Sunzel Flare Leggings, Crossover Yoga Pants with Tummy Control, High-Waisted and Wide Leg

Sunzel Flare Leggings are wide-leg yoga pants with a crossover waistband, made for yoga sessions, gym training and casual wear.

• Fabric: 80% nylon, 20% spandex, soft and stretchy with an opaque, lightweight finish
• Waist: high-rise V crossover front, no zip or drawstring closure
• Inseam: 30 inches, regular length, with a flared leg opening

The high waist and V seam shape the fit through the middle, while the flare gives the lower leg a longer line than a standard legging. A reasonable pick for anyone who wants the stretch of a legging in a silhouette that reads more like trousers, so the same pair works for a class in the morning and errands afterwards.

Fit runs best when sized to the waist rather than the hip, since the crossover panel sits flat only when it has enough fabric to wrap correctly. If you are between sizes, go up rather than down. The flared hem works best for people with a longer inseam, so anyone shorter than about 5 foot 4 may find the leg bunches slightly at the ankle unless hemmed. Machine wash cold and hang to dry rather than putting them in a dryer, since the spandex content degrades faster with repeated heat. Store folded rather than on a hanger to keep the waistband from stretching out of shape over time.

When comparing this style against other flare leggings, the things worth checking are whether the waistband is lined or single-layer, how far the flare starts on the leg, and whether the fabric pills after washing. A lined waistband holds its shape longer. A flare that begins at the knee gives a more trouser-like silhouette than one that flares only at the hem. These leggings suit people who want a single pair that moves between active and casual settings without looking like gym wear from the waist down.
