HUE Women's Ultra Soft Cotton Leggings with Wide Waistband, Full and Capri Length

I love these so much. Almost 100% cotton .... so mostly nontoxic! Nice tummy control. I wish they made these in shorts too! The capris are nice but shorts would be the best for summer. Shorts ones and like a mid thigh. 🖤✌️😎

In early 2010,I got a pair of black American Apparel leggings that I loved & wore extremely often for almost 4 years. By late fall 2013,however,they had predictably become quite worn -- they had a few holes & were bit faded & were so stretched out that they were practically falling off me (not ideal for leggings!).I'm not complaining;almost 4 years is a good run for leggings worn about 2-3 times a week except in the summer (I also have a brown pair that I bought at the same time but wore much less & those are still in great shape)but it was definitely time for a new pair! I wanted to buy another pair of those same AA leggings but the price had gone up quite a bit, my budget was tight & I couldn't find them on sale anywhere. It was December & I really wanted black leggings for the winter so, after looking around & reading the reviews for several different brands/styles, I decided to order these, which were not exactly cheap as far as leggings go but were definitely more reasonably priced than the AA ones. I figured if I didn't like them as much as the AA ones, I could order those when my bank account recovered a bit from the holidays or I found them on sale.I never ended up ordering the AA ones, though, bc these are great! They are high quality (no holes or fading after several months of very frequent wear), very comfortable & fit well. I am just slightly smaller, weight-wise, than the "average" woman (I'm 5'5 1/2" -- I usually round up to 5'6" but for the sake of helping others chose the right size, I'll refrain from doing so here ;)-- & weigh about 115 lbs, maybe 120 when I've been particularly hungry or 110 when I've been exercising every day or coming off an illness) & typically wear an XS in women's clothing unless the brand runs small & the XS in these fit well.I could probably gain an extra 10-15 lbs or lose 5-10 lbs & they'd still fit well -- leggings are nice like that! They are thick enough that I wasn't cold wearing them outside in the winter, though it typically doesn't get all that cold where I live. I did wear them with a skirt & warm boots on a few days when it was in the 30s & 40s ,though,& was fine.I wasn't, however, outside for all that long -- the longest was 25 minutes while supervising recess; I wouldn't wear them if I were going to be out walking all day unless it was at least in the low 50s. I also wore them outside for quite a while on several days it the 70s-low 80s & was not at all hot. I finally had to retire them for the season when it got to be warmer than that, however :)The only slight drawback is that they are rather long on me. My legs are pretty short for someone my height -- I have a somewhat long torso & a kind of big head lol -- so I run into that problem with women's pants fairly often (unless I get a short/petite pair). I'm guessing, though, that they would be a bit long on even someone my height with legs that are proportionate to her height as they seem longer than most women's pants. It's not a major issue for me bc I generally wear them with boots & when I wear them w/ other shoes/sandals I can just pull them up higher on my torso without them looking noticeably different, especially since I always wear leggings with a skirt,tunic, or dress. If you plan on wearing them with both a shorter top & shoes/sandals instead of boots, however, the length might be a problem.

I really like these leggings and now own three pairs, in black, dark gray and navy. They are opaque, not super tight, which I prefer, and the waist band really does lay flat. The seams stay on the side of your leg too and don't shift to the front the way some leggings do. They are a nice weight for spring and fall. When I got below freezing, I added silks underneath and I was comfortable. They may be a little warm for the middle of the summer.Only complaint: I ordered the white ones and was really disappointed. Considering the weight of the other colors I bought, I was shocked at how sheer they were. I returned them.UPDATE: I recently ordered these in black cherry. Pretty color but it was a good thing I hand washed separately first. The color runs, even in very cold water. I did not have this problem with the black, gray or brown color.UPDATE2: I still love these leggings. The ones I purchased last year have held up really well. I wash them on cold, delicate and dry on delicate, low heat, except for the cherry. Those I have hand washed now at least 5 times and still get color run during the rinse. Also, I recently ordered the bungee cord color. It is much darker than pictured. It is more like a slightly worn khaki green shade. I gave them a quick handwash and these are colorfast. Also, I read some comments about the inseam. The XL inseam measured 29 inches, but of course, depending on how you fill them out, they can appear shorter on. They are a bit long for me, but I normally wear them with boots, booties or sneakers and they are either tucked in or puddling slightly.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:comfortable and good thickness with some hold. wish they had more colors. love the waistband.

I have a few pairs of athleta leggings from around 2018 that I LOVE but they do not make the fabric like that anymore - it’s a Lycra blend that’s thicker and still breathable. This is the closest I have found (and I’ve recently ordered about ten pairs leggings from Amazon and sent all but this and one other pair back). I was looking for a legging that had a thick waistband, no elastic in the waistband, and a thick breathable fabric. This hit all the marks in that regard.My waist is about 27”, hips 36”. I purchased a small. I found them slightly on the large side in my hips and butt, and I found that the seam that connects the pants to the waistband sort of digs in and makes me look like I have hip dips when I don’t. but they are comfy regardless. I’m going to order an xs and keep both for diff occasions. These will be more for every day wear rather than exercise.I have two main gripes: the inseam length and the crotch sewing.I have pretty long legs, for being 5’4”, and these do bunch at the ankle on me. I generally prefer I suppose a 26” inseam. However I think these are 28” and I’ve bought 28” inseam leggings before and they weren’t this baggy/long. Not a dealbreaker though, I’ll keep them for the fabric alone.The crotch does not have a triangular gusset like most leggings. I find that because of this, the seam likes to ride up into my crotch a little too much for my liking and is not as comfortable. Again, not a deal breaker for me but not the best thing.I am still on the hunt for my new favorite legging but these are definitely at the top and a really nice price too.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Decent leggings. I enjoyed the wide & high waist. i used the white pair to act as 'lining' under some white pants. Just know, rather than a 'triangle' patch in the crotch... they have a straight line seam.Not the most comfortable, when it comes to leggings or hosiery. A cheap cop out, if you ask me, for the price.
