I've been trying to incorporate leggings as lounge wear and under shorter dresses/longer tunics. I'd always assumed they would be more comfortable than jeans, but so far, any pair that doesn't strangle my waist is wrinkly/baggy in the legs, especially knees and calves. I'm a curvy hourglass, so it's not like my waist is disproportionately large, and I never thought of my legs as especially skinny.

Does anyone else have this problem? Or am I just unusually sensitive to the feel of an elastic band around my waist?
