Athleta's zip up, so lay flat.

Too compression tights feeling for me.</p> <p>The thing that makes me a bit mad at myself is that I ordered them even though I suspected that would be the case. FOMO really got me on this one, folks. Red face! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-about-those-zella-leggings#post-2049598 Thu, 01 Aug 2019 13:12:38 +0000 Peri 2049598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the input. I'm not sure they are for me but I went ahead and ordered them because it was really going to bother me until I knew! Typical for me, many years after they were solidly in style is when I decide to try leggings. I did go for the ones without pockets...I hadn't seen that was an option at first. Definitely don't need pockets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-about-those-zella-leggings#post-2049551 Thu, 01 Aug 2019 09:27:19 +0000 Staysfit 2049551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have four pair of Zella leggings. The high waist are great. They do cinch in the waist but not too tightly. They are super comfy. If more were available in my size at the sale in a style I need I would snap them up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-about-those-zella-leggings#post-2049530 Thu, 01 Aug 2019 04:32:41 +0000 Zoelicious 2049530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I have about 10-12 pairs of Zella leggings in different patterns and styles that I've collected over the years to wear for hot yoga. They're the only brand of leggings that I'll wear to exercise.&nbsp; <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Like featherwitch said, they wash very well, never fade, and no odors. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>This year's black fabric is REALLY good.&nbsp; For the past couple of years, the black color has been a little "stiff", for lack of a better word - not as stretchy and soft. The high waist is great so you don't get the roll down as the day goes by.&nbsp; I also have the regular waist ones and those tend to roll down as I yoga. I have a bit of a tummy and don't feel any compression around my middle.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>This year I bought both the black full length high waist and the 7/8th with pockets. The pockets gape out and don't lie flat against the leg and it bothers me, so those are going back. <br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-about-those-zella-leggings#post-2049475 Thu, 01 Aug 2019 00:53:40 +0000 featherwitch 2049475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them too, I have about 3 or 4 maybe? I haven't counted lately. I have several different styles and colors.&nbsp;</p> <p>The construction is top-notch, the fabric is high-quality, and they wash very well in warm water, and they don't retain odors (I don't put them in the dryer).&nbsp;</p> <p>They also don't show all of the little lumps and bumps, if you know what I mean. I would be comfortable wearing them in public if I had to.&nbsp;</p> <p>Zella also makes a size that fits me; Lululemon does not.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-about-those-zella-leggings#post-2049437 Wed, 31 Jul 2019 21:42:13 +0000 tammyw 2049437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For those who run hot, like I do, I buy (and love) the Zella crop lite version to workout in. They are so good! I’m going to buy a second pair before the anniversary sale ends because I’m at the gym 5-6 days a week and I now pretty much only wear these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-about-those-zella-leggings#post-2049427 Wed, 31 Jul 2019 21:06:13 +0000 K. Period. 2049427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't ever wear athletic leggings (I work out in shorts because *hot*), but I bought a pair last week because they are that shockingly flattering and comfortable. I tried them on on a whim and they looked so good that I couldn't not take them home with me. They a really well cut with great fabric.&nbsp; I bought them in my normal size (not sized up like with most athletic gear) and I think they are very comfortable because the waist band seems to ease as it moves up the belly. Nonetheless, from my perspective, with free returns it makes sense to buy them in your normal size and a size up to see how they feel.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-about-those-zella-leggings#post-2049377 Wed, 31 Jul 2019 19:17:51 +0000 Anonymous 2049377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Been wondering about them too! Thanks </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-about-those-zella-leggings#post-2049371 Wed, 31 Jul 2019 19:00:20 +0000 Gretchen 2049371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them! Agree that the coverage is good, and I find that the compression is actually stronger in the legs than in the waist - maybe b/c they assumer we're going to need to move more? I just bought the pair you linked at NAS, as well as the Hi rise without pockets. The pair with pockets are "7/8" length, which I preferred. The longer ones are almost too long on me. TTS on both, and this brand wears really well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-about-those-zella-leggings#post-2049324 Wed, 31 Jul 2019 17:14:06 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2049324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are great. I don’t have exactly those, but have had Zella yoga pants for years. I should probably ditch them because I got a hole in them when I did this to my knee, but can’t bring myself to until I find a replacement. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-about-those-zella-leggings#post-2049318 Wed, 31 Jul 2019 17:05:12 +0000 kkards 2049318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i have a pair from a couple of years ago...they hold up really well...that being said, these are made for fitness wear and so they do have compression...but worth trying... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-about-those-zella-leggings#post-2049315 Wed, 31 Jul 2019 17:02:01 +0000 Suz 2049315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just bought a pair. I also have a pair of the medium rise ones which have worked well for me. I don't much like wearing leggings of any kind and only wear for exercise so I'm not sure I can comment about how they are around the house or for errands. The fabrication is a bit different from Lulu's. But it's substantial and somewhat compressive, yes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-about-those-zella-leggings#post-2049298 Wed, 31 Jul 2019 16:39:32 +0000 Angie 2049298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>THEY ARE THE BEST. I echo <b>Pretty Pear.&nbsp;</b></p> <p>Zella's high waisted leggings are the only ones I wear for hot vinyasa class because they stay put and contour the body. The compression is not severe. I've tried them all, and Zella is by far the best - but only in the HIGH waist silhouette. I size down a size, but perhaps you shouldn't. They are thick but that does not bother me for hot yoga. I'm going to drip with sweat anyway </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-about-those-zella-leggings#post-2049285 Wed, 31 Jul 2019 16:17:02 +0000 Preppy Pear 2049285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have tried them on a few times and I think they are very flattering and high quality - worth the price even not at NAS. I think they are fairly compressive, but as a pear I didn’t feel it as much in the waist as I did in my rear. </p> <p>I haven’t bought them because they are thicker than I prefer. I do hot yoga and other hot classes, and I only wear them for exercise, so I prefer thinner leggings. Basically I want them to be as thin as possible without being see-through. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-about-those-zella-leggings#post-2049268 Wed, 31 Jul 2019 15:51:55 +0000 Peri 2049268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They seem to get a lot of attention. Some of the reviews compare them to a Lululemon pair they say is better, but these are definitely less $. I'm not a huge leggings wearer but wanted to try a pair for home and possibly casual errands or such. How do these fit at the waist? I'm wondering if high waist would feel like control top tights? I'm an apple and hate things compressing my stomach...actually gives me heartburn! </p>
