No nonsense Stretch Denim Leggings for Women-Comfortable and Stylish Pants

nice fit and look on a large athletic woman, totally comfy. UPDATE: I accidentally fell asleep on the couch in these. I slept all night, very comfortably. I wanted to make this update because I remembered one reviewer saying that they were comfortable but she wouldn’t sleep in them. I’m a pea-intolerant princess when it comes to my bedding: tangles in the sheets under me tend to wake me up, and just forget lacy negligees. But these jeggings were great!Thank you, to all the Amazonians who gave their measurements and other details. I will do the same in hopes it will help more people. I am 5’8″, waist 29″, very wide pelvic bones with widest fleshy part of hips 39″, thigh diameter 22″. Curvy, athletic, muscular build, with big thighs from heavy lifting, running, cycling. But the clothing industry thinks that my big thighs mean that I am overweight and have a pot belly. It’s almost impossible to find pants or jeans that fit in all places without tailoring; if I can yank a pair past my massive thighs and butt, then the waist is usually 2-3 inches too big. I recently put on a few pounds of fat, so all the Size 4 jeans that I have altered are uncomfortably tight. I have been living–and running and cycling–in cotton Xhilaration tights from Target; the snake print is so darling and very flattering. Perhaps a little *too* flattering: even though I buy them in large so that they are a little roomy and my panty-lines don’t show, reg’lar ol’ tights look just this side of naked, as far as my conservative neighborhood is concerned. Searching for tights with eye-confusing patterns on them, I came across the under-advertised world of jean-style leggings. I have purchased several. If you check my other reviews you can see what I think of a variety of brands.Based on the reviews, I bought the No Nonsense Dark Denim Leggings in medium. I just love them! They have real double-stitching along the legs and around the pockets and fake fly. The back pockets are stylishly, flatteringly (and distractingly) small and low. The legs are plenty long enough to slouch a little bit around my lower calves, the lower part of the leg is just loose enough to look like real jeans rather than tights. You can’t see a panty line, even when I wear my poorly-designed Jockey For Her cotton bikinis under the leggings. They provide the camoflage that I need to look less naked in public, while…basically allowing me to be naked in public. :)The fit is sexy-tight and smooth around my thighs and butt, and just slightly creases/bunches like regular denim jeans. I really like this look, but if you don’t then you should get a size smaller than your usual and it will smooth out.On me, probably because the drop between my hips and thighs is so big, the waist is a little looser than I would prefer, resulting in a 3/4-inch gap in the back when I sit down; still, not nearly as gappy as normal jeans, and the material is thin enough that I can easily take in the waist a little. I’m sure I could get into the Small and they’d probably be comfortable, but on me they would look a lot more like tights and less like skinny denim jeans.The material is more substantial than I was expecting from leggings. Some of my real skinny denim jeans are about this weight. I can ride my bike comfortably in these, but they would also provide moderate protection on a woodland path.What would make these leggings even better? Fit-wise, since they are *leggings*, not jeans, I feel that the waist band should be smaller. Cosmetically-speaking, I don’t like the obvious sudden halt between jeans-look detailing and the old lady stretchy pants solid waistband; I can only wear these with a top that covers the waistband–what about my crop tops? I’d prefer that the contrast double stitch illusion continue into the waist band. I think at least one fake brass button on the waist band would look awesome; in fact, I think I will add one myself. Belt loops faked with stitching would perfect the look; real ones would be very useful for women with a big hips/waist drop. Just because they are stretch pants doesn’t mean that a blank waistband has to give that fact away. I wish they were available in more fades, washes, and distressing. Soon, maybe?

Feel great. As usual I am at least 10 years behind the trends and honestly, I didn’t think this old body would ever wear a pair of leggings. I always admired the tall thin ladies that show their assets off to advantage in well made leggings, but they really don’t look good on everybody. However, they don’t look worse on me than the baggy sweat pants I used to wear. My husband appreciates these whether I think they look good or not.But who cares? They are SO comfortable I am going to order another pair. I’m 5’2″ approx 120 llbs and ordered the medium. When I first put them on I thought “No way – these are WA-A-AY too tight.” But within the day they stretched out to fit everywhere and washing loosened them up a bit more.I didn’t order these to be a fashion statement in public, but the fabric is substantial enough that I do wear them out if I don’t feel like changing.They are way too long. Don’t have time to hem them so I just roll them up. Another poster did not like the back pocket. It’s one reason I selected this brand. Pocket isn’t huge, but enough. Everyone has their own preference but I don’t want pants without a pocket.Threads pull easily from cat claws, and I don’t think they’ll hold up under too much laundering. At the price, I still consider it a good value for something that fits well, feels good and looks OK.

Fabulous fit. This is my second purchase of these leggings. They fit use curvy older women wonderfully with just enough hug and stretch. I’ve received quite a few comments. Because of the stretch, if you have thighs that touch, that seam area of the pants will wear out more quickly but they held up for over a year for me and at that price that is not bad!The stretch also makes a little lightweight so you won’t want to wear them in the dead of winter. Great buy!!

Feel great on. I was just looking for a new white pair of pants for summer with a narrow leg and these are perfect they’re very comfortable. They didn’t stretch out real fast, easy wash, and looked really good on.

Loved these leggings. I wear mostly jeans because of my job, but I wanted something that fit like jeans but hugged like jeggings. These denim leggings are what I was looking for! They fit over my curves but sit on my waist just right, which is great because you cannot wear a belt with them. They stretch, but not like regular leggings, which I love. I wore them with my NY pinstripe shirt, and I loved the look!I am a size 9 1/2, 5’7″ and 146 lbs. I bought a medium and they fit perfectly. If you are, well, blessed, in the hip area, you may want to size up one.

Soft & Stretchy. I liked the material of the jeans. They were soft and stretchy but a little on the short side. I am 5 ‘ 3” and I bought the regular length. I thought that would work best for me. After I washed them one time they were too short. I suggest getting the longer ones but other than that they were very comfortable.

Finally. I have purchased so many “jeggings” or “leggings” that were supposed to fit like a legging but none of them did. These finally do!! The only problem I have with them is that they are a little long for my 5 ft. 3 in. body. I will just hem them up a little. Other than that, they are perfect. If you want jean leggings, these are the perfect ones for you. Not baggy at all.

Great Leggings for the Price. I love the feel and texture. I have to roll up which is fine because I like the look. I am 5’5 (133 lbs) and they are very long. The only negative is that they have no sewn in crotch—you will need to wear underwear. They fit sung which I like. Cute leggings—wear a long top.

Had To Return. These fit great in the waist and stomach area as I’m a bigger woman. But didn’t fit right in the legs for my height, to wide and to long.

Med wash. Very nice esp at low price, comfortable, fits well, made well. The med wash color is just a hint lighter than dark denim..almost same…But overall, a great buy.
