The Reviews Prove It: These Leggings Are Awesome

Leggings are easily one of the biggest wardrobe staples of the moment. They’ve gotten so popular, in fact, that H&M has a treggings section that carries hybrid legging-trousers that are—get this—office-approved. And with everyone from celebs to models consistently embracing the athleisure pants, it’s safe to say the trendy bottoms are here to stay.
So when it comes to a solid pair of cropped leggings that can go from the gym to lounge mode for lazy Sundays, which brand makes the best ones? SheKnows recently raved about a pair that is a favorite among Nordstrom shoppers, with over 100 five-star reviews. The Zella "Live In" Crop style goes for just under $50, which is reasonable considering how satisfied customers are when they shop for the brand’s different styles. The best-selling pants are made with a moisture-wicking knit fabric that gives the comfort we come to expect from leggings and makes them wearable for a gym session.
Read more about why the folks at SheFinds approve of these leggings, and keep scrolling to shop the favored style below.
