Review on High Waisted Leggings For Women | SATINA Capri & Full Length Styles by Rachel Simmons

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Soft, stretchy, keeps shape all day, no pelling if turned inside out when washing

These are my absolute favorite leggings ever. The crazy thing is that they really are like the sisterhood of the traveling pants, lots of people have borrowed my leggings and they are all different shapes and sizes and somehow these always fit and are comfortable for the person I actually had one of my pairs stolen by my sister. For reference I am 5 foot tall, 135 pounds, Apple shape with athletic build. It is difficult to find leggings that I don’t need to roll up because of my short stature but these fit perfectly and I do not need to roll them up at all. Also they shape to my legs nicely and I have thin muscular legs. However I have had tall people borrow them and they also fit them length wise. There has also been larger pear-shaped friends of mine that have borrowed these as well and they also fit I do not know how it is possible but they do. I thought after one of my larger friends borrowed them that they might be stretched out, but no I wash them and they went right back to the size they were before. Far reference I usually wear a size 6 in pants the friend I am referring to wore a size 14. It is important to note that these are not tummy control leggings so if that is what you are looking for these will not work but they are so unbelievably comfortable I would live in them. I now own about eight pairs of these leggings some are capris which incidentally hit me right length wise which is hard to find as well. The first pair I ever bought was before they started putting pockets in them and I loved them so much but only wished they had pockets. Low and behold they now have pockets as an option and they are real pockets that I can stick my whole hand in up to my wrist with fingers extended fully. More women’s clothes need real pockets! The first pair I owned pilled, then I figured out I needed to turn them inside out when washing I have never had an issue with pilling sense. Most of the colors I own are dark colors, but two of them are lighter colors the lavender gray ones are not see-through but the coral colored ones are a little bit not bad but I’d have to wear skin colored panties with them. So I have had these pants for a while the first pair I’m not sure exactly but I would guess around two years or so they still look great and I wear them a lot so they get washed a lot color is the same and like I said if turned inside out there is no pilling. They are high waisted and so there is no issue with them sliding down and they move with me when I move. In fact I just did a taekwondo class with these on and we had an obstacle course which involved moving around things up and over things balancing while kicking and punching and other strikes. I did not have to readjust my pants once during the whole class which is very unusual for pants in general with that type of movement. To summarize, they feel great to the touch, they look great on, they move with you as you move, and they fit lots of different body types and shapes. And bonus, they just came out with shorts this summer so excited! Now we just need pockets in the capris and the shorts then these would be the only pants I would ever buy.

Pros
  • Goes well with a variety of different accessories, from scarves to jewelry
Cons
  • They are not breathable enough for warmer weather.
