband, so flattering. I buy at anniversary sale. They hold up great. I've had several pais<br /> since 2010. I bought new ones this year just because I wanted a new lenvth/style but they're still in great shape. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zella-leggings#post-2761774 Tue, 25 Jul 2017 18:35:19 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2761774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: could you have gotten these by mistake?

I just ordered some a few days ago too. I read they're good as athleisure or not. I assumed they then wouldn't be shiny. I was gonna just get Hue and maybe I should have.

Just better quality and thicker, so that makes them more flattering I think. Also I have some pairs that are years old and there's absolutely no pilling. They look like new after every wash. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zella-leggings#post-2761520 Tue, 25 Jul 2017 10:04:23 +0000 Mamaof2 2761520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsLonghorn: that's what I bought and they are shiny </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zella-leggings#post-2761519 Tue, 25 Jul 2017 10:01:32 +0000 MrsLonghorn 2761519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>interesting - I feel like my zella leggings aren't shiny at all, which is what I love about them.

I had been wearing pretty cheap ones before I bought zellas so I was impressed at how they are thick, they tuck in everything and are more flattering than my old leggings, and they hold up well over time. My old ones were just cheap cotton ones from Old Navy though, so for me the zellas were definitely an upgrade. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zella-leggings#post-2761488 Tue, 25 Jul 2017 08:57:27 +0000 Portboston 2761488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Basically from what I understand, the head designer for Zella was previously with lululemon. So lulu fans who don't want to spend lulu money are into them for that reason. </p> <p>I personally have a pair that isn't shiny (don't look like workout wear) so they're great leggings and super thick/not see through! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zella-leggings#post-2761479 Tue, 25 Jul 2017 08:40:39 +0000 skinnycow 2761479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love them! They are meant to be workout pants but I wear them as normal leggings also.</p> <p>I like that they're high-waisted and suck everything in. They also hold up really well. I have two pairs and they have both been washed many, many times because I wear them multiple times per week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zella-leggings#post-2761472 Tue, 25 Jul 2017 08:33:01 +0000 Caly 2761472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: I just ordered some the other day and am hoping they live up to the hype! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zella-leggings#post-2761471 Tue, 25 Jul 2017 08:32:21 +0000 Mamaof2 2761471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@808love: yeah I can see them being durable!</p> <p>@rachiecakes: I only paid $25 so that's good (sale plus a coupon I had) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zella-leggings#post-2761468 Tue, 25 Jul 2017 08:30:51 +0000 rachiecakes 2761468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the waistband and the fabric. And I will say they hold up after many, many washes.<br /> I try to get them on sale though :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zella-leggings#post-2761465 Tue, 25 Jul 2017 08:28:55 +0000 808love 2761465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just bought them for the first time (anniversary sale) and wore them two days. Yep, they are regular leggings. Perhaps a bit more durable? Felt great working out with them though. (I did agility workouts.)I liked that they went alll the way down to my ankles and all the way up on my stomach. I also like them bc the price was decent and I wanted some leggings that went all the way down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zella-leggings#post-2761463 Tue, 25 Jul 2017 08:23:43 +0000 Mamaof2 2761463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What's so great about these?</p> <p>I bought some and got them yesterday and first off they are shiny so they seem like work out pants and second they weren't any better/worse than all my other leggings.</p> <p>So if you own them why do you LOVE them? I feel like I bought into the hype =(</p> <p>ETA: just looked them up and realized they ARE work out pants - haha - guess I didn't know that when I bought them </p>
