No NonsenseWomen's Stretch Denim Leggings with Pockets
C**O
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?

Great fit!
Just received mine and tried on immediately. I couldn’t believe they fit perfectly. I’m 5’2” and small was just right. Slight bag in the rear end but only because I’m very thin. They fit better than any regular jeans i have. Color is nice and fabric is soft. LOVE the mid rise fit because I’m also short waisted. Will order again!

Nice actually!!!
The material is little bit thin, but overall they’re really nice! Very comfortable and actually long enough!! I am 5‘10, 149lbs - and never find any jeggings, leggings or pants that are long enough. I will definitely be buying another pair of these. Very flattering!!

So comfortable!
Saw a sales lady wearing them and asked what brand they were. She raved about them and said she wears them to work every day. I got a pair and had to agree with her! They are wonderful! I ordered another pair and got my sister to order a pair too. (She was wearing a small and was probably a size 8. I’m a size 4 and worried they would be too big but they fit great.)

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.

Legging confortable
Pantalon confortable. Je fais un bon 40 et le L correspond bien. J'aurai aimé qu'il soit encore plus élastique notamment à la taille mais il fais son job.Il a l'air solide et de bonne qualité.

Love. Now have an entire drawer filled with different colours. Try them!!
Wow. I bought one pair of these and loved them. Now I own a whole drawer in light, medium and dark medium as well as black. I usually take size 16 to 18, or a 1-2X depending on the brand, but ordered these in XXL. The size is perfect! The waist is large and very roomy but still fits well. This also allows for a small bit of shrinkage in the laundry over time. I am 5'7" and the length is just right. If you are very tall you may find these a bit short. Overall, these jeggings are far more comfortable than any pair of jeans or leggings I've ever owned. I havent worn or washed them very often yet and hope they are durable in the longer term. For that reason, I will write a later update. For now, I am completely happy with my 5 pairs of jeggings and 2 pairs of jeggings capris. I obviously would not have bought so many if I didn't love them - so give them a try!Update: I wear these jeggings everyday now that I have to work onsite again. I just pair them with long tunic tops and cardigans and they look great. And so comfortable too! I actually find these more comfortable than all my regular leggings. I wash my jeggings inside out together in a mesh laundry bag on a cold, delicate cycle and also dry on a delicate setting so they last longer. So far, they are still in perfect shape. When they do start to wear out eventually, I will absolutely purchase more as long as the price remains reasonable. I would also like to try some other colours. These jeggings actually look really great too. Whenever my gf sees me in these she comments on how good I look. So far, so good. I'm impressed by these jeggings and still rate them 5 stars.
