It's All About the Seam! (and Fabric Weight)

The very first pair of adult black leggings I ever bought about 8 years ago had a front center raised seam sewn in, like my old Danskins used to when I was a kid. Never though much of it until leggings really became popular and I bought a couple other basic black pairs that were more expensive to wear out and to work. Soon I realized that something was missing, the fabric was too clingy, too thin, but most of all, no seam! So I began to wear my nearly vintage leggings all the time, until finally that front seam unravelled. Then the search began for another pair of good black legging-type pants with a front center seam! Now mind you I am a plus sized gal so this was no easy feat. Finally found these pants and voila! They are better than my now unravelled (cleaning) leggings! The fabric is thick and rich feeling, and the front seam is flat, not raised, but still makes such a difference in elevating these from workout leggings to office/night out attire. They are not tight at the ankle so look good with flats, but best of all they ARE tight ENOUGH to go nicely into my tall black boots. There is nice detail around the waist band that will never see the light of day on me because I only wear under long tops, but if you wear them so that shows then it is a really nice detail.

Pros
  • Clothing
Cons
  • The pants are not durable and will wear out quickly with regular use
