Nordie's Sale Related - Zella

[raangoli]

I'm tempted to get a pair of the Zella live-in leggings. Are they obviously athletic looking or can I pass them off as leggings with a tunic? And really, are they all that people make them out to be?

LOL RockNVoll - that is the best description ever. I do like the idea of thicker material. I thought about the capris as well, but I have short legs and wondered if they would cut off in a weird spot.

I'll give them a try. I'm trying not to buy ALL THE THINGS. But I won't make any guarantees.

I have very short legs and the capris work on me.  I would order both and try them.  In fact, order an extra pair of each because they are awesome and you will regret only having one pair and then you'll have to wait until next year's sale to get them at this price.

Not projecting at all.  Or enabling.

Fine. Twist my arm why don't you.

YES THEY ARE WORTH IT.

I wasn't a believer and then picked up a pair of capri's at the Rack. OMG. They just feel like nice leggings.

I ordered a full length pair through the sale.

I have the capris and use them for casual leggings with boots all the time. Love them!

[shamrockshake]

I am pretty sure I am the only person who doesn't like these. I tried them and just packed them up to go back.

these  are the most amazing leggings I have ever worn. someone posted about them on S&B last year, they're awesome and also on sale 

[protozoa]

I'm so glad you asked this, I was wondering the same!

[winnied]

Bah, now I want to buy them, too!

[raangoli]

shamrockshake - I heard that about the Hue leggings. I like the idea of the wide waistband.

winnied - That's the beauty of MM - we make you want to spend! haha! ETA: I have $325 worth of leggings and tunics in my cart. And a watch, but I really do need that. I can't keep wearing my digital rubber running watch to work, hah!

I wear them as non workout leggings all the time. They're reversible and one side isn't athletic looking at all.

I didn't realize they are reversible. Woo! 

[ijack]

I think one of the sides looks a little shiny. I like to wear them with the tag on the outside. I really only wear them one way.
I can't wait for legging weather

[hbomdiggity]

Baaah

[monsterz]

I have 3 pairs. I wear them with a long tunic all the time

[majesty318]

I just got them in the mail today. I think they are too compression-y (to steal incogneato 's word) but re-ordered a size up to see.

Also got the Hue ones, love them, and already ordered in the other 2 colors!

Interesting, thanks! I have both the Zella and the Hue in my cart. I guess I will do the side-by-side comparison as well  

[ijack]

darn it you guys, now I'm going to have to order the hue leggings too!!!
How thick are they? Can I wear them without a long shirt (yes, sometimes I wear leggings and my ass shows)? I really like compression, so maybe they aren't for me?

[majesty318]

ijack the Hue ones are thick but feel like cotton leggings as opposed to compression workout pants. I think they would be opaque enough.

[shamrockshake]

the Hue ones are so fantastic. They are thick cotton, SO comfortable, the wide waistband keeps everything nicely flattened

[ijack]

Another question - the pic shows the leggings loose around the model's ankles. Is that how they are in real life?

[ijack]

oh and TTS? I wear a L in zella, do I want the same size in hue?

[majesty318]

I ordered Zella & Hue in M. Hue fit great; Zella I want to try L. So I would say yes, Hue TTS.
