We did notice, however, that because of the high level of support, they did restrict some of the bigger movements, like running or jumping. The waistband hugged our bellies, while the fabric also supported our thighs. On top of that, the sweat-wicking material didn’t hold onto odor and kept it rather fresh throughout a workout.Ĭompared to other plus-size leggings we’ve tried, this one was much more dense, but it still felt soft. Because of how thick and sturdy it was, the fabric never showed any signs of wear and tear, even after vigorous exercise and multiple rounds through the washer. We’re talking full-coverage no matter if we squatted, stretched, or held them up against the sun. The best part of these leggings? They’re completely opaque. What We Don’t Love: They’re a little stiff and therefore restrictive on our movements. What We Love: The material is very thick and durable, providing good support on the legs and waist. Opting to hand wash and avoiding the dryer will maintain the condition even better.Ĭolors: 18 | Material: Nylon, spandex | Size: XS–2XL | Rise: Mid It was nothing that bothered us, but it’s something to keep in mind if you want to maintain the original shape. After throwing it in the wash, we noticed the pants shrunk ever so slightly, particularly around the flare. The band also never rolled down or pinched our tummies.
AERIE LEGGINGS FLARE FULL
Once there, we were able to engage in our full range of motion, thanks to the flexibility of the material. This allowed us to hit the gym without a bag by just slipping our phone, keys, and extra cash into the side slits. On top of impressing us with the quality, we particularly loved the V-shaped waistband that looked extremely flattering on us, as well as the deep side pockets found on either side of the pants. We found these leggings to be pleasantly thick, stretchy, and opaque, passing our squat test with flying colors (or should we say, no colors), but it did give away to some panty lines, if we ever wore anything other than a thong. These yoga pants feel and look more expensive than they actually are. What We Don’t Love: They shrink a little from the wash. What We Love: They are opaque and stretchy, allowing us to engage in our full range of motion comfortably.
AERIE LEGGINGS FLARE FREE
Luckily, Lululemon offers free hemming, no receipt or tags required, so that everyone may enjoy their pristine pants.Ĭolors: 5 | Material: Nylon, lycra elastane | Size: 0-20 | Rise: High On the other side of the coin, our petite ladies might find the hem slightly too long. We found them gracefully draping all the way down into a beautiful flare. And for our long-legged ladies, you’ll be happy to hear that these pants don’t awkwardly cut at your ankles. We never needed to adjust the pants, pulling up a too loose waistband or picking a pair that was too tight - they perfectly hugged our bodies as leggings should.
We also noticed zero signs of sheerness, nor sagging, bunching, or rolling. Areas of high-friction, like the knees, showed no signs of wear and tear, even after weeks of consistently wearing them, washing them, and engaging in high-intensity training.
It was evident how top-quality these leggings were, given that they never tore, pilled, ripped, thinned, or caused chafing on our skin. We almost debated sleeping in them, but in the end, we felt we were taking it a bit too far and decided against it (but we still think you could). We found ourselves basically unwilling to take these leggings off for nearly everything - the buttery soft, split-flare leggings accompanied us to the gym, the grocery store, to see friends, to dance, and to lounge around the house.
We didn’t expect to be as blown away by these Lululemon leggings as we were. What We Don’t Love: They are a bit too long for shorter girls. What We Love: Even with consistent wear, these pants remained in top-notch shape, never stretching, pilling, or losing its softness.
